Fox College Football Fox College Football ( stylized as CFB on Fox in logos ) is the branding used for broadcasts of NCAA Division I FBS college football produced by Fox Sports . Fox Sports airs games from the Pac - 12 Conference , Big 12 Conference , and Conference USA telecasts which are aired on the Fox network , Fox College Sports , Fox Sports Networks , and FX . National sports network Fox Sports 1 will begin airing games in fall 2013 . Coverage history . Since the 1998 season , Fox had been the broadcaster of the Cotton Bowl Classic . Fox ' s current contract for the game was renewed in 2010 , and lasts until the 2014 season . Beginning in the 2011 season , sister cable channel FX began to air a weekly Saturday game of the week featuring match - ups from the Big 12 , Pac - 12 , and Conference USA . The Fox network also began to air the Big Ten Conference ' s new championship game , as a compliment to Fox Sports ' continuing involvement with the Big Ten Network . Additionally , Fox broadcast the inaugural Pac - 12 Football Championship Game it will alternate yearly with ESPN to air the game . Beginning in the 2012 season , Fox also added regular season games on Saturdays to its lineup ; it will broadcast 8 afternoon games and 12 night games throughout the season , the latter as part of a new strategy to air more sports programming on Saturday nights . Past coverage . From the 2006 through the 2009 seasons , Fox held the broadcast rights to most Bowl Championship Series ( BCS ) games ; including the Sugar Bowl , Fiesta Bowl and Orange Bowl as well as the BCS Championship Game . Fox paid close to $ 20 million per game to televise the BCS . Its contract with the BCS excluded any BCS event held at the Rose Bowl stadium , such as the Rose Bowl Game and the 2010 BCS National Championship Game , as ABC already had a separate arrangement with the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association to serve as the broadcaster for the games . ESPN , who is primarily owned by ABC ' s parent company and serves as the producer for all of ABC ' s sports coverage , would displace Fox outright as broadcaster of the BCS beginning in the 2010 - 11 season . This left the Fox network with only the Cotton Bowl Classic as its remaining game until the 2011 - 12 season . Commentators . The following are weekly regular season college football broadcast teams for the 2013 season on Fox , FX , Fox Sports Networks , and Fox College Sports ( FCS ) . The studio shows across the networks are hosted by Erin Andrews ( on Fox ) , Patrick O ' Neal ( on FX ) , and Kevin Frazier ( on FSN ) , with analysts Eddie George , Joey Harrington ( on Fox and FX ) and Marcus Allen ( on FSN ) . Other commentators . Chris Rose was the studio host for Fox ' s BCS coverage . In 2007 , " Fox NFL Sunday " had a new feature , a pre - recorded segment named " Grumpy Old Coaches " , where Jimmy Johnson and fellow former Cowboys head coach Barry Switzer talked about the week in football . A segment of highlights and commentary of the previous day ' s college football games is also featured , as a gesture to Fox ' s then recent acquisition of the Bowl Championship Series ( BCS ) . This segment lasted on the show for only the 2007 season . With the BCS on FOX , the Fiesta Bowl became the first bowl game to air on all the " big four " television networks ( ABC , CBS , Fox , NBC ) - the Orange Bowl became the second , the following night . On - screen graphics and theme music . Telecasts of college football games on the Fox network have always variants of the graphics used by " NFL on Fox " telecasts of the time ( along with a red variant of its logo for BCS games , which were branded as " BCS on Fox " ) , while telecasts on FSN had used the current FSN graphics package . Telecasts began to use the 2010 " NFL on Fox " graphics ( but with a scoreboard using team names instead of logos ) as of the 2011 Cotton Bowl Classic , with FSN following suit for the 2011 regular season . Due to Fox ' s standardization around the theme for all sports telecasts , college football games on Fox and FX also began to use " NFL on Fox " theme music as of 2011 . Telecasts on FSN utilize different theme music , which as with all other Fox Sports themes , is based on the " NFL on Fox " theme . For the 2012 season , the theme music for FX and Fox broadcasts was changed to use a marching band - style arrangement of the " NFL on Fox " theme . Game schedules . 2012 .
