It's a move we all knew was coming for weeks now, but FOX made it official on Monday. The Big Noon Kickoff crew will be live in Ann Arbor on Saturday for the Texas vs. Michigan tilt. The two-hour event will run from 10 a.m. to Noon on FOX before Joel Klatt and Gus Johnson take over on the call.

ESPN College GameDay will also be in Ann Arbor for the highly anticipated showdown between two 2023 College Football Playoff teams. The Longhorns ultimately lost to Washington in the semifinals before the Huskies fell to Michigan in the title game. Both Michigan and Texas are 1-0 on the new year.
