Two teams on the verge of bowl eligibility square off this weekend in Orlando when UCF hosts Arizona State.
The Knights (5-4, 3-3 in Big 12) beat Kansas 33-32 thanks to a last-second touchdown pass from Alzona Barnett III that stood up after a lengthy and confusing video review. Making his first start since injuring his hamstring Sept. 12, Barnett threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns, with Monmouth transfer Josh Derry hauling in eight balls for a season-high 143 yards and a score.
ASU (5-4, 3-3) comes into the Bounce House off a 20-10 win over Colorado. The one-two combo of quarterback Jake Fette and running back Cardae Mack accounted for 328 yards across all three offensive categories: Fette even caught a touchdown pass from Mack from 1 yard out.
Here's when the Knights and Sun Devils square off this week.
UCF hosts Arizona State on Saturday in their Week 11 game. The game will air on ESPN2 with streaming options including Fubo, which offers a free trial for new subscribers.
As of noon Tuesday, Nov. 10, tickets to UCF-Arizona State were available for as low as $12 with seats in the lower level available for $51. To see a full list of ticket prices, visit StubHub.
The Knights and Sun Devils kick off at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Bounce House in Orlando, Florida.
ASU hasn't won any of its three road games in 2026, but all of those games came against teams ranked in the top 10 at the time (Texas A&M, Texas Tech and BYU). Neither of these teams is what anyone would confuse with an offensive juggernaut — UCF ranks 11th in scoring and last in yardage in the 16-team Big 12, while ASU sits 14th and 13th — while their so-so defenses make anything possible week after week.
The Sun Devils are an above-average pass defense, ranking sixth in the conference in allowing 219.6 yards per game through the air. They've also been good on third downs, allowing conversions on just over 34% of such plays, fourth-best in the conference. UCF is among the worst passing teams in the Big 12, though starter Alonza Barnett has been around for parts of just four games this year, and he is coming off his best game since arriving from James Madison.
That said, Pacific Time teams coming across the country to play in the Eastern Time Zone is a dangerous prospect. A Mountain Time team has already gone down in Orlando (remember storming the field after beating BYU?), and Arizona State's last trip this far east was a 24-14 loss at Cincinnati in 2024, when Cam Skattebo led an exciting College Football Playoff run. In what's otherwise a tossup, a cross-country trip could be the difference.
