CFB TV Guesses for 2015 Week Five (10/1/15 - 10/3/15)

* Initial listings from FOX Sports Midwest indicated only an ACC RSN game at 12pm, but as guide listings populated yesterday, a second game was added at 3:30pm ET.
* ESPN Mediazone indicated that two games will air on SEC Network at 7:30pm.  One on the main channel and one on the alternate.
* I don't know when the MAC's ASN game is scheduled.  Just listing it as TBA since I don't believe it is dependent on other games since it seems to be airing on a number of digital subchannels.  If they wanted to widely distribute it, and whether they can is another story, 12pm ET is a possibility.
* Purdue at Michigan St. is locked in to a 12pm start as a homecoming game.
* Learned or reinforced from last week: a) Don't bother with the time that the Texas Statcast is scheduled and correlating it to when Texas's game will air. b) Pac-12 Networks windows will rarely move to the time you think they will.
* I did not use the 10:30pm ESPN window.  When the 2nd ACC RSN window appeared, it left me with more windows than games I considered for television.  If the 3:30pm RSN window does not exist, move BC-Duke to the 12pm RSN window, kick Pitt-VT to 3:30pm ESPN and move Arizona-Stanford to 10:30pm ESPN.  Alternatively, the 12pm ABC window can be removed, move WVU-OU to 3:30pm ESPN and Arizona-Stanford to 10:30pm ESPN.

EDIT: 8pm ESPNEWS window does not exist.  Moved Colorado St. at Utah St. to ESPN3.

Hey, Matt, love your site! My go to place for what's all TV viewing for college football. Just a observation from me, WVU @ OU noon ABC. Would that be national? Following week is Texas/OU which tends to be noon ABC national. thanks....

Seems like this a good week for a 6-day hold in the Big XII. Wait and see how TT stacks up against TCU and if WVU handles Maryland before they pick the primetime game for Fox.

Re: 12pm ABC - It is scheduled as full national.

Why wouldn't Colorado St - Utah St take the 1030pm ESPN slot?

I don't think it would TJ and as I was going through more listings last night, I think the second ACC RSN was an incorrect listing where some RSNs should have been listing FSN's coverage of WKU-Rice. So AZ-STAN would probably be at 10:30pm, BC-Duke at 12pm on ACC RSN and Pitt-VT to ESPN at 3:30pm.
