CFB TV Guesses for 2025 Week 7 (10/11/2025)

Here are the games already set for television and/or webcast. Here are the known available telecast windows. 

I have done my best to list what TV windows are out there. Every listing service has a little different schedule for these networks. It is also possible that a window could be eliminated or the time of a window could shift slightly to accommodate a network's needs.

Instead of cluttering up these posts even more, I'll try to keep track of the unique conference TV arrangements in a separate post.  

A few notes and considerations: 

* FOX initially planned for an ALCS window in primetime, but with the day not planned for any AL postseason games, they moved a planned 11pm ET window up to 7:30pm.
* BTN has a third window available at 7:30pm ET.
* Games slotted for TV or a start time, but not both
  • Northwestern at Penn State (12pm, 3:30pm or 4pm, TBA)
  • UCLA at Michigan State (12pm, TBA)
  • Purdue at Minnesota (7pm or 7:30pm, TBA)
  • New Mexico at Boise State (TBA, FOX Sports)
  • Alabama at Missouri (12pm, ABC or ESPN)
  • Oklahoma vs. Texas (3:30pm, ABC or ESPN)
  • Alabama State at Jackson State (3:30pm, ESPN Networks or ESPN+)
  • Texas Southern at Grambling State (7pm, ESPN Networks or ESPN+)
  • Other SEC game time slots
    • Georgia at Auburn = Evening
    • All others = Afternoon or Evening
* I'm a little confused by the number of FS1 windows.  I think two are clearly open (12pm & 10:30pm), but two are listing reruns of games from the prior weeks (3:30pm & 7pm) in some listing services and I think those are incorrect listings.  I think FS1 has four slots available.
* Speaking of that 10:30pm FS1 window, I'm expecting that to move up to 9:45pm for a Boise State home game, with the game vs. New Mexico starting on FS2.
* The CW lists a noon game, but with only four ACC games available, I think its possible they either skip this week (they only carry 13 games every year and have done ACC doubleheaders later in the year) or an ACCN slot gets dropped.  I dropped both the noon and mid-afternoon ACCN slots. If the CW skips a week, put its game on ACCN at 3:30pm.
* I have FOX going first for the Big Ten with Ohio State at Illinois.  After that, I went with CBS next over NBC.  Would Michigan at USC be a better draw? Maybe.
* For the Big 12, I have ESPN taking first pick and FOX alternating the first four selections.
