CFB TV Confirmations for 2025 Week 9 (10/25/2025)

This post will be updated as announcements come out for start times for Week 9 (10/25/25) from the (mostly) twelve day selection process that most TV networks adhere to. Most conferences have the possibility of having all or part of their scheduled games held for a six day hold for the start time and/or the TV network. The list of available TV windows are based on media websites, TV listings and press releases. They can change based on the needs of the broadcaster or the conference.

Here's what I guessed based on the available openings (they will prove to be incorrect), along with the games that have already been set. 

Also, the American's Black Friday game on ESPN at 3:30pm ET has been set: Temple at North Texas.

CFB TV Guesses for 2025 Week 9 (10/25/2025)

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 will not have a primetime window due to World Series Game 2.

* Games slotted for a start time or a TV network, but not both:

• San Diego State at Fresno State (TBA, FOX Sports)
• North Dakota State at South Dakota State (TBA, ESPN linear TV nets)
• Rutgers at Purdue (12pm, TBA)
• Alabama A&M vs. Alabama State (3:30pm, ESPN linear TV or ESPN+)
• SEC game slots
• Early only: Auburn at Arkansas & Ole Miss at Oklahoma
• Evening only: Tennessee at Kentucky
• Everything else can flex between afternoon and evening

* I went with FOX having the top pick for the Big Ten, followed by NBC and CBS. Struggled a little due to several Week 7 Big Ten results.  Michigan can certainly be a ratings juggernaut, but I went with UCLA at Indiana at the top.  I realize this is also Michigan State's 3rd night game at home based on how I ordered things too, but I don't think I'd see how NBC would pass up another opportunity at the Wolverines.

* For the Big 12, I had ESPN picking BYU at Iowa State first, then Colorado at Utah.  I had FOX coming in 3rd with Houston at Arizona State.

* FS1 only listed three telecast windows, which indicates that FOX Sports will only carry one Big 12 game since they don't have a late evening broadcast network window planned.  

* North Dakota State at South Dakota State looks like it could be No. 1 vs. No. 2 in FCS.  I'd love to get it to ESPN2, but I fear its going to be stuck on ESPNU.
* We should receive the game ESPN will air from the American on Black Friday.  Despite the loss this past Friday for the Mean Green, I'd expect Temple at North Texas to be moved.

CFB TV Guesses for 2025 Week 8 (10/18/2025)

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: 

* Peacock will carry a pair of Big Ten games.  NBC will not have a Big Ten game due to airing a Notre Dame home game in primetime.

* Two ACC games were preselected for ESPN's late evening and The CW.

* BTN has two windows but at unique start times: 3pm & 6:30pm ET.

* Games set for time or TV but not both:

• Michigan State at Indiana (12pm, 3:30pm or 4pm, TBA)
• Oregon at Rutgers (6:30pm or 7pm, TBA)
• Alcorn State at Florida A&M (4pm, ESPN Nets)
• Nevada at New Mexico (TBA, FOX Sports)
• UNLV at Boise State (TBA, FOX Sports)
• SEC time slots:
• Mississippi State at Florida - afternoon only
• Texas at Kentucky -  evening only
• Oklahoma at South Carolina & LSU at Vanderbilt - early only
• All other games not previously mentioned can be afternoon or evening

* I had CBS selecting first for the Big Ten, followed by FOX and NBC choosing both of its Peacock games.

* For the Big 12, I had FOX choosing ahead of ESPN.  I have Utah at BYU in the noon slot (10am local) with the possibility that it could be the noon ABC game swapping with LSU at Vanderbilt.  There's a chance you'll see a Big 12 six day hold used for some or all of the schedule, and maybe lumping UNLV at Boise State into the mix for the 8pm FOX slot.

* Another place where there might be a six day hold: 3:30pm and 7:30pm ABC with both Tennessee at Alabama and Ole Miss at Georgia.

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.
