* CBS has already selected the Florida-Georgia game from Jacksonville for its 3:30pm ET game. A fairly safe bet either way when you look at the rest of the SEC schedule, save for Mississippi St.-Alabama which looks decent right now.
* FOX does not have a primetime game this week due to the World Series. They'll have a 3:30pm game on FOX and a 3pm game on F/X
* I've moved the Michigan-Nebraska game up one hour to 7pm on ESPN2. This is to accommodate a Pac-12 window in the evening, allow for Ohio St.-Penn St. to be a doubleheader on ESPN and give Notre Dame-Oklahoma a full national telecast on ABC at 8pm.
* FOX did have Texas-Kansas in its leaked list. I'm moving away from that and giving Texas Tech-Kansas St. the 3:30pm slot
* Yes, I crammed four games into ABC's 3:30pm slot. SEC overcrowding from other slots never helps. I know the Pac-12 games are supposed to be full national, at least that's what they've told us. Not much I can do.
* Pac-12 Network is expected to do a tripleheader

Is it possible there could be a second SEC Network game added to relieve at least a little bit of the glut? Shifting Ole Miss/Arkansas to there and splitting the telecast (something that happened occasionally when it was JP/Lincoln Financial) could be workable maybe.
I was told by someone in the know with one of the SEC schools that they've requested no split syndication telecasts. They allowed one during the 1st year of the contract a few years back, but after that they scheduled an extra game to CSS to get around it.
