* ABC does not have an 8pm window due to NASCAR
* I'm assuming there will again be an ESPNEWS window. Put it on the Akron-Northern Illinois game. USF-UConn would be the easy way out but neither team has won a game. Did not change the kickoff time for Akron-NIU.
* FOX's broadcast window is at 3:30pm due to the MLB playoffs. First of a three week stretch where their window is not in prime time on the east coast.
* I put Tulsa-UTEP on FOX Sports 1 at 4pm. Don't see it on FSN at 12pm, but FOX has shown a willingness to move their telecast windows around, such as the move of the 12pm FSN window to 4pm on 9/28 and reordering the windows on FS1 on 10/5. If they move the FSN window to a later time, like 4pm ET, move the Iowa St.-Texas Tech game to FS1 at 4pm and Tulsa-UTEP to FSN. I guess they could, if they really wanted to, play the game at 10am local time in El Paso (they are the corner of Texas on Mountain Time). Some Mountain West schools, up until about 10 years ago, would schedule a 10am kickoff to stay out of the ESPN Plus regional window to show a game on TV.
* I placed the Michigan-Penn St. game, set for a 5pm kickoff as it is a Big Ten homecoming game, on ESPN and slid their evening telecast window to 8:15pm.
* In addition to Michigan-Penn St., Northwestern-Wisconsin and Indiana-Michigan St. are set in terms of their kickoff times as homecoming games.
* I've flip-flopped on Missouri-Georgia & Florida-LSU on CBS afternoon & ESPN primetime three times. I don't think CBS will use another six day option right away though.
* Gave strong consideration to Bowling Green-Mississippi St. being PPV since the Bulldogs have not used that option yet. Could have eliminated one 10:15pm window, moved Georgia Tech-BYU to 7pm ESPNU and South Carolina-Arkansas to FSN.
