CFB TV Guesses for 10/4

* I really think you could see a six day hold on CBS's selection between LSU-Auburn, Texas A&M-Mississippi St. & Alabama-Ole Miss.  For purposes of this exercise, I'm giving Alabama-Ole Miss the nod for now.
* If you are of the opinion that ABC games should carry the best games every week, I'm not sure why there are three ABC windows.   Because of this, I cut the late evening ESPN window plus the 4pm ESPNEWS window.
* By cutting out the late evening ESPN window, you could make a move of the 7pm ET ESPN window to 8pm too.
* I also cut out the 4pm ESPNEWS window.  I'm not sure there is a worthwhile game from the MAC, Sun Belt or Mountain West to fill it, though UNLV-San Jose St. was selected to air on an ESPN platform.  I think that one airs on ESPN3.
* I believe ESPN will try to spread out the SEC games where they can. LSU-Auburn, at 12pm, deserves to stay out of the way of the other games in the evening.
* Because the Pac-12 Networks do not have an evening game, I believe that FOX will carry a Pac-12 game at 7:30pm ET and that they will have a Big 12 game at 3:30pm.
* Time is already set for Nebraska-Michigan St.  Just making a decision on the network.

  2. I mis-wrote. Should have said no evening game (ie. 8pm)
