Week three is the last week of the season before most Saturday kickoffs are decided twelve days in advance of the game.
Games to air on syndication packages like American Sports Network or as webcast exclusives (ie. MW Network, ESPN3, C-USA DN) are not listed. Note that the MAC, Mountain West & Sun Belt schedules have not yet been released, but I don't believe a intraconference game involving those three conferences will have a major impact.
Thursday
7:30pm ESPN: Clemson at Louisville (confirmed for this date)
7:30pm FS1: Rice at North Texas
Friday
* FS1 is scheduled to carry a NASCAR truck series race at 8:30pm ET. They should be able to carry the New Mexico at Arizona St. game based on the tentative start time of 10pm ET as the race should take up around 90 minutes of air time. To give some breathing room between the race and the game, I think the football game will start at 10:15pm ET.
* Because East Carolina at Navy was scheduled for 9/19 along with Wake Forest at Army likely occupying the 12pm slot that day, I believe that CBSSN will select either Arizona at Nevada or Utah at Fresno St. for a move to Friday night. Chose the Fresno St. game in this scenario, especially with Arizona St. moving their game to Friday.
8pm ESPN: Florida St. at Boston College (confirmed for this date)
10pm CBSSN: Utah at Fresno St.
10:15pm FS1: New Mexico at Arizona St.
Saturday
* I am assuming a 8pm FS1 MLB game. Could always move to 7pm, moving the BYU at UCLA game up 30 minutes to 3:30pm ET. A 1pm FOX MLB telecast window has already been scheduled based on existing printed MLB schedules.
* If ABC were to not use a 12pm window, they could show both SMU at TCU & Nebraska at Miami regionally on ABC without a reverse mirror, then show both Pittsburgh at Iowa & Rutgers at Penn St. nationally on ESPN & ESPN2.

Matt, is ABC/ESPN2 still doing reverse mirrors with Big Ten games? If so, what happens here?

They could do a reverse mirror if they wanted to. Did not consider possibility of that. Good call though.
