2019 Week 3 Early Season CFB TV Guesses

So I couldn't think of any major conflicts for sports events that ESPN or FOX.  No MLB for FOX to carry as they'll carry MLB on their broadcast network on Thursday nights for a couple weeks in September, probably two weeks where NFL Network exclusively carries Thursday night NFL games if you want to track that against other sports.

Here's the deal: If the game isn't listed, assume it will be streamed by whatever the home conference's streaming arrangements are (ESPN3, ESPN+, Stadium online, etc.)

Friday
7pm ACCN: Kansas at Boston College
8pm ESPN: Washington St. vs. Houston

Saturday
12pm ABC: Stanford at UCF
12pm FOX: Pittsburgh at Penn St.

2019 Week 2 Early Season CFB TV Guesses

Known items for other sports that week

• ESPN will have US Open tennis Thursday & Friday night, plus Saturday afternoon covering the women's championship match in mid-afternoon.
• FS1 has two MLB games at 4pm & 7pm ET.  
• The opening night of the NFL season is Thursday night and there's been virtually no major CFB competing against that game for a few years.

Unknown

• It is unknown whether FOX broadcast network has any MLB commitments on this Saturday.  None are currently listed, but I don't know if this is a week where FOX can select a game on about ten days notice.
• Don't know when UFC would have it's September PPV and the channel for those prelims. Didn't account for a PPV this week.

Friday

7pm ACCN: William & Mary at Virginia

9pm ESPN2: Marshall at Boise St.

10pm Pac-12: Sacramento St. at Arizona St.

I moved Marshall at Boise St. over here based on what has already (not) been moved.  The Mountain West's weeknight schedule comes out in early April and a limited number of Boise St. games can move.  With ESPN being the rightsholder for Boise St. home games, to me, this seems like a logical fit.

EDIT (2/22/19): To account for the possibility of UFC PPV prelims on ESPN, I made the following changes:

• West Virginia at Missouri was moved from 9pm ESPN to 12pm SEC Network
• Murray St. at Georgia stays at 12pm, but moves to SEC Network Alternate
• BYU at Tennessee moves from 6pm ESPN to 7pm ESPN2
• San Diego St. at UCLA moves from 7pm ESPN2 to 5pm Pac-12 Networks
• Northern Colorado at Washington St. stays at 5pm, but is only shown on linear TV on Pac-12 Networks' Washington.
• California at Washington moved up 30 minutes from 10:30pm to 10pm and moves from ESPN2 to ESPN.

Here's the deal: If the game isn't listed, assume it will be streamed by whatever the home conference's streaming arrangements are (ESPN3, ESPN+, Stadium online, etc.)

Saturday

12pm ABC: Syracuse at Maryland

12pm FOX: Army at Michigan

12pm ESPN: Buffalo at Penn St.

12pm ESPN2: USF at Georgia Tech

12pm FS1: UTSA at Baylor

12pm ESPNU: Old Dominion at Virginia Tech

12pm FSN: Coastal Carolina at Kansas

12:30pm ACCN: Ohio at Pittsburgh

3:30pm ABC: Cincinnati at Ohio St.

3:30pm CBS:  Arkansas at Ole Miss

3:30pm ESPN2: New Mexico St. at Alabama

3:30pm ESPNU: Illinois at Connecticut

7pm CBSSN: Minnesota at Fresno St.

7pm FOX PPV: South Dakota at Oklahoma

7:30pm ESPNU: Southern Miss at Mississippi St.

7:30pm SEC: Tulane at Auburn
7:30pm SEC Alt: UT Martin at Florida

7:30pm ACCN: UL-Monroe at Florida St.

7:30pm BTN: Vanderbilt at Purdue
7:30pm BTN: Central Michigan at Wisconsin
7:30pm Stadium: Western Kentucky at FIU

8pm ABC: Texas A&M at Clemson

8pm FOX: Stanford at USC

8pm Pac-12: Northern Illinois at Utah
8pm FSN: McNeese at Oklahoma St.
8pm FS2: UTEP at Texas Tech

10pm ESPN: California at Washington

10pm FS1: Nebraska at Colorado

10:30pm CBSSN: Oregon St. at Hawai'i

11pm Pac-12: Northern Arizona at Arizona

So what I don't know is whether the ACC Network will have alternate feeds for football games or not.  My assumption right now is that they will not because they allowed for streaming of games previously compared to the SEC, who did not.

2019 Week 1 Early Season CFB TV Guesses

Weeks 2 & 3 will be out in the near future. There will be game date adjustments throughout the spring. Do not take these as set in stone. Final TV announcements will happen in May & June.

Known items for other sports that week

• ESPN2 has US Open tennis all day on Saturday and should have it on Thursday & Friday nights.
• FS1 has a MLB game at 4pm ET.  The Phillies originally listed the game at 6pm ET but it has been adjusted per the MLB website.  No MLB games will air on FOX's broadcast network.
• No FIFA match window except for Labor Day.
• FOX has a Premier Boxing Champions card on Sunday.  Time of the card is not known.
• From work by FBSchedules.com requesting the game contract, the Miami vs. Florida game will start no earlier than 6pm Eastern.
• MAC games appear to remain available to air on CBS Sports Network as a couple games were scheduled to air there when the conference's schedule was announced.

Unknown at this time

• No football games have yet been moved to Sunday evening.  No game has been set aside for ESPN Sunday Night Baseball, but I expect one to be.  Certainly possible for a game to air on ABC on Sunday night.
• Is CBS still sublicensing two SEC games from ESPN?  My assumption is that another agreement will be made.  Even if the games coming from ESPN to CBS aren't the top choice like they are for the weeks CBS owns their own selections, they still end up with quality games.
