Here are the games already set for television and/or webcast.  Here are the known available telecast windows.

Through Week 11
* ESPN & FOX Sports share rights and first pick on the Big 12, Big Ten and Pac-12.  Based on the games selected and known selection orders, often provided from media member posts, here is what I believe were the 1st choice networks for each conference through the 10/19 selections by week number.

Things to know in advance
* The following games have had their network or network family set without a start time

• UTEP at UAB (ESPN3)
• Central Michigan at Ball St. (CBSSN)
• Wyoming at Utah St. (All ESPN platforms except ESPN+)
• New Mexico at Boise St. (All ESPN platforms except ESPN+)
• Air Force at Colorado St. (All ESPN platforms except ESPN+)

* The SEC had a couple games' start times set in advance of the 12 day selection period with the TV windows set aside for the remaining four games:

• 12pm CBS
• 12pm ESPN
• 3:30pm CBS
• 7pm ESPN

* When CBS a 12pm & 3:30pm doubleheader, the 12pm game is selected after CBS's 3:30pm game & two selection by ESPN (see those options above).  ESPN is allowed to show games at the same time as the 12pm CBS game as it is a non-exclusive window.
* There will not be a 12pm SEC Network window.

Decisions I made
* FOX supposedly has the top Big Ten pick on 11/16.  With ESPN taking the top selection for the Pac-12, I gave FOX the top Big 12 selection.
* I think its reasonable that Baylor at Oklahoma could be the FOX 12pm game as their best available game. Could be a slot for a six day hold if the concern is Baylor or Oklahoma losing on 11/9, which could put a Big Ten game on FOX at noon.

* I went with Indiana at Penn St. over Michigan St. at Michigan for FOX's top Big Ten pick due to Indiana being 7-2 headed into the game & PSU being undefeated. Will be curious to see if the Hoosiers end up being ranked coming into the game. Most of the schools ahead of them in the Receiving Votes area of the AP poll lost. To be honest, Indiana at Penn St. could hold up as the FOX 12pm game.
* FOX's Pac-12 selection, while not the first pick, still should get it a ranked team, plus it fulfills their broadcast network obligation to the conference.
* Alabama at Mississippi St. is going to be avoided by CBS at all costs.  At least I assume that.  I don't think the SEC Network selections already made for 4pm & 7:30pm would have been granted if CBS wasn't provided some assurance by ESPN that CBS wouldn't be "stuck" with using their final Alabama appearance on the Mississippi St. game, unless CBS intends to use their option to get a sixth Crimson Tide game.  A sixth game for a school on CBS is a rarely used provision that could be exercised, but I believe there's every intention for ESPN to take Alabama at Mississippi St.

* If LSU loses to Alabama, I think you could see CBS pull the trigger on taking Georgia at Auburn.  Would put Auburn at 4 CBS appearances, with the fifth likely for the Iron Bowl.
