CFB TV Guesses for 2020 Week 2 (9/10/20-9/12/20)

This is going to be a mess.

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

I have very little idea what TV windows are out there. Every listing service has a little different schedule for these networks. I can tell you that ESPN plans for the US Open women's final to be contested in mid-afternoon. FOX & FS1 also intend to have evening MLB.  

Also, it appears that the Big 12 non-conference games being played will NOT be held as member retained games, but used to beef up the national TV packages for ESPN & FOX.

I'm also aware that Week 3 could end up being announced on Monday too, but I'm going to hold off on trying to guess those.

Thursday
7:30pm ACCN: UAB at Miami (FL)

Saturday
12pm FOX: SMU at TCU
12pm ESPN: Louisiana at Iowa State
12pm ESPN2: Coastal Carolina at Kansas

Let's put it this way: I'll do this as long as they continue to have games on a schedule.

Rolling in the Big 12 member retained games into the existing contracts makes sense for everybody but OU as ESPN owns them. Though, how would that work for OU and Sinclair? That PPV game is used to write that big tier 3 check.

I assume it was agreed to by all parties if accurate and would assume there might be a rebate coming to the rightsholder since there would be no football game involved in 2020-21.
