CFB TV Guesses for 2020 Week 9 (10/31/20)

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

I have done my best to list what TV windows are out there. Every listing service has a little different schedule for these networks. It is also possible that a window could be eliminated or the time of a window could shift slightly to accommodate a network's needs.

Pac-12 will be added with next week's guesses. Maybe the MAC too.

Considerations (you might want to read these instead of skipping past them)
* I dropped the late 10:15pm ESPN window
* SEC games had their TV destinations set in advance for this week. Check the schedule for the week to see where they have been set. 
* I gave ESPN top pick of Big 12 and Big Ten for Saturday games.
* 7pm ACC RSN window could move to 12pm again as it did on 10/24.
* I get the feeling that ESPN will try to use one of Notre Dame's ACC games each season and earmark it for ACCN, so this is the week I can see them trying it.

What is the status on Big 12 games on ESPN+? This week looks like one that may try to move toward that contract. I don't know what they are doing in this condensed season.

Do you think with the condensed schedule that Fox will try and have a night game each Saturday to go against ABC?? Would seem like a good time to do so.

A shame the mountain west wouldn't go to fox ota this year :(

I really don't know either

I believe they are scheduled to have boxing on a couple Saturday nights on the broadcast network.

Matt Sarzyniak said...

They were never guaranteed to have games on their broadcast network. They were with CBS. Maybe that's where the concern should lie.

Matt, FSU at LOUISVILLE is'nt on at&t rocky mountain network this saturday ?????? 12 est. i'm in Denver. what are they showing ?

Matt Sarzyniak said...

Couple questions.

1) If you're looking at my site, did you skip over the sentences at the beginning of the RSN listings?

"Please understand that listing services are not updating on a timely basis. More RSNs may be added closer to the game date."

2) Did you hit the guide button on your TV receiver to confirm that? If not, check that & it also may tell you what the channel is airing instead.

I'll verify it for you & the masses later tonight.

Congrats. The ACC published their RSN lists for 10/24. AT&T Rocky Mountain is on the lists, so I've updated mine.
