CFB TV Guesses for 2021 Week 12 Saturday Selections (11/20/21)

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.

* The following games have been preselected by network groups but without a start time or TV network finalized:

• Harvard at Yale (ESPN Networks)
• Nebraska at Wisconsin (ABC, ESPN or ESPN2)
• New Mexico at Boise State (FOX, FS1 or FS2)

* ESPN2 has a Top Rank Boxing window from 7pm-9pm ET for PPV prelims.

* I'm not going to bother with the MAC midweek games.  Those will likely be set based on the results of this week's midweek games.

* There's an ESPNEWS window at 6pm ET

Notes

* Liberty needs a game on linear TV per its new TV deal and the Louisiana game makes sense.

* I gave top Big Ten choice to ESPN, top Big 12 choice to FOX Sports and top Pac-12 choice to ESPN.

* With UTSA still undefeated and UAB at 6-3 at this time, I think the ESPNEWS window could be for that game.
