This post will be updated as announcements come out for start times for 10/8/22 from the twelve day selection process that most TV networks adhere to. Most conferences have the possibility of having all or part of their games held for a six day hold for the start time.
The list of available TV windows are based on media websites, TV listings and press releases. They can change based on the needs of the broadcaster or the conference.
Here's what I guessed based on the available openings (they will prove to be incorrect), along with the games that have already been set.
There's also a handful of rules that both conferences and TV networks have put into their agreements which affect these selections, which are updated weekly and can be found here.

Does the Utah vs ucla game count as a six day window (1 out of the 4) even though we know the time?
ReplyDeleteSince the time and network family remains 3:30pm ET somewhere in the FOX family, it is not a six day hold.
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last time ABC middle game not counting conference championship games middle game was at 4pm? What is the reason for this one?
ReplyDeleteThere was a 4:30pm middle game in 2021 for 9/11 observances at 12pm. 1st game started at 1pm instead.
ReplyDeleteMatt:
ReplyDeleteDo you have a running total of the ESPN/FOX first picks for B1G, P12 and B12?
thanks
