This is a revision to the original early season guesses for Week 2 . Revisions are in red and include strikethroughs for my changes. Will attempt articulate a few things.
Here's where you can find the full schedules on my site for 2023. If a game isn't listed in these guesses, assume its being streamed.
Thursday
7pm ACCN: Murray State at Louisville
Friday
8pm ESPN2: Houston at Rice
Saturday
* CBS came out with its NWSL schedule and has a telecast window at 12:30pm ET, so changed needed to happen to show one less Big Ten game on CBS.
* FS1 also has a 4pm ET MLB window, which triggered moving the Utah at Baylor game over to ESPN2 at 12pm ET. From there, I figured the SMU at Oklahoma game could end up with ESPN+. Oklahoma can have multiple ESPN+ games as they had their game vs. Baylor last year also on the streaming service in addition to their game vs. Kent State.
* Since I dropped Washington State at Colorado State from the Week 1 CBS 12pm window, the UCLA-San Diego State game seems like a reasonable make good. It does bump CBS into a nighttime Big Ten game. Is it a good Big Ten game? Not really.
* There's been some conjecture that the ACC RSN package may live on. I've added the package back for now. Assume that the game I've chosen ends up with ACC Network Extra/ESPN+ if the package is truly gone.

Which game is a better option? For the Big Ten, they're all mediocre at best.
That's unknown at this time
If CBS had to air a Big Ten primetime game, it's better to air a week where NBC is airing a Notre Dame game and not go head to head with them. I can also see them airing a noon ET game and FOX airing a 3:30pm game one or two weeks in 2023. There's going to be some flexibility this season before the FOX noon, CBS 3:30pm, NBC prime time starts in 2024. CBS has to fit in seven games somehow, Temple/Rutgers as one of them seems a waste. The Big Ten is going to want some 3:30pm ET games in 2023 somehow. After Week 2, CBS can't air any. So let NBC and FOX air some.
Florida/McNeese St?
That sentence at the top re of a game isn't listed, assume streaming like ESPN+.
I'm not required and I don't know
