CFB TV Confirmations for 2023 Week 5

This post will be updated as announcements come out for start times for 9/30/23 from the (mostly) twelve day selection process that most TV networks adhere to. Most conferences have the possibility of having all or part of their scheduled games held for a six day hold for the start time and/or the TV network. 

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.

Wasn't MSU @ Iowa "official" for 3:30 Peacock, how did that get changed?

Matt Sarzyniak said...

Because it wasn't and the writer who got the info didn't realize that selection orders could change.

Darrell McKown said...

Or NBC changed their minds and decided to put MSU-Iowa on NBC and Illinois-Purdue on Peacock.

I never understood how those games that McMurphy tweeted out were going to hold up, given that NBC wouldn't have selection priority every week.
