CFB TV Guesses for 2023 Week 6 (10/7/23)

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.

Instead of cluttering up these posts even more, I'll try to keep track of the unique conference TV arrangements in a separate post.  

A few notes and considerations:

* These games either have been selected by a TV partner or have a specific start times as an option:

• Purdue at Iowa: 3:30pm, 4pm or 7:30pm ET (homecoming)
• Maryland at Ohio State: 12pm, 3:30pm or 4pm ET (homecoming)
• Rutgers at Wisconsin: 12pm, 3:30pm or 4pm ET (homecoming)
• Fresno State at Wyoming: FOX, FS1 or FS2
• Arizona at USC: ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU
• Oklahoma vs. Texas: ABC at 12pm or 3:30pm ET
• Howard at Northwestern: 3pm ET (homecoming)

* UMass is supposed to have one game per season on ESPN's linear TV channels.  This appears to be the best option for the rest of the season.

* Listings have no games on FS1.  Suppose its possible that the 8pm game could move over to FS1 if FOX was to carry an ALDS game.  Either way, FS2 has a game window tentatively scheduled for 9:30pm ET.

* ACC Network lists the game windows but I think there's a good reason to drop the noon window to get other games on ESPN & ESPN2. 

* Some listing services show three Pac-12 Network games. I can make a case for only two being needed. If only two are needed, bring back that third ACC Network window and reconfigure things.

* If a six day hold were to be used, I look to the ACC for the place to use it.
