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:
* Several games have either had their start time range locked in or were selected in advance by a network family, but without a game time set:
- Michigan State at Rutgers (12pm)
- Illinois at Maryland (12pm, 3:30pm or 4pm)
- UMass at Penn State (3:30pm)
- Boise State at Colorado State (FOX Sports)
* CBS has a SEC doubleheader at 12pm & 3:30pm. The 3:30pm game is the top choice for the conference, but ESPN gets a pair of selections before CBS chooses their 12pm game.
* NBC's Big Ten night game moves up to 3:30pm again due to a Notre Dame night game. They also have a noon Peacock exclusive.
* ESPN does not have a late evening window. They have a Top Rank boxing card instead. They do have a weeknight Pac-12 game also (Stanford at Colorado).
* CBSSN has a 12 day selection for the MAC.
* I deleted one SECN window since there's only six games for the conference this week and CBS has an extra game compared to most other weeks
* ACCN only has two windows scheduled, 3:30pm & 8pm.
* For selection order purposes, I gave FOX Sports the top Big Ten and Big 12 choices. It was revealed by Jon Wilner of Bay Area News Group that ESPN has the top Pac-12 choice.

Would it make more sense for FOX to air Iowa at Wisconsin in prime time since NBC is airing Indiana at Michigan at 3:30pm? It allows the Big Ten to have an over the air game in each time slot.
Also, has Kentucky football ever had a home game on CBS? I was thinking that this might be the week it happens (just have ESPN take Auburn-LSU instead). I'm sure the noon game is a good chance as well although they could have also hosted Georgia or Florida when they were good in the past.
Re Kentucky home games on CBS - just last season vs Georgia. Also in 2018 vs Georgia. Had 3 on CBS in 2007 when they had weeks in the top ten.
I think they'd flip flop the Cuse / Noles game at Noon with the ranked v ranked Miami @ UNC matchup or 3:30pm.
On your schedule prediction, you predict that the Oregon-Washington game will be the primetime game on ABC. This would be played concurrently with the USC-Notre Dame matchup. I would not be surprised if ABC decided to have the Oregon-Washington game at 3:30 ET to not conflict with the USC-Notre Dame game (This is similar to what ABC did 3 weeks ago with moving the Colorado-Oregon game to the afternoon so that it would not conflict with the Ohio State-Notre Dame game.) I think the 7:30 ET game would be either Miami-UNC or Syracuse-Florida State.
I think we see our first six-day hold this week for the SEC. The Missouri-LSU, Alabama-A&M and Kentucky-Georgia games this weekend could all shuffle the picks, plus CBS having two games this week makes it even more likely in my view.
That said, it seems to me like CBS is going to get stuck with Florida-South Carolina for their noon game. CBS get first pick, then ESPN knows CBS can’t pick Alabama or Georgia, so ESPN picks whoever of LSU-Auburn, A&M-Tennessee and Missouri-Kentucky that CBS didn’t pick with their two selections, and CBS then has to either pick Florida-South Carolina or give up a better Alabama or Georgia game later in the season.
(Unless the noon game doesn't count against the five-game limit, which I believe it does.)
Yes, the noon game counts as appearances for both competing schools.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Oregon at Washington be a Mcafee telecast removing a ESPN2 window
If it's at 3:30, I can see that. ESPN2 does have a late evening Big Sky game so that might not be as easy to do in primetime.
