CFB TV Guesses for 2023 Week 13 (11/21/23-11/25/23)

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:

* Last selections for the Pac-12 (as 12) for now, and further changes coming for the Big 12, Big Ten and SEC next season.
* I wrote a small series of posts on X this morning regarding the Big 12 game count for ABC/ESPN.  Have a read of it, please.
* The Pac-12 contract is a bit more strict about concurrent night games, but there's precedent from 2017 where FOX aired the Apple Cup at the same time as Notre Dame at Stanford.  So its a possibility to flip "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate" (the name given to the Georgia-Georgia Tech rivalry) and the Apple Cup.
* California at UCLA was preselected as an ABC/ESPN game to be slotted anywhere on ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU. Fresno State at San Diego State belongs to FOX Sports.
* NBC does not have a primetime Big Ten game on Saturday night.  They have a night game on Friday already set
* To get to the AAC minimum of 40 across ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU, I had to choose three AAC games to air (pretty sure those NFL Network and ESPNEWS games can't be counted).  Navy at SMU wasn't a hard choice since it could be part of the conference title game picture.  Wasn't easy after that.  At least South Florida could be working towards bowl eligibility.
* I did get creative with the ACC and deleted the early window so I could find a place for North Carolina at NC State on ESPN. 
* ESPN's website already has the C-USA games for this week on ESPN+, so they were disregarded and also not listed amongst the guesses for streaming.

  1. You left out Maryland at Rutgers for 11/25. The Scarlet Knights need 1 more win to be bowl-eligible and their season finale might be their best chance.
