CFB TV Guesses: 2024 Week 2


Initial guesses for 2024 Week 2 CFB.  If a game isn't listed, assume its a ESPN+, ACCNX/ESPN+, SEC+/ESPN+ or MW Network streaming exclusive.  Peacock exclusives will be listed due to the limited number of them.

I've also made a couple assumptions regarding the movement of games off Saturday to either Thursday or Friday.

Games listed in italics are confirmed for that time and TV network.

* FOX will have evening MLB
* ESPN's mid-afternoon window will have the US Open women's final
* I have no clue where Washington State or Oregon State home games will land.  I gave Texas Tech at Washington State to FS1.
* FOX Sports made their announcement that they would start carrying Friday night football on FOX broadcast network.  I know WWE Smackdown would still be carried by FOX networks through October.  I'm assuming that they'll agree to move the program to FS1.

Just what I needed, Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt for Michigan in back to back weeks

Has there been any update to the number of games that FOX has the rights to? The 32 games was before the addition of Oregon and Washington, and since FOX reportedly funded their addition, I assume we aren't going to 13 additional games just pushed to BTN.

Matt:

Why is the FOX window Friday at 10:30 Eastern. I thought they would have that game in primetime Eastern.

Thanks for doing your schedule. You're the best.

10:30 is still primetime. That said. I'm still unclear whether FOX will have Smackdown thru September or it moves to FS1.
