CFB TV Confirmations for 2024 Week 4 (9/21/24)

This post will be updated as announcements come out for start times for Week 4 (9/21/24) 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.

All times Eastern

SEC six day decisions for 3:30pm ABC, 3:30pm ESPN/ESPN2 or 4:15pm SECN
Arkansas at Auburn
Vanderbilt at Missouri
UCLA at LSU

I don't know if the 45 minute difference between the SECN window and the other two constitutes a hold being used.  All three are in mid-afternoon windows.  I assume it doesn't.
