This post will be updated as announcements come out for start times for Week 9 (10/26/24) 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.

So, am I correct that if the time is known but not the channel that is not considered a six-day hold? (e.g. ND v. Navy or OU at Ole Miss)
ReplyDeleteIn this case yes, but also because it's in the same network family. If the times were the same but one game is on CBS and the other is on ABC, it's a six day hold.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the clarification!
