CFB TV Guesses for 2024 Week 8 (10/19/24)

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:

• Games set for time, timeslots or TV, but not both
• UCLA at Rutgers (TBA, 12pm or mid-afternoon)
• Nebraska at Indiana, USC at Maryland and Iowa at Michigan State have full flexibility
• Notre Dame vs. Georgia Tech (TBA, ABC/ESPN nets)
• South Dakota State at North Dakota State (TBA, ESPN nets)
• East Carolina at Army West Point (TBA, ABC/ESPN nets)
• UNLV at Oregon State (3:30pm or 10:30pm, CW)
• Hawai'i at Washington State (3:30pm or 10:30pm, CW)
• Florida A&M at Jackson State (3;30pm, ESPN Nets or ESPN+)
• Alcorn State at Southern (7pm, ESPN Nets or ESPN+)
• SEC time slots for games
• Early
• South Carolina at Oklahoma
• Auburn at Missouri
• Night
• LSU at Arkansas
• All other SEC games are flexible between mid-afternoon and evening
• Losses by Alabama and Tennessee made it a bit easier to discern whether Alabama-Tennessee or Georgia-Texas would be in primetime.
• East Carolina at Army West Point is a game I'd consider for the noon ABC slot due the need to put an AAC game on ABC (Notre Dame vs. Navy will get that consideration as well) but I think Virginia at Clemson jumps them, along with Notre Dame vs. Georgia Tech.  ESPN loves to put ND on ABC when they can.
• CW has two slots to place their Pac-12 games.  I'm making the assumption that the "better" game will air early.
• Speaking of the CW, since their game is at noon ET, their choice of game is limited as they can't carry NC State at California or SMU at Stanford.  Since ESPN also confirmed that they would carry Notre Dame vs. Georgia Tech, the CW will have Virginia at Clemson or Miami (FL) at Louisville fall in their lap.  
• I had FOX choosing first this week, followed by CBS then NBC, for the Big Ten.  For the Big 12, I had ESPN choosing first.

Edit: I initially had Miami-Louisville on the CW, but it appears that they will not be carrying an ACC game on 10/19.
