Here are the games already set for television and/or webcast. Here are the known available telecast windows. Final set of guesses for 2024.
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 or TV family, but not both
- Air Force at San Diego State (TBA, FOX Sports)
- SEC game slots
- Early: Tennessee at Vanderbilt
- Afternoon: Arkansas at Missouri
- All other games are can air in the afternoon or evening
- It would not surprise me to see the late ESPN2 window used for the FCS playoffs, assuming a school from the Mountain or Pacific time zones were to host. Otherwise I think the window is deleted.
- After FOX's choice of Michigan-Ohio State, I had NBC before CBS. I made the leap that they would see more value in taking the Notre Dame-USC game than Washington-Oregon with Notre Dame having their home games on NBC
- I gave FOX both top Big 12 opportunities this week. The large number of ACC games would push a prime game potentially down the schedule
- With the possibility of the C-USA title game participants playing for home field, or a spot in the game based on Friday's Sam Houston-Liberty result, I elevated Jacksonville State-WKU up to ESPNU.
- With only two BTN windows, I think the 3:30pm window will have two concurrent games to get the remaining three games in.

While you mention it in your notes, you don't include the Michigan-Ohio State game in your grid.
Correct. Don't need to. See link in first sentence of post.
Any chance Clemson/So Car get one of the 3:30 later time slots?
Maybe ESPN at 3:30pm. Wouldn't expect it in primetime unless its on ACCN.
I tend to think CBS has the second Big 10 selection this week. That list of projected NBC games that was leaked to McMurphy had Oregon-Washington on it, and I have to believe they would have been targeting USC-Notre Dame (largely for the reasons you mentioned) if they were picking second.
If Tennessee-Vanderbilt winds up on SECN all eight of their conference games will have been on SECN this year. Normally that's fair but after they beat Alabama I think that's absolutely disrespectful to them considering there's plenty of worse SEC teams including one that lost 41-17 at home to a MAC team and they got two ESPN games and an ABC game.
Including Vandy, who lost to 2-8 Georgia State.
