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.
ReplyDeleteCorrect. Don't need to. See link in first sentence of post.
DeleteAny chance Clemson/So Car get one of the 3:30 later time slots?
ReplyDeleteMaybe ESPN at 3:30pm. Wouldn't expect it in primetime unless its on ACCN.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteIf 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.
ReplyDeleteIncluding Vandy, who lost to 2-8 Georgia State.
