CFB TV Guesses for 2025 Week 6 (10/4/2025)

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: 

* It is expected that FOX will not have a mid-afternoon window due to the start of the AL Division Series, where affiliates show an opening for baseball currently.

* FS1 is currently scheduled to air the other ALDS game at 8pm ET.  They could air a game at 12pm ET as well, but at the moment they are scheduled to carry horse racing and just one college football game.

* I don't know if there's a plan for two BTN games at 12pm, but I think they'll need one based on the FS1 schedule.  I think they'll put an intraconference game alongside ULM at Northwestern wherever it is slotted.

* SEC Network only has a selection in the primetime.  The early window will not have an exclusive game.  Expect it to have a simulcast of the Kentucky-Georgia game wherever that game airs leading into the mid-afternoon game.

* The CW game is slotted a little later for 1pm ET due to their NASCAR Xfinity race not starting until 5pm ET.

* CUSA starts is mid-week schedule the following week.  This week they start to line up their games so there are no available games for ESPN to elevate.

* Games that are set for time or TV, but not both:

• ULM at Northwestern (TBA, 12pm or 3:30pm ET, homecoming game)
• Michigan State at Nebraska (TBA, 12pm or 3:30pm ET, homecoming game)
• Wisconsin at Michigan (TBA, 12pm or 3:30pm ET, homecoming game)
• Kentucky at Georgia (12pm, ABC or ESPN)
• Texas at Florida (afternoon or evening, ABC/ESPN nets)
• Vanderbilt at Alabama (afternoon or evening, ABC/ESPN nets)
• Mississippi State at Texas A&M (evening, ABC/ESPN nets)

* For the Big Ten, I have FOX choosing ahead of NBC, then CBS.  With the Big 12, I have ESPN at the top choosing Texas Tech at Houston, followed by FOX choosing Iowa State at Cincinnati. It would not surprise me if a six day hold were to be used on the Big 12.

* I considered putting Penn State at UCLA on BTN to satisfy Penn State's required intraconference appearance, but I think they'll have opportunities throughout their remaining schedule.

* I can see the possibility of a second screen experience for the primetime game in my view of the schedule, like a McAfee-cast on ESPNU for Miami at Florida State.  In that scenario, delete Eastern Michigan at Buffalo and move FAU at Rice to the mid-afternoon ESPNU slot.

All times Eastern

(EDIT: I swapped Wisconsin at Michigan & Minnesota at Ohio State from their original listing.  I had Wisconsin at Michigan as available for all time slots as a homecoming game per the original Big Ten early season selections. Michigan confirms they'll either have a noon or 3:30pm ET start).
