CFB TV Guesses for 2025 Week 10 (11/1/2025)

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:

* ABC's mid-afternoon SEC window is already selected.
* NBC will have two Big Ten games bookending their Breeders Cup coverage.
* FOX's primetime window will depend on if they have a World Series game.  Expect to be slotted so they can either air it on FOX or FS1.
* BTN has two games but none in the noon slot.  Might be a byproduct of NBC carrying a game at noon.
* No SEC Network early game this week with only one early game available, and its only available for ABC or ESPN.
* The CW's ACC window is later in the day which opens it up for Stanford to host on the network.
* Games slotted for time or a TV network family, but not both:
  • Fresno State at Boise State (TBA, FOX Sports)
  • Jackson State at Florida A&M (7pm, ESPN linear nets or ESPN+)
  • SEC game slots
    • Vanderbilt at Texas (12pm, ABC or ESPN)
    • Mississippi State at Arkansas (mid-afternoon)
    • All other games can air mid-afternoon or evening)
* I have FOX, CBS, then NBC's two selections for the Big Ten.
* With the Big 12, I have ESPN (Arizona State at Iowa State) ahead of FOX (Cincinnati at Utah).
* I had trouble placing the ACC games, along with Navy and North Texas.  Felt that the American's game deserves ESPN2.  As much as I didn't want to toss Georgia Tech to ACC Network, I felt that would be a better choice than ESPNU.

  1. Hopefully the Michigan State Gophers game is hopefully on anything but Big Ten Network on November 1st!

  2. Michigan has that carve out with the league that prohibits Michigan having to play at night after Daylight Savings Time ends. Considering DST ends early Sunday morning after this game, I think BTN will seek to have Michigan in prime time over the Gophers/Spartans.

    1. I am hoping that the Michigan State Gophers game is on Fox FS one or NBC!
