CFB TV Guesses for 2025 Week 9 (10/25/2025)

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:

* FOX will not have a primetime window due to World Series Game 2.
* Games slotted for a start time or a TV network, but not both:
  • San Diego State at Fresno State (TBA, FOX Sports)
  • North Dakota State at South Dakota State (TBA, ESPN linear TV nets)
  • Rutgers at Purdue (12pm, TBA)
  • Alabama A&M vs. Alabama State (3:30pm, ESPN linear TV or ESPN+)
  • SEC game slots
    • Early only: Auburn at Arkansas & Ole Miss at Oklahoma
    • Evening only: Tennessee at Kentucky
    • Everything else can flex between afternoon and evening
* I went with FOX having the top pick for the Big Ten, followed by NBC and CBS. Struggled a little due to several Week 7 Big Ten results.  Michigan can certainly be a ratings juggernaut, but I went with UCLA at Indiana at the top.  I realize this is also Michigan State's 3rd night game at home based on how I ordered things too, but I don't think I'd see how NBC would pass up another opportunity at the Wolverines.
* For the Big 12, I had ESPN picking BYU at Iowa State first, then Colorado at Utah.  I had FOX coming in 3rd with Houston at Arizona State.
* FS1 only listed three telecast windows, which indicates that FOX Sports will only carry one Big 12 game since they don't have a late evening broadcast network window planned.  
* North Dakota State at South Dakota State looks like it could be No. 1 vs. No. 2 in FCS.  I'd love to get it to ESPN2, but I fear its going to be stuck on ESPNU.
* We should receive the game ESPN will air from the American on Black Friday.  Despite the loss this past Friday for the Mean Green, I'd expect Temple at North Texas to be moved.
