CFB TV Guesses for 2026 Week 8 (10/24/2026) & American for Friday 11/27/26

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 and six day holds used in a separate post.  

A few notes and considerations:

* Why the need to make choices for Black Friday with the American? Four games were set for the possibility of moving from Saturday 11/28 to Friday 11/27 for a pair of openings on ESPN at 12pm & 3:30pm ET:

• Tulsa at UTSA
• Temple at Memphis
• Florida Atlantic at East Carolina
• Tulane at South Florida

* FOX doesn't have an evening game due to the World Series

* No early SECN window as only one game has been reserved for that time slot.

* ACCN also doesn't have a planned window at noon ET.

* CBSSN is open at noon. It should be used for a MAC selection.

* Games already set for time or TV network family, but not both:

• Kansas State at Arizona State (TBA, ABC/ESPN networks)
• Iowa at Minnesota (Between 3pm and 8pm, TBA)
• Michigan State at UCLA (Between 3pm and 8pm, TBA)
• LSU at Auburn (12pm, ABC or ESPN)
• Other SEC game slots:
• Afternoon: Tennessee at South Carolina
• Evening: Vanderbilt at Kentucky
• Afternoon or evening: Texas A&M at Alabama, Ole Miss at Texas, Oklahoma at Mississippi State

* In terms of Big Ten order, I went FOX, CBS and NBC.  It would not surprise me to see a six day hold used by FOX to wait on Indiana-Michigan or USC-Wisconsin.  

* For the Big 12, I gave ESPN the top choice, and then gave FOX two straight.
