The ESPN Thursday night schedule is less set than the Friday night schedule. Some of this has to do with the forthcoming switch by FOX to FOX Sports 1, who will have the option to select some of these Pac-12 & Big 12 games listed below.
8/29: North Carolina at South Carolina & Ole Miss at Vanderbilt (SEC)
9/5:
9/12: TCU at Texas Tech or TBA (likely Big 12)
9/19: Clemson at NC State (ACC)
9/26: Virginia Tech at Georgia Tech (ACC)
10/3: Texas at Iowa St. OR UCLA at Utah (Big 12 or Pac-12)
10/10: Rutgers at Louisville (American)
10/17: Miami (FL) at North Carolina (ACC)
10/24: Kentucky at Mississippi St. (SEC)
10/31: USF at Houston (American)
11/7: Oklahoma at Baylor OR Oregon at Stanford (Big 12 or Pac-12)
11/14: Georgia Tech at Clemson (ACC)
11/21: Rutgers at UCF (American)
11/28: Ole Miss at Mississippi St. (SEC)
12/5: Louisville at Cincinnati (American)
ESPNU also has five Thursday night games. Four from the Sun Belt and one from the MWC. There will also be some MEAC and SWAC games in the mix to fill out that channel's Thursday schedule.
I don't think you'll see any doubleheaders on ESPN on Thursdays besides the opening weekend, so the Arizona St. at Washington St. game on 10/31 will probably end up on FOX Sports 1. The same goes for the Thanksgiving game involving Texas Tech & Texas.
So who ends up on 9/5? I thought Houston at Temple was likely because there was no NFL schedule announcement until last week. It also happens to be the opening night of the NFL season, so it could be a night ESPN is trying to stay away from, though they are scheduling against the Thanksgiving night NFL game along with all the other Thursday night NFL games. I don't think its going to be the Sacramento St.-Arizona St. game. Then again, F/X ended up televising Portland St. at Washington last year early in the year. Maybe ESPN gets stuck with it and puts it on ESPNU.
The only other conference I would consider targeting for 9/5 is the Big Ten, but they did move a couple games to 8/30, presumably at least one or both to air on BTN.
So who do you think ends up on 9/5? Your choices are here.

ESPN's Friday night schedule
ESPN's main Friday night schedule (ie. excluding Black Friday, where there's multiple games during the day) seems to be close to taking shape. Here it is:
8/30: Texas Tech at SMU (American)
9/6: Wake Forest at Boston College (ACC)
9/13: Air Force at Boise St. (MWC)
9/20: Boise St. at Fresno St. (MWC)
9/27: Utah St. at San Jose St. (MWC)
10/4: Nevada at San Diego St. (MWC)
10/11: Temple at Cincinnati (American)
10/18: UCF at Louisville (American)**
10/25: Boise St. at BYU (BYU)
11/1:
11/8: Louisville at Cincinnati (American)**
11/15:
11/22: Navy at San Jose St.*
11/29: Black Friday
12/6: MAC Championship*
* Airs on ESPN2
** Either ESPN or ESPN2
The 11/1 & 11/15 games appear to be a pair of Pac-12 games. USC at Oregon St. is scheduled for 11/1 and Washington at UCLA is on 11/15. There is also one ESPNU Friday game currently scheduled and that is the Air Force at New Mexico game on 11/8.
ESPN is also listing the Wake Forest-Boston College and Temple-Cincinnati games as airing on ESPN or ESPN2. Their NASCAR press release says the Nationwide race those evenings will air on ESPN2, so I think the games will air on ESPN unless something changes.
There are a handful of other games scheduled for Fridays during the season currently not set for television, again excluding Black Friday. Here's the games between FBS schools:
8/30: FAU at Miami (FL) - ESPNU or ESPN3
8/30: Western Michigan at Michigan St. - I think this ends up airing on BTN
9/27: Middle Tennessee at BYU - ESPN2 or ESPNU
10/4: BYU at Utah St. - I lean towards CBS Sports Network since ESPN didn't take this one initially
8/30: Texas Tech at SMU (American)
9/6: Wake Forest at Boston College (ACC)
9/13: Air Force at Boise St. (MWC)
9/20: Boise St. at Fresno St. (MWC)
9/27: Utah St. at San Jose St. (MWC)
10/4: Nevada at San Diego St. (MWC)
10/11: Temple at Cincinnati (American)
10/18: UCF at Louisville (American)**
10/25: Boise St. at BYU (BYU)
11/1:
11/8: Louisville at Cincinnati (American)**
11/15:
11/22: Navy at San Jose St.*
11/29: Black Friday

Realigning your TV now that your school is changing conferences
So your school has elected to move to a new conference. You might be asking yourself "Where can I find my team this season" (maybe you aren't, but humor me). Here's where you need to look.
ACC: Incoming for new football members Syracuse & Pittsburgh. ABC and ESPN Networks will handle the bulk of the content on a national basis, so not much has changed for those two schools. Raycom handles a syndicated package of football games that airs at 12:30pm ET every week called the ACC Network. Think of it like the Big East Network's main 12pm game. There's also a 3pm ET game most weeks that airs on regional cable networks like FOX Sports South, NESN and Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic. RSNs like SportsNet New York, MSG, MSG Plus and ROOT Sports Pittsburgh could end up airing those games. Keep an eye out on the ACC spring meetings and media days as more information re: the RSN in your area could be revealed.
The regional games also air on ESPN3/WatchESPN, and the 12:30pm game is also streamed at the ACC website.
After the 1st three weeks of the season, the conference has its television selections made 12 days before kickoff. There are also four options that ESPN can use to determine kickoff times as little as six days beforehand.
Big East: Four new members of the conference are coming in from Conference USA. ESPN is the primary rights holder and there will be games on ABC, ESPN cable networks and ESPN3. The last year of the football contract stays intact, you'll also have a syndication package known as the Big East Network that ESPN manages. The games are carried in local markets of all the schools plus some surrounding areas and two RSNs that have carried the games in prior years include SNY & MASN.
Unlike C-USA, many Saturday kickoff times are determined 12 days in advance by television. ESPN has at least 1-2 options to set kickoff times as little as six days in advance.
C-USA: Welcoming schools from the WAC, Sun Belt, FCS (Old Dominion is considered part of the TV package this year, even though they are a transitioning school)...its a melting pot. FOX Sports is the primary C-USA television partner, with games expected to air on FOX Sports 1 and FSN. I know that FSN isn't in every market, particularly those Old Dominion fans, so keep an eye out on that and hope that most C-USA games air on FOX Sports 1. CBS Sports Network also has a contract with the conference for at least 15 football games. There are also some regional games airing on CSS, Comcast SportsNet Houston and probably some other cable based RSNs in the conference's footprint.
If previous seasons are an indicator, some kickoff times will be set before the season starts. CBS Sports Network and the regional partners were usually firm in setting their times in advance, while FOX Sports was more flexible with their Saturday times as they were scheduling games around Big 12 and Pac-12 games.
MWC: For San Jose St. and Utah St. (and I guess for Boise St. and San Diego St. as partial refresher), CBS Sports Network is considered the primary rightsholder and ESPN will also have rights to pick up football games. With the new deals, I'm a little in the dark as to whether there will be selections by either network during the season. It is known that ESPN will have the rights to Boise St. home games and that CBS Sports Network will be able to choose eight games to air, excluding Boise St. home games (though there is an exception to that rule), in a "game draft" of sorts.
Sun Belt: For the Georgia St. and Texas St. fans, ESPN is the primary rightsholder and they tend to select nearly all of their telecasts before the season starts, often as weeknight telecasts. There will probably be some ESPN3 games selected during the year, and the Sun Belt Network package co-managed by Comcast & Cox remains intact. Most Sun Belt kickoff times are set before the season starts and they generally do not change, even for ESPN3 games.
New Mexico St. and Idaho: You guys are on your own for this year, so you have some freedom to choose who should air your games and, for the most part since neither of you appear to be tied to a network, when your games will kick off. New Mexico St. is in a better position because they have their AggieVision production facilities to use for home games, so they may be able to strike a deal to have those carried via out-of-market services like ESPN3, ESPN Game Plan or FOX Sports Go.

Early Season CFB TV Schedule Guesses
Didn't want to wait around for the MWC to finish its schedule. Also didn't want to wait for the NFL schedule on April 16th. Here's what I'm thinking for the 1st three weeks of the 2013 CFB season when it comes to TV scheduling. I don't plan on revising at this point.

Week Two CFB Guesses
* My thought on Houston-Temple being a Thursday night game is that we're waiting for final confirmation on the NFL schedule. The Eagles aren't expected to play the opening Thursday night, but ESPN and the conference may be waiting for the NFL to give the go-ahead to officially set the date.
* ABC has NASCAR in the evening on Saturday, so there will not be a primetime game. Notre Dame-Michigan is expected to air in primetime on ESPN.

Week One CFB Guesses
I figure if they can keep scheduling, I can keep writing these articles guessing their TV decisions for the early season. Revision of week one now that we know the full Big East schedule, a few weeknight schedule adjustments, some MWC games will air on ESPN networks and the creation of a network known as FOX Sports 1. I'm also assuming that ESPN2 will be unavailable on Thursday & Friday due to US Open tennis commitments, along with Saturday night for NASCAR Nationwide Series racing.
All times Eastern. If a game isn't listed, assume a regional telecast, web video from the school or ESPN3.
