FOOTBALL SCHEDULES
- College Football Schedule (FBS)
- College Football TV Schedule (FBS & FCS)
I am very flexible what game CBS will show on Week 9 however I would like Big Ten & CBS to reserve Week 10 Ohio State at Penn State to have best Big Ten on CBS game of 2024.
OSU-PSU will be taken by Fox.
I fully agree with you Richard on Ohio State-Penn State will be taken by FOX Big Noon Saturday & I really like CBS to take My Michigan team when they host Oregon at Big House & out of your two educated guess I like NBC to grab UCLA-Nebraska & USC-Washington would be a nice late evening fit & will be televised on FS1, BTN or Peacock.
Notre Dame vs. Navy is on a six-day hold.
Gonna be about 99.999999% sure that Ohio State-Penn State will be the Big Noon game on FOX. probably explains why FOX traded the Ohio State-Oregon game with NBC to get that one. CBS will likely get the Oregon-Michigan game at 3:30 then USC-Washington on NBC. Plus FOIX wants the extra advertising money given it’s three days before the election.
Fox sorry.
I agree that Fox will put OSU-PSU on Big Noon but I was uncertain on who would get UO@UMich, but since the BTN gets UMich-MSU at night in week 9, CBS probably does have 2nd pick in week 10 and thus UO@UMich (because UMich is willing to play only 2 home games at night). However, NBC may pick Wisconsin-Iowa or Nebraska-UCLA over USC-Washington, especially if any of those schools are ranked as an unranked USC team just isn’t a very big TV draw.
BTW, all PSU, Wisconsin, and UMich games will get extra revenue from political ads these few weeks before the election (also any games featuring the GA, NC, AZ, and NV schools).
Hank Loranger, Richard, Terrence Shields, Dan Rakow, Sky Scarlet,
How are the week 7 SEC-Tigers 13th, so phenominal, much better, than the 9th Spot SEC-MS Rebels ?
Winning @ home, w/ both teams scoring 55 points total, requiring OT, =ing very matched teams who merit switching places 13th to 9th & 9th to 13th @ The most generous.
Please debate me with Empirical evidence how Associated Press 16th for Rebels & most important, 8th for Tigers is not Sports Social Influencer Bias.
“Because they’re LA State” is not evidence of an 8th place selection.
Excellent to hear from you Hank welcome back buddy.
Sky Scarlet There is definately a lot to find out about this subject. I like all the points you made
I am looking forward to CBS showing Illinois Fighting Illini back to back hosting Michigan in Champaign this Saturday & heading to Great Northwest at Oregon following Saturday.
Go Fighting Illini!!!
