Football Schedules
- College Football Schedule (FBS only)
- FCS Schedule (FCS only)
- College Football TV Schedule (FBS and FCS)
Changes I would make to TV arrangements:
ESPN: Airs ASU-TAMU at noon instead of Oregon-OKST, airs Alabama-Kentucky at 7:30 instead of Tennessee-Georgia Tech
ABC: Airs Tennessee-Georgia Tech at noon instead of ASU-TAMU, airs OSU-Texas at 3:30 instead of 7:30, airs Oregon-OKST at 7:30 instead of OSU-Texas.
ABC needs to cut back on how much they show SEC-controlled games outside the 3:30 slot.
