College Football TV Schedule (FBS and FCS)
There is an outside chance that Big 12 could be on FOX Big Noon Saturday Week 5 September 27th with either Arizona-Iowa State or Utah-West Virginia.
Following will be a mock Big Ten schedule for week 5 if Big 12 is on FOX Big Noon Saturday again this is only a mock schedule.
Indiana-Iowa Noon-BTN
Rutgers-Minnesota Noon-FS1
UCLA-Northwestern Noon-Peacock
USC-Illinois 3:30PM-CBS
Ohio State-Washington 4:00PM-FOX
Oregon at Penn State 7:30PM-NBC
Keep in mind this happen in week 12 last year with Penn State-Purdue on CBS at 3:30PM, Nebraska-USC on FOX at 4:00PM & Utah-Colorado on FOX Big Noon Saturday.
What’s your point?
Illininoles97 With Ohio State as #1 team I am confident FOX can work something out that Buckeyes are playing in Seattle.
Should Big Ten have both games on regular TV at same time slot. BTN, FS1 & Peacock are not allowed to compete.
