FOOTBALL SCHEDULES
- College Football Schedule (FBS)
- College Football TV Schedule (FBS & FCS)
Fall Out Boy will be singing “Here Comes Saturday Noon” NBC will have Noon Big Ten game with Notre Dame vs Florida State occupying Big Ten regular time slot & FOX probably will have Big Ten evening game & CBS remains the same with it’s 3:30PM ET Big Ten game.
Either Colorado at Texas Tech or Fresno State at Air Force would be FOX choices for Big Noon Saturday plus it would be appropriate to have Air Force on Veterans Day weekend.
I like to credit Big Ten to allow time to figure out what games would be best for them in Week 11 & I am fully flexible on what Big Ten game that CBS will show.
Here is My timetable for Week 11
Bowling Green at Central Michigan ESPN2 Tuesday evening
Northern Illinois at Western Michigan ESPN2 Wednesday evening
Appiachian State at Coastal Carolina ESPN Thursday evening
Iowa at UCLA FOX Friday evening
Syracuse a Boston College The CW Noon
Michigan at Indiana CBS 3:30PM
Washington at Penn State Peacock 8:00PM
BYU at Utah 10:15PM ESPN
Syracuse at Boston College
Florida vs Texas is headed for the Early Afternoon, Georgia vs. Ole Miss is also headed in the Afternoon and Alabama vs. LSU is in Primetime on ABC.
I hope in the future BYU-Utah gets restored to its traditional Thanksgiving weekend slot.
Having a few favorite Thanksgiving weekend games is excellent however having one hundred ideas for Thanksgiving weekend games is not excellent.
Z-Man you need to enjoy College Football instead of making things up that you have no control over it & I really like you very much & you need to take it easy my Friend.
The B12 (TV partners ESPN and Fox) seem to want to spread the bigger B12 games (including rivalry games) all over the season calendar.
Every FBS conference should be embracing Thanksgiving week as rivalry week. Especially in the G5.
I want fans of every FBS team to look forward every year to the big rivalry game at the end of the season, though I’ve proposed rotations for some of the Thanksgiving weekend games.
Again I like Northwestern-Illinois, Michigan-Ohio State, Arizona State-Arizona & Georgia-Georgia Tech when it comes to rivalries on Thanksgiving.
For teams that I really like for example Oklahoma State, Syracuse, Northern Illinois & Bowling Green State hope you do not mind me being more flexible who they get to play on Thanksgiving weekend pardon me for not having same mantality like you have when come CFB rivalries on Thanksgiving weekend although I am a fan of conference games however bottom line is enjoy watching the game.
Richard,
True, we’ll c if these games received high, mediocre or low ratings during this realigned B16g12 season.
Each rivalry receives it’s own ‘place in the sun’ during this season. That could B engaging for football fans outside the new B16g12, or not.
No one in Bowling Green or Toledo wants that rivalry game during Thanksgiving Week. It didn’t draw well and the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving or on Black Friday, and it will never be on Thanksgiving Saturday the same day as Ohio State/Michigan. This past Saturday was the perfect day, time, and weather for that game. I personally think it should be the last Saturday in October before MACtion play going forward. The game should only be in November if its on a Saturday that isn’t the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend (if the MAC is ever allowed to play Saturday November games again).
Phil I fully agree with you Bowling Green-Toledo would be fantastic for last weekend in October courtesy of Northern Illinois Huskies & Bowling Green State Falcons Fan & speaking of NIU-BGSU that would be My dream Thanksgiving weekend CFB game.
Phil, ESPN exerts more influence than you think.
I went to BG and live in Toledo, I’m fully aware of how much influence ESPN has. Since midweek games became a thing in 2003 I’m sure BG/UT has been played on more weekdays or Black Friday afternoons than it has on Saturdays. Hence why I ended my last post saying if the MAC is ever allowed to play Saturday November games again. The fans and the local media want the game on a Saturday, I’m sure it won’t happen every year, we get lucky every now and again like this year. ESPN’s influence doesn’t changes the thoughts and opinions of the people in Northwest Ohio. Don’t worry though, with Toledo hosting on a Saturday this year I’m sure BG will get screwed and have to host a weeknight game when the two play next season
Z-Man please, please no arguments!
Also, starting next year CBS, Fox and NBC should rotate having first pick in the Big Ten all season along rather than every week.
CBS would have first pick throughout 2025, Fox in 2026, and NBC in 2027, thus when it is NBC’s turn to have first pick they can show UM-OSU at night. The cycle would repeat every three years.
Excellent news Z-Man thing I like about night games is that I am free to choose to watch any match up that & midday-early afternoon time slot however at 3:30PM time slot I like to watch Big Ten on CBS.
I find it both amusing and rich that Penn State fans are moaning and groaning about the Noon kickoff time for Ohio State. My guess is they are not very optimistic they can win unless they can have a 7:30 kickoff. Penn State should worry more about Franklin winning a big game regardless of the start time. Plus Noon games have tended to be better for Big ten teams in general. Maybe next year comprise and put the game at 3:30 for CBS. Guarantee you Ohio State does give two blanks what time that game starts. Plus most OSU fans prefer Noon.
Hank Loranger Main reason I have CBS at 3:30PM as My fourth favorite Big Ten team so I can have flexibility with kickoff times for Northwestern, Illinois & Michigan.
I am a fan NBC & FOX going head-to-head for Over The Air TV midday early time slot & Cable, Streaming & Satellite in evening & CBS having stand alone 3:30PM game for Big Ten Football week 11.
