FOOTBALL SCHEDULES
- College Football Schedule (FBS)
- College Football TV Schedule (FBS & FCS)
Nebraska at Indiana is a fantastic candidate for CBS.
We’ll have to see who gets the first and 2nd picks in the B10 this week. I expect UNL-IU and UMich-UIUC to be the first 2 games picked.
. . .in the B10. CBS probably had the first B10 pick and took UMich-UIUC while Fox probably had the 2nd B10 pick this week and took UNL-IU
Dan is very happy that Illinois Fighting Illini will get it first appearance on CBS when they host Michigan Wolverines in Champaign.
No surprises Alabama vs. Tennessee will be on ABC and Georgia vs. Texas will also be on ABC.
Georgia at Texas is My #1 early evening choice for CFB.
UCLA with another 9 AM kickoff…..they must be thrilled.
UCLA Fans will be enjoying hotcakes, sausage patties & Coca-Cola.
Here is My timetable for CFB games for Week 8

Oklahoma State at BYU late Friday evening
Wisconsin at Northwestern BTN Noon
