FOOTBALL SCHEDULES
- College Football Schedule (FBS)
- College Football TV Schedule (FBS & FCS)
Holy smokes this looks like a tough week for television slotting. Miami at North Carolina for PT ABC? No idea what FOX is going to choose for Big Noon Kickoff
Robby, Miami at North Carolina will be on ABC if Notre Dame-Navy ends up on ESPN. Plus, ABC wants two of its SEC games.
Wisconsin-Iowa would make an excellent FOX Big Noon Saturday game.
ABC will be 12p – Auburn at Ole Miss, 330- Florida vs Georgia and 730p- Miami at UNC. As for the Noon on Fox I would not be surprised if BYU does a 10am game that week.
Georgia-Florida was set for 3:30pm over the summer.
Bill, Arizona State-BYU likely be a FOX 3:30PM kickoff plus Big Ten have a nine game slate.
Keep in mind there also that weekend could potentially bring game 7 of the World Series. FOX is already not scheduling a Friday night game because of that. Networks are not going to be a lot of prime matchups on in primetime that week because of the World Series. FOX obviously won’t have a primetime game nor even an 11pm late game probably.
If Northwestern-UO isn’t picked as a top 3 B10 game (very likely), Fox could schedule it for 11PM tentatively on FS1 and flex it to Fox if there isn’t a Game 7.
