All times are ET. The Big 10 Network and SEC Network haven't released any information, to my knowledge, of their respective schedules, as of yet, with the exception of the Florida A&M vs. Arkansas game, which was announced a while back. And I would expect ESPNews to broadcast a game or two as well.

I'll update the list as we get more times and networks announced.

I see OSU is playing on scrub day

 

[Hitman Hart]

That August 26th date is such a tease

 

[ericd7633]

I see OSU is playing on scrub day

I think every team has played on scrub day except for ND.

Edit* And possibly Bama

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Interesting to see that Fox and their affiliate FS1 have started to take a chunk of big games from ESPN

Week 1 isn't the greatest example as Fox got stuck with Louisville destroying Purdue while everyone watches Alabama vs Florida State, but looking further down the road Fox has a strong slate

They have some minor wins too, for the noon games most will be inclined to watch Texas play Maryland instead of the top teams ripping into Mac opponents.

Why am I not having South Carolina on my tv that first Thursday? It's become something of a tradition that first Thursday them playing another SEC intermediate and ESPN deep throating the whole conference the duration of the game.

I think we've been displaced twice. The first was Minnesota in like 2005 because of baseball playoffs -- they were using the baseball stadium that Minn used to play in. And then 2015 when we played @Utah.

It sucks IMO. You feel disconnected from the opening of CFB since you aren't playing on the first saturday.

I thought that game against Minnesota was a Friday night? For some reason, I think I remember coming home from high school football and watching it. I only say that because back then(I'm thinking it was more 2002/2003) playing on Thursday/Friday was very rare. Plus from what I remember it was a good game that the Gophers choked away. lol.

I did think that was pretty neat though to be able to watch it on a weekday. Probably was more intrigued because it was Michigan though.

You're right, it was a friday.

They've opened up on a Thursday 5 years in a row, and 8 times in the last 10 years. Strange not seeing them on a Thursday tbh.

FOX and FS1 will have their strongest slate ever.

Agreed it's very odd

you would think their game would be a 6 o'clock matchup on ESPN2

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

By the way the best game of the noon slate on Saturday is on Acc Network

Does anyone even get that network? Aren't they expanding it eventually so more people get it?

I haven't looked for it

Agreed they have been making moves each year and this year is the best yet

FS1 has become more available which is good

For the longest time only my TV in the mancave with the DVR had it, now it's on every TV in my house

I get a version of it. I'm still not sure how it works. For instance during basketball season there would be 3 games on at one time, but I would only have access to the regional game, so if it was Pitt or UVA I'd get that game no matter what based on where I live. For football, there is generally a noon game that I get, which works out good because during conference play there is typically only one scheduled noon start.

I think for now its only a regional thing and you have to be in the ACC "footprint" to have access to it. I do believe ESPN and the ACC are going to be doing there own version of a network in 2019. Similar to what the SEC network is now.

 

[tducey]

Looks like a good slate of games, less than 3 months until college football starts.
