May 31, the college football schedule is revealed. So which marquee games will get top billing in the 2023 season's first weeks? ScottDochterman and slmandel attempt to predict the slate:
ABC, 7:30 p.m.Colorado State at Colorado FS1, 10:30 p.m.After the first three weeks, networks use 12-day designations — and a few six-day windows — to assign games and time slots. That’s why when leagues hold drafts, networks select weeks rather than specific games, outside of a few high-profile matchups.
Week 5 provides a great example of the unknowns networks face. In the Big Ten, the two biggest games include Michigan at Nebraska and Michigan State at Iowa. The Wolverines are guaranteed quality TV ratings, but they travel for the first time. The other three teams have games against challenging opponents beforehand — MSU against Washington, Nebraska against Minnesota and Colorado, and Iowa againstand Penn State. If Nebraska is unbeaten, then it gets the Big Noon treatment.
The SEC’s Week 7 slate provides a similar question. Three games lead the way: Texas A&M at Tennessee, Arkansas at Alabama and at LSU. Among those six teams, there are three head-to-head matchups in Weeks 4-6. What happens in Week 4’s Auburn-Texas A&M and Arkansas-LSU games will determine who plays at what time and which network in Week 7.’s first-ever Black Friday game , and for the first time, the Big Ten has two games . One will air on CBS and the other in prime time on NBC.
