CFB TV Guesses for 2021 Week 5 (10/2/21)

Here are the games already set for television and/or webcast. Here are the known available telecast windows. 

I have done my best to list what TV windows are out there. Every listing service has a little different schedule for these networks. It is also possible that a window could be eliminated or the time of a window could shift slightly to accommodate a network's needs.

A few notes and considerations:

* Three Big Ten games are locked into their start times as homecoming games:

• Minnesota at Purdue (12pm)
• Northwestern at Nebraska (7:30pm)
• WKU at Michigan State (7:30pm)

* Boston College at Clemson has been preselected to air on ACC Network, but the start time is not finalized.

* Air Force at New Mexico and Nevada at Boise State will air on a FOX Sports platform.

* FOX is scheduled to air MLB in the evening.

* ESPN advance schedule lists games at 6pm and 9pm ET, which in the past has meant a doubleheader of SEC games in the evening.

* FS1 has NASCAR Trucks in the early afternoon.

* FS2 has one slot in the evening.

* CBS Sports Network has a selection from the MAC at 12pm ET.

My thoughts

* On the most recent episode of Richard Deitsch's podcast, Gus Johnson believed that his next game after Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin is Michigan at Wisconsin.  They're not 100% accurate on knowing their upcoming schedule, but let's assume Gus is accurate and that FOX had the top Big Ten choice this week.

* I have ABC with the top Big 12 and Pac-12 selections.
