It's time for the annual thread again about Week 0 & Week 1 on TV as college football is on tv one week from tomorrow! As always I'll just highlight what I'm watching in each time slot and you have the link to the full list. I only include FBS vs FBS and leave out the FCS games unless something jumps out at me. Like most seasons, week 0 is just enough of a taste to get you ready for the good stuff on week 1

Here are your TV links:

2023 Football TV Schedule By Week (mattsarzsports.com)

College Football TV Schedule (lsufootball.net)


 

Week 0 Saturday August 26 (Times Central):

1:30 NBC Navy vs Notre Dame (-20.5) (Dublin, Ireland) - First game of the year and probably the "best" of the day

---------------------------------------------

4:30 CBSSN Jacksonville State vs UTEP (+1.5) - Probably time to get your shopping done or hang out with the family, but first year in the FBS for JSU and UTEP was surprisingly decent last year. 

----------------------------------------------

6:00 FS1 Ohio at San Diego State (-3) - Traditionally two decent teams in their conferences, might be worth checking out

6:00 ESPN UMass at New Mexico State (-7.5) - Low key might watch this one on a secondary screen as I want to see how Kill has the Aggies going this year, especially with their fun QB

6:30 SECN Hawaii at Vanderbilt (-18.5) - Well at least it should be interesting to see it played at a HS stadium with Hawaii throwing it 1000 times

7:00 PACN San Jose State at USC (-30) - Not worth finding a pirate stream to me

8:00 CBSSN FIU at Louisiana Tech (-10.5) - Something to have on the tv if you're home and the other games are over. 


 

Week 1:

 

Thursday August 31:

6:00 FS1 Kent State at UCF (N/A) - First game as a Big12 member for UCF and I’ll probably keep this on a secondary screen

6:30 CBSSN NC State @ UConn (+15.5)- should be a snoozer 

7:00 ESPN Florida at Utah (-7) - Finally the first P5 vs P5 matchup of the year and it might be a defensive struggle with the QB situation for both teams

7:00 Fox Nebraska @ Minnesota (-7) - Another good one with Matt Rhule’s first game at NU

 

Friday September 1:

6:00 FS1 Central Michigan at Michigan State (-14.5) - Meh

6:00 ACCN Miami (Ohio) at Miami (-17.5) - At least the names are funny

6:30 ESPN Louisville at Georgia Tech (+7.5) - Conference game here and Brohm’s first at Louisville should be fun

—-----------------------------------------

10:00 CBSSN Stanford at Hawaii (+7.5) - Well it’s college football on tv and might be a good game according to the odds


 

Saturday September 2:

11AM ESPN Arkansas State at Oklahoma (N/A) - Nah, unless ASU is keeping it close

11AM SECN Ball State at Kentucky (N/A) - Same as the OU game

11AM CBSSN Bowling Green at Liberty (-11.5) - Fuck Liberty

11AM FOX Colorado @ TCU (-21) - One of the games I’m looking forward too the most of the weekend from a pure entertainment standpoint. O/U on number of bench clearing brawls set to 1.5

11AM Peacock East Carolina at Michigan (-34.5) - Not worth opening a separate app

11AM BTN Fresno State at Purdue (-5.5) - Might be worth keeping an eye on with Purdue bringing in a new staff and Fresno was pretty good last year

11AM ESPNU LaTech at SMU (-17) - Maybe if it was on week 0

11AM ACCN Northern Illinois at Boston College (-9.5) - Only if the upset pops

11AM ABC Tennessee vs Virginia (+27.5) - Man Virginia is supposed to be terrible

11AM FS1 Utah State at Iowa (N/A) - Maybe if Iowa craps the bed

1PM ESPN + Northern Iowa at Iowa State (N/A) - This is one of those games that ISU either loses or wins by 3 and ISU is going to enter this game with who knows how many players out for gambling

—---------------------------------------------

2:30 ABC Boise State at Washington (-15.5) - Boise State usually plays well in these big games early in the year so it might be a good one

2:30 FS1 Buffalo at Wisconsin (-24.5) - Snooze, but first game with the Wisconsin staff

2:30 CBS Ohio State at Indiana (+28.5) - I guess if there is some unimaginable upset also here is that B1G on CBS game

2:30 Fox Rice at Texas (-35.5) - Rice never plays ya’ll well so nope

2:30 CBSSN USF at Western Kentucky (-13.5) - Damn USF almost a 2 TD dog to WKU

2:30 ESPN UMass at Auburn (-38.5) - You know it’s week 1 when ESPN has a nearly 40 point spread on the main station at 2:30

3:00 ESPNU Cal at North Texas (+7.5) - If UNT makes Cal’s summer even worse then I’ll tune in

—------------------------------------------------

5:30 PACN Nevada at USC (-37.5) - Again not worth finding a pirate stream

6:00 ESPN New Mexico at Texas A&M (-38.5) - Another 40 point boring matchup on the main ESPN channel

6:00 ESPN+ Texas State at Baylor (-26.5) - Well wouldn’t be my pick as a 3rd party but you only get 12-13 times to watch your team a year

6:00 FS1 UTSA at Houston (N/A) - Low key this should be a really fun game and I wish it was on at 2:30 

6:00 CBSSN Washington State at Colorado State (+12.5) - Maybe if there is an upset

6:30 SECN Middle Tennessee at Alabama (-39.5) - Nope

6:30 ABC UNC vs South Carolina (Charlotte) (+2.5) - Maye vs Rattler is a really fun one

6:30 CBS Texas Tech at Wyoming (+14.5) - Odd choice for CBS and it would be great to see Wyoming win

6:30 BTN Toledo at Illinois (-9.5) - Toledo is sneaky good

6:30 NBC West Virginia at Penn State (-20.5) - This would’ve been great if WVU wasn’t expected to be trash this year

7:00 ACCN Old Dominion at VaTech (-14) - ODU needs to beat VaTech…again

7:00 ESPNU South Alabama at Tulane (-7.5) - Nope, but Tulane is a fun team to watch and USA is expected to be a good SunBelt team this year just a bad time slot for them

—-------------------------------------------

9:15 FS1 Sam Houston at BYU (N/A) - Technically SHSU is FBS now but that’s a tough environment to travel to for their first FBS game, but sneaky upset potential here

9:30 ESPN Coastal Carolina at UCLA (-15.5) - Really bad choices here at the after dark time slot especially with CCU losing their HC to…Liberty

 

Sunday September 3:

11:00 CBS Northwestern at Rutgers (-6.5) - Low key excited to see how bad this game is in a classic B1G struggle

—--------------------------

2:30 CBS Oregon State at San Jose State (+16.5) - At least you don’t have to change the channel 

—--------------------------

6:30 ABC Florida State vs LSU (Orlando) (-2.5) - Only top 25 matchup of Week 0/Week 1 and it should be a good one

 

Monday September 4:

7:00 ESPN Clemson at Duke (+12.5) - I would love to see the upset here but I think you take Clemson and the points.


 

Overall, not a great Week 1 and a bad Week 0 but hell it’s college football and I’ll fire up the grill in 105 weather and put the beers on ice!

Thanks for this!

Pretty stoked but my September is loaded with travel on the weekends. Someone has to sling guns and be an arms dealer.

Hey without you there would be no Pistol Pete or whatever Tech's mascot is, thank you for your service.

Bet the under on Florida-Utah. Mertz is fucking horrible and utah is out their top 2 QBs. Apparently Utah’s 3rd string QB is RSFr Nate Johnson, who ran a 10.56 100m as a senior in high school. Could be a guy to look out for in the coming years. 

I agree that both weeks are mostly dogshit, but I'm excited nonetheless. 

Navy is allegedly going to be throwing the ball a lot more this year. Notre Dame seems severely overrated. I'll be happy to check this one out. 

I think the Nebraska/Minnesota and Florida/Utah games are excellent Thursday starters. There might be less than 60 points scored combined among the 4 teams. 

Both the New Mexico/ATM and MTSU/Alabama games seem to have crazy spreads. ATM didn't blow anyone out last year. They lost their best offensive player and they're going to put up 40+ points? Okay. Bama gets the big spread because of name value, but they're breaking in new guys everywhere and they've got new coordinators. Saban is going to be conservative anyway. I guess I can see them winning 42-0, but if MTSU scores even one touchdown, 39.5 is a lot to cover.

Conversely, I'd assumed the Duke/Clemson spread would be wider. 

LSU being favored over FSU kind of surprises me. I won't be surprised if FSU wins that game by double digits. 

I LOVE that this thread is back.  Our long national nightmare is almost over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The usual Week 0/1 "hey it's football" with a few bits of real quality (hell yeah UF @ UU and FSU/LSU) 

My UNC grad girlfriend got matinee theater tickets on Saturday, which is brutal, but I'm immediately cashing in those points on a full afternoon of tailgating and attending the Duke game - Blue Devil fans are very bullish on Elko, and there's some rare excitement around football in Durham.

College football is on the television today folks. You know the people are ready for anything when I receive a text at 10:00 on a Friday night from my brother proposing a 9 hour drive to Los Cruces to watch UMass @ NMSU. Unfortunately I have to work this morning, or I might have been a road trip.

Snapshot...   Central time

Why the fuck is the first game not until 1:30? Who came up with this?

2:30 Fox Rice at Texas (-35.5) 

 

Same, except throw in Domers vs Navy and I may casually check in on some other week 0 action. Still too damn hot for yard work past noon so that's my Saturday afternoon/evening

Why is Hawaii playing AT Vanderbilt?

Come the fuck on, Vandy, you're supposed to be the smart ones in the conference...

Major props for this.

Man that ND/Navy game was a beating.  Like an NFL preseason game...technically football but man, hard to watch.

Fucking targeting.  What a shit rule.  

I’m doing a FUBO TV free 7 day trial just to watch the USC game (and preshow) because I’m a sicko and…why not, it’s week zero and I’m just happy to have CFB back

This new FOX score bug is some minor league bullshit. Tim Brando is a joke. Still couldn’t be happier to be watching Ohio vs SDSU right now.

Does fubo have LHN? That's my only issue this year..I have nearly everything ESPN produces except LHN

I don’t see LHN on here but it may be in a different tier. I have DirecTV with LHN and am just doing this 7 day trial for a free USC game watch.

The Ohio SDSU game is decent. Sadly might be the best game of the first day. 

Bruins should smoke SDSU

SIAP

ABC carrying S.Carolina St vs Jackson State

1st qtr just ended

USC up 7-0 on San Jose State Q1 06:33. SJ front is giving USC some issues, too bad their backend is slower than Panera Bread drive thru.

SC defense looks soft, to the surprise of no one that’s ever seen a Lincoln Riley coached team. 

It did last year
Oh shit..I may be getting my Fubo on, or at least a free trial for the first LHN game. That's assuming the free trial isn't limited to some basic package with no LHN. ffs the network is dead man walking...ESPN should just give it to every cable/streamer free this last year.
Thanks for this!

Easy Yuri.
