2013-14 College Football TV Schedule (Regular Season and Bowls)

With still over four months to go before the start of the season, here is an early look at the 2013-14 college football national TV schedule. Click here to jump straight to schedule.

UPDATE 2/25: ACC weekday games on ESPN/ESPN2 added.
UPDATE 3/5: Additional games added.
UPDATE 4/20: Several bowl games added.
UPDATE 5/2: Several Big Ten, Mountain West games added.

As of January 27, the 2013 NCAA football schedule is still very much incomplete. However, there are already several items of note:

  • On the first Saturday of the season, ESPN and ABC will combine to air a pair of high-profile neutral site matchups in primetime — Alabama/Virginia Tech or LSU/TCU. The network for each game will be chosen at a later date.
  • The following week, ESPN or ABC will televise Notre Dame/Michigan in primetime, only the second primetime game ever at Michigan Stadium.
  • Week 3 of the season includes Alabama visiting Texas A&M and Johnny Manziel for the first time since last year’s upset. While no network is yet listed for the game, it would seem highly likely that the game will mark CBS’ season debut.
  • Other noteworthy games on the schedule thus far include Oklahoma/Notre Dame on NBC September 28, an Arizona State/Notre Dame neutral site game on NBC October 5, LSU/Alabama on November 9 (presumably a CBS primetime game), and Mississippi/Mississippi State on Thanksgiving (ESPN).
  • There will be a few changes on Conference Championship weekend — the Pac-12 title game will move to Saturday and air on ESPN or ABC (instead of FOX) and the Mountain West will stage its inaugural championship game.
  • The final edition of the Bowl Championship Series will begin with the Rose Bowl and Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Day and conclude with the BCS National Championship Game on January 6.

    Pretty bold that the Pac-12 Championship game will be on Saturday this upcoming season considering the match-ups they will face against other Conferences. Other than ESPN NBA Friday coverage I see no other reason for this to happen… Im also intrigued to see will the Cotton Bowl be moved to New Year’s day as well
