College Football Coverage Chart: Week 1
By Mike Dyce
The college football season got started in the middle of the week, but it won’t really feel like it has started until Saturday. That is when the majority of games get played and that is when ESPN’s traveling road show “College GameDay” airs.
There are plenty of games and big match ups, but finding the games to watch on television can sometimes be difficult with the ever expanding sports networks and growing number of channels. The folks at 506 Sports made things a little bit easier with a handy chart with the biggest channels. Some time slots have two games pencilled in and which one the game will be depends on your location.
It makes things a lot easier to read than scrolling through the guide on your cable box.
From 506 Sports:
506 Sports also has a list of all the games, what time the game starts, what channel it is on and who is calling it.
