PrintESPN plans to broadcast more than 450 college football games this year in some capacity. An impressive number, to say the least, even though that’s counting a lot of games on either ESPN3 or ESPN Radio.
The Worldwide Leader released a preliminary list of the marquee games it will be carrying this fall, which you can find below. In addition, we’ve added the point spreads for every matchup. (Those with no asterisk are currently available at 5Dimes; those with an asterisk come from our projections.)
The list is far from expansive, particularly in the later weeks where it thins out considerably. Nevertheless, it includes every game that is currently locked in to be televised on either ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU.
Enjoy.
