College Football Week 1 TV Schedule: Complete TV Listings and Live Stream Info

Welcome back to another year of the Ultimate College Football Television Viewing Guide! Yes, please hold all of your applause that I’m sure is going on at your computer, laptop, ipad, or whatever ipad rip off that you may be using.  

Before we get into the schedule, you’ll see we have a new format this year; gone is the individual slideshows of every game in favor of a new table format that makes it easier on you the reader.  

I have to ask, “How was your summer?” 

Well, mine was good, I sold a couple of jerseys for tattoos, cars, and other goods. No wait, that was the athletes on The Ohio State Football team.  

I attended a couple of parties on a yacht with strippers and various amounts of drugs thrown by a guy now in jail over a Ponzi scheme. No wait, that was the athletes on the Miami Florida Football team. 

There was the drunken brawl I had at a bar in Baton Rouge where some guy tried to break it up only to get kicked in the head. No wait, that was the athletes on the LSU Football team. 

Well, I guess compared to all of those examples, my summer was quite boring. Like you, I’ve been anxiously waiting around for the new College Football Season to start up!  

So, let’s forget about who sold what, who snorted what off where, and who kicked who in the face. And, let’s get back to ignoring our loved ones, consuming as much greasy food and adult beverages as possible, and putting our faith into a team that has an easy conference, with a new head coach, and a returning Junior quarterback. And, hope that this year, unlike last year, they won’t choke away a three game lead with four games remaining thus ending the season without a BCS Bowl Game....again.  

I hate you Pitt Panthers.
