See I follow that train of thought except look at the second half matchups
Saturday, October 12 Tulsa at UTEP (didn't mark as blue)
Saturday, October 19 Southern Miss at East Carolina
Saturday, November 9 Tulsa at East Carolina
vs
Thursday, November 14 Marshall at Tulsa
Thursday, November 21 Rice at UAB
Friday, November 29 FIU at Florida Atlantic
Marshall/Tulsa could be a fine matchup if you guys pick it up from the past 2 seasons, BUT you have Tulsa/UTEP (key west battle) and Tulsa/ECU (CG foreshadow?) on the table that would showcase C-USA a lot better and have better storylines.
Next I have no idea why Rice/UAB was chosen for a Thursday to begin with. Either going to be a boring Rice blowout or a close boring game. So instead slot that to FSN and use one of FS1's 10 slots for USM/ECU which is a rivalry game and may just decide the east.
Lastly, FIU/FAU would've gotten the 11th blue slot (if Fox wasn't splitting their 20 in half) just slightly over Tulsa/UTEP just because it's a rivalry game showcasing two nCUSA teams.
