Split Squad games. One at each stadium. Novel idea to increase inventory for the networks.

Congrats to UTSA, the first team to ever schedule all four FBS Owls as opponents in the same season.

They also play UNT, which is kind of birdish.

That's cool. Sooner the better to plan for me , but I don't even finalize until May because I have NFL season tickets

Army plays 3 of them in September.

And since Army has an early bye, Army plays against ONLY Owls in September.

Shame it didn't work out for Owltober

The next important thing is the release of week 0-3 TV and weeknight TV info (some of which will still be listed as "tbd"). "End of May" is what we have for that.

Until then, a few thoughts on the schedule as a whole.
* The Conference Championship Game on FRIDAY 6 December. This is interesting, and I would say good overall. We have been on ABC for nine years, with the tradeoff being frequently head-to-head against the SEC on CBS. Well, now the SEC took our ABC 3:30 ccg timeslot. (I am sure some on here will turn that into "Aresco sux!11!") Our primary media partner has the SEC, Big12, and ACC ccgs eating up the ABC noon, afternoon, and primetime slots. The Sun Belt and MAC are still on Saturday, so resigned to ESPN. CUSA is on Friday night on CBSSN - while that MIGHT siphon a few viewers off of the AAC CCG on ABC/ESPN, it won't show up in the Nielsen ratings. The interesting one is the mwc -- still date tbd from their announcement. I expect they will be on Fox up against the SEC. They may even do a little better than last year's 1.26 million there. The other possibility is they'll go to Friday night as the season capper of Fox's new move to Friday night college football. That would be interesting.

* Thursday and Friday night games -- after some Week 1 games against FCS on Thurs/Fri, a full slate of conference games. No Navy or UAB. Three teams double up, splitting home and away.
Thursday, September 26 Army at Temple
Friday, October 11 Memphis at South Florida
Thursday, October 31 Charlotte at Tulane
Friday, November 1 South Florida at Florida Atlantic
Thursday, November 7 Florida Atlantic at East Carolina
Friday, November 8 Rice at Memphis
Thursday, November 14 East Carolina at Tulsa
Friday, November 15 North Texas at UTSA

* Bye weeks - the calendar adds a week this year, so everyone has two byes. A good number come before a team's Thursday/Friday game (but not all). With Army and Navy having three ooc games vs Air Force and ND after 26 Oct (and Navy at Air Force first week of October), there are byes throughout October and November. But it doesn't really diminish what we're offering the media partners. The only weekends with fewer than five games to give our media partners are 5 October and 12 October.

* Thanksgiving - Memphis at Tulane! It will be interesting to see how this does. Unless I missed other news, this will join the Egg Bowl as the only Thanksgiving games. That is a chance for high profile, but on a day dominated by the NFL.

* Black Friday game will be chosen from UAB-Charlotte, Navy-East Carolina or South Florida-Rice, with that selection made by Oct. 14, and channel/time made still closer to the game.

The Egg Bowl is scheduled for Saturday this year. Tulane v Memphis is the only college game that day.

Oh!

Thanks for that. Obviously I wasn't tracking the change. Each has a tough out of conference test (or two), and both travel to NMCMS, but there's still a good chance it will be a CFP-significant game.
