2 games have no network listed yet. ESPN assigns most college broadcasts close to tip — last season 95.6% of games ended up with one, so these fill in rather than staying blank.
The grid is national and conference television — ESPN and its siblings, CBS and CBS Sports Network, Fox and FS1, the Big Ten, SEC, ACC and Mountain West channels. Blocks are placed on the clock rather than in columns, so a 6:30 tip sits where 6:30 is, and a two-hour window is two hours wide.
Everything else is listed underneath instead of getting its own lane, and that's two different things sharing a section. ESPN+ carried 3,420 of last season's 6,043 televised games — as a grid row it would be dozens deep, which is a column rather than a schedule. The regional networks below it are real television, just not national: the network-heaviest night we hold lists 26 separate linear channels, and ten of them get a line here instead of a lane.
Where two ranked teams meet, the block is gold; one ranked team turns it cyan. Ranks come from the AP Top 25 — the full poll and the Coaches Poll are their own page, and the schedule has every game whether it's on television or not.
