Starting next season, the top ACC, Big 12 and SEC games each week where the CFB and NFL regular seasons overlap (up through Thanksgiving weekend) need to be flexed to Sunday on ABC so that viewers in markets where the NFL team is doing poorly can watch a better alternative (like in Cleveland).

If any of this made an ounce a sense, I don’t think that is even legal. There are laws against scheduling against each other. Additionally, nobody would watch this and ABC has other obligations.

There are other days where CFB and the NFL go head-to-head.

Not true. It has happened on many Thursdays over the years as well as on Black Friday since 2023. It's also happened on other Saturdays during FBS bowl season over the years. There's even been a few bowl games going up against NFL playoff games.

And there were some Sunday night CFB games during the NFL regular season on ESPN between 2006-2009.

You can only schedule games within so far of other games. Or else the NFL would run every Saturday.

After watching Ohio State play on all 4 networks this year this is how I’d rank them. Picture quality, announcers, studio, etc.

1. CBS
2. NBC
3. FOX

4. ESPN

No one on Sundays wants to watch College football.

Lol yeah UGA/Ole Miss needs to be played on a Sunday now because the Browns are 1-5, makes total sense

Here's something else Z is forgetting. Imagine telling the well-to-do alumni STHs who show up in their fancy tailgating vehicles that the big game is being flexed to Sunday because the local NFL team sucks.

All good, they are flexing church to Saturdays in this scenario so the STH can just show up there instead

Do the schools also then cancel Monday classes since half the student body may be hungover?

I would, but I don't watch the NFL

There's an anti-trust agreement(Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961) that governs the NFL scheduling for Friday nights through saturdays from September to, iirc, the 2nd weekend in December. After that it's open for them to schedule.
That's why all NFL Friday games (such as Black Friday) aren't played in the evenings through mid Dec.
That's why some days (Thursday and Bowl games in Dec/Jan) you can see both NFL and CFB game but CFB doesn't want to go head to head with NFL they'll get crushed in ratings.

Dynasties galore at the lower levels. North Central won their third DIII championship in the past six years last night, Ferris State won their third DII championship in the past four years, and North Dakota State won their tenth title in the past fourteen years in the FCS.
