The 12-week prime-time college football series is a first for a broadcast network. All games will being at 8 p.m. Eastern. Last season, ABC did four Saturday prime-time college games.
ABC’s Monday Night Football ended a 36-year run in December as the longest running network series. ESPN will take over the weekly Monday night NFL game this season.
