Updated Thursday 9.52pm: Louisiana-Monroe vs. #6 Florida State (Sunday; 5.30am; ESPN/ESPN-HD)
Here we go, the opening week of the season, and plenty of good games - and some less-appealing ones) scheduled for broadcast in Australia. It seems that the addition of ESPN2/ESPN2-HD has resulted in a jackpot for NCAA football fans in this country!
Interestingly this season, it appears that ESPN will be broadcasting the entire three hours of College GameDay. Last year, ESPN in America added a third hour - which is actually the first hour, from 9.00am - on ESPNU, to complement the two hours hosted by Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard and Lee Corso, that have been a staple for so many years.
The brand-new hour, hosted by the lovely Erin Andrews, begins at 11.00pm on Saturday nights here in Australia, with the Chris, Kirk, Desmond and Lee portion from Midnight for two hours into the first game of the day.
Also, ESPN Goal Line premieres in Australia Sunday at 5.30am on ESPN2/ESPN2-HD. It's a show that cuts from game to game, showing red zone possessions from games all across the ESPN family of networks. In America, it runs on a special Pay Per View channel, with the occasional hour-long preview, sandwiched in between live game action, as it is here, between Akron vs. Ohio State and Old Miss vs. BYU.
