Fox outlines 2013 College Football schedule

Thanks go to our friends at Sports Media Journal for compiling this schedule. Fox College Football will air the 2013 season of games across multiple Fox Sports Media Groups in Fox, Fox Sports 1, Fox Sports Net, and Fox College Sports. The majority of the FSN games will come from Conference USA (both in conference and out of conference) and the Big 12 (out of conference) while the majority of Fox and Fox Sports 1 will be comprise the Big 12 and Pac-12 Conferences, as well as a few select Conference USA games. The Fox College Sports package this year will feature nothing but matches from Conference USA (this doesn't include teams like Northern Arizona or North Dakota, who have contracts to air select games on Fox College Sports, but those games are programmed by NAU-TV and FSSN, not Fox College Sports). Announcing assignments will be announced at a later date. 

Below is the Press Release from Fox Sports outlining this season.
