A Few Notes:

- The teams of Musburger-Herbstreit-Salters, Nessler-Griese-Maguire, Patrick-Blackledge-Rowe, Franklin-Cunningham, McDonough-Spielman-Stone, Jones-Davie, and Pasch-Ware-Andrews are all still intact.
- Jesse Palmer is in the booth instead of Doug Flutie on Thursday nights along with Chris Fowler, Craig James and Erin Andrews.
- Flutie will still be on the ABC Studio show with John Saunders and James.
- Rece Davis, Lou Holtz and Mark May have been moved to just weekday games.

Here are the teams and their assigned locations each week....

Ron Franklin should be on a team that has the primetime night game on either ABC or ESPN. He does not need to be buried on ESPN2 or some regional ABC afternoon game. I wish they would kick Brent M to the curb.

I find Doug Flutie about as underatted as an announcer as he was a QB....he's knowlegable and what he says usually pans out, unoticed.

Really? Under rated as a QB. If anything he is rated exactly where he should be. Which is, he was not a good NFL qb.

Yes really....everywhere he went he was'nt given a starter role, everytime his number was called he won. He won everywhere he played, you can be a hater all you want but he got the job done.

Oh, you're supposed to be given a starter role? My bad, didn't realize he was entitled and was just getting the shaft.

I also didn't realize that a career record of 29-23 as a starter, with 2 winning seasons is good. Maybe you were thinking of his CFL days where he won everywhere he played.

Who will be doing the UCLA game, the same team that does the Bama-Clemson game on Sat. night?

My guess is they use their marquee names for that one. Who that is, I don't know.

Bama fans are freaking out because Dennis Franchione is doing the Bama-Clemson game (on Radio) as his first game! Hahahahahahahahahaha.

Doug is a great guy, and good announcer (neighbor of mine here in FL). He is knowledgable, but never tries to act like he knows more than he does.

And he can still play some b-ball for an OG!
