This is a list of every game played during week 5 of the 2018 college football season involving at least one FBS or FCS school. All games are listed, televised or not.
For the streamed/televised games (only live broadcasts are listed), I include the announcers and sideline reporters (where applicable). I put all of it on a Google Documents spreadsheet that can be accessed at the following link:
College Football TV Listings 2018, Week 5
Additional notes:
– I include games streamed by ESPN3.com, Fox Sports Go, and BTN2Go; they are denoted as “ESPN3”, “FS-Go”, and “BTN2Go”, respectively. This season, I will also list streamed games for NBC Live Extra, CBS Sports Digital, and WatchESPN.
– I also list digital network feeds provided by various conferences. For some of these feeds, the audio will be a simulcast of the home team’s radio broadcast. Other online platforms have their own announcers.
For now, the digital networks I am including in the listings are those for the ACC, CAA, Big Sky (Pluto TV), Big South, OVC, SoCon, WCC, NEC (Front Row), CUSA, Mountain West, and Patriot League (the last four of those being on the Stadium platform).
Occasionally individual schools (almost always at the FCS level) provide video feeds. When that is the case, I list those as well.
– This year, thanks mostly to the proliferation of ESPN+ games, I am including pay-per-view telecasts and streams. These matchups are sometimes listed as “PPV” telecasts or (in the case of feeds from individual schools) “All-Access” streams, though an occasional stream with that description is actually free.

As always, I must mention the relentless information gatherers (and in some cases sports-TV savants) at the506.com. I am also assisted on occasion by helpful athletic media relations officials at various schools and conferences.
