ESPN Releases More Of Their 2009 College Football Schedule

Bear with me, because this post is going to get a little long. ESPN released their announcing teams for College Football two weeks ago, and today they've dropped the entire schedule of games on the network's family of channels. Not only does ESPN take over the five BCS games in 2010 (thank God!), but this year they've acquired the rights to the Texas Bowl, which gives them a total of thirty Bowl Games. Obviously every game isn't set in stone, so there are a lot of holes (I left out the TBDs), but here's an early look at some of the matchups.....
