Third and long: Asmussen's favorite TV networks for college football

Our college football writer is counting down the days until the 2019 season. Here are his favorite TV networks for college football:

1. ABC/ESPN

For me, it will never get better than watching/listening to Keith Jackson calling rivalry games late in the season. He's been gone more than a year and he continues to be missed.

2, BTN

Jim Delany's crazy idea has turned into a broadcasting monster. The network did a smart thing, hiring Dave Revsine, Howard Griffith and Gerry DiNardo early on for the studio show.

3. Fox

Once known mostly as the home of "The Simpsons," the network now has a strong lineup each week, including the best game in the Big Ten.
