Fox isnt bad...but they could do with some better announcers.

You got to understand that Fox is not really built for CFB. Outside of a brief stint hosting the BCS, where they used their Pro guys, they rarely have any primetime CFB games. In fact this year is the first year of their primetime games that were not on their regional sport networks.

I like their productions. They have some very good insight, especially their referee guy.

I remember when ESPN first started televising CFB games...they were atrocious as well. Took them about 3 or 4 seasons to get it down to a good production.

They are worse now than when they started. They can't even provide HD on FSW. Their camera angles are rarely adequate to give a definitive look at a video review. Their announcers seem to be suprised that they have an audience. If I had coverage this good in 1978 I would have been ecstatic, but today they suck in competing for best video and commentary.
