I see a show that is missing from this list and that is The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Show. Was this pre-empted by the college football game? I know that it was CBS's last season that the show aired (1984-1985) before it moved to ABC in the 1985-1986 season.

I would have to assume so, because according to the link the football coverage started at noon EST.

In the interest of accuracy, it would be "all times EDT" as the time change
was early the next morning (Sunday October 28).

The You Tube video clarifies the start time of the UCLA/AZ State game.
Even though the TV nets were (and still are) sooooo east coast-centric,
I didn't think they'd insist a college football game kickoff just after 9:00am
local time.

The sports promo graphic has the game slotted at 3:00pm PDT--after NBA--
so it would have aired on the left coast only, plus Phoenix/Tucson (and Yuma,
if it had a CBS affil then).
