x- The Miami Beach Bowl didn't provide a national radio carrier for the 2014 season. As a result both local schools broadcasts were made available through the regular platforms. The only nationwide broadcast available was the Cougar IMG Sports Network simulcast on BYU Radio- nationwide on Sirius XM 143, Dish Network 980, and byuradio.org
