Pretty straightforward on this week's picks. Had to put Kansas at Nebraska on PPV, more for the ineptness of the Jayhawks when comparing to the other games available this week. Tough to keep Baylor off TV after they've beaten Texas and that's where they won out. Suppose that Kansas St. at Missouri could be where Kansas-Nebraska would switch out.

ACC was tough and I figured that Wake Forest at NC State could be a split Raycom game with Miami at Georgia Tech. I did consider Syracuse at Rutgers for ABC, but its tough to put a game like that on at the same time as Penn St. at Ohio St.

This week is a SEC on CBS doubleheader. Also believe that this week is a split week for the SEC Network 12pm syndication.

is there a chance 2 bigeast games are on this week on the u if maryland game and miami game are both on acc net?

I think its possible to get two Big East games on. That would mean multiple games on ESPN3.com for the ACC. Fact is, as of today, they have ranked teams. Big East does not. Even after this weekend, they likely will with NC State and maybe Va. Tech. At best Syracuse gets ranked but I believe that's a long shot.

syracuse was 29th in ap/33 in coaches after last week and a few teams lost from 16-33 (fsu,miami,michigan,navy,wvu,sd st)i could see them in at 24 or 25 or just out since nc state could jump in

Matt, what is the SEC selection order this week? If CBS has the top 2 picks, then I think it would make sense for them to take Mississippi State-Alabama instead of South Carolina-Flordia. MISS ST-ALA could be one of the very few matchups between two ranked teams on November 13.

Matt Sarzyniak said...

The problem is that CBS used their 4th Alabama pick on the LSU game and the Auburn game is pick #5. A SEC team cannot appear on CBS more than five times in a season, with a one time exception of six appearances during the life of the contract w/CBS (until 2024). The SEC championship game doesn't get counted in the appearances.

They used their Florida exception last year. I'm not sure I would use the Alabama exception this season.

CanadianSportsFan said...

Oh I thought any team could appear on CBS six times. Now it makes sense.

I learned something too. Seems that one of CBS's two doubleheaders, usually the 12pm-3:30pm one, CBS doesn't have the top two choices. CBS goes 1st, then ESPN & ESPN2 (if both are used), then CBS goes again.
