Oklahoma-Ok. State is Nov. 10. At least they're not vs. Alabama-LSU. West Virginia-Oklahoma State and Iowa State-Texas are the best Big 12 games I see (Oklahoma hosts Kansas and TCU is at Baylor). Big Ten 2018 is out. It probably doesn't matter if no one wants to play prime time but the best game I see is Michigan State-Nebraska (assuming Nebraska is back). ACC and Pac-12 to my knowledge are not out. Assuming Notre Dame gets its way, I'm guessing USC-UCLA will be November 17 at the Rose Bowl. I would guess Clemson and Florida State will play scrubs November 17 to prepare for South Carolina and Florida like they are on November 18 this year. Maybe ABC/FOX should cancel their prime time games on November 17 next year.Schmolikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354979882826093125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-51379628165164036502017-11-07T17:11:48.823-05:002017-11-07T17:11:48.823-05:00The week before rivalry week doesn't seem to g...The week before rivalry week doesn't seem to give many good games, especially in the SEC when a lot of teams play non conference teams. In fact in the 2018 SEC schedule on Nov. 17 there are three conference games and eight non conference including Alabama playing Citadel and Florida playing Idaho! CBS would be stupid to schedule a doubleheader this week. They really should schedule a doubleheader Nov. 24 where they could get the Iron Bowl and another game like LSU-Texas A&M or Georgia Tech-Georgia. In fact, maybe they can schedule the Iron Bowl for prime time instead of Alabama-LSU on November 3.<br /><br />I think Cal-Stanford and UCLA-USC should be on Rivalry Week, not the week before. Who does Notre Dame think they are? Notre Dame isn't USC's rival, UCLA is. Same with Stanford. Have Notre Dame-USC on November 17 next year. Notre Dame should find a new rival on November 24 (maybe Michigan State?)<br /><br />On the other hand, I think Oklahoma and Oklahoma State should play Nov. 17 next year. They obviously didn't want to play the last week since they might meet in the Big 12 championship but they wound up the same week as Alabama-LSU and wound up on FS1. So if they played on Nov. 17 they probably wind up on prime time, especially if no Big Ten team wants to play in prime time next year.<br /><br />BTW I deleted the last comment because for some reason I thought my earlier comment about the Big Ten didn't go through but it did.

No Big Ten prime time games at all per Landof10.com<br /><br />https://www.landof10.com/ohio-state/ohio-state-illinois-game-time-announcement-week-12<br /><br />So with the Big 10 and ACC out and SEC not allowed on ABC or FOX, that leaves prime time with Big 12 or Pac 12. Could we see Pac 12 vs. Pac 12?<br />Schmolikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354979882826093125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9137059844561398433.post-67505445827335108082017-11-07T07:32:35.195-05:002017-11-07T07:32:35.195-05:00Nebraska at Penn State also not at night.

At this point, Cal-Stanford & Arizona-Oregon are both 6-3 vs. 5-5. Khalil Tate is worth being shown too, even if Arizona is less likely to win the South. As I mentioned at the top, a six day hold is quite possible.<br /><br />If you didn't catch it at the top, Pac-12 selection order is listed.

If they aren't the prime time game the 3:30pm slot on ABC is a good slot for Michigan-Wisconsin. <br /><br />I would think California-Stanford would be ranked higher than Arizona-Oregon so unless Pac-12 has priority over ESPN or the Big Game has to be during the daytime, I think that should be in the ESPN 10:45pm ET slot. I'd argue because of Love that game might be higher than UCLA-USC for the 3:30pm FOX slot and Berkeley did stomp all over Wazzu this year. I'm not sure how Utah/Washington is the top Pac-12 game of the week in the FOX prime time slot, I would think Stanford with Love and USC would be more national teams than USC, especially with the rivalry slots. I'd be more interested in seeing UCLA-USC or Cal-Stanford than two teams with no rivalry. I'm sure no Pac-12 games will be determined until after this Saturday's games. <br /><br />Miami hosting 3 times in a row in prime time? But I guess there's really no one else assuming Wisconsin says no. If I were ABC, I'd air UCLA-USC or Cal-Stanford but that would go against FOX's game. I'm guessing FOX's contract requires a certain number of Pac-12 prime time games so that's unavoidable.<br />Schmolikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16354979882826093125noreply@blogger.com
