10/2 Six Day Picks and 10/9 Twelve Day Guesses

ESPN and Raycom made their 12 day selections for their networks for October 2nd

12pm ESPN Northwestern at Minnesota
12pm ESPN2 Miami (FL) at Clemson (ESPN3D)
12pm ACCNet Florida St. at Virginia
3:30pm ABC Virginia Tech at NC State
7pm Georgia Tech at Wake Forest
8pm ABC/ESPN2 Stanford at Oregon
8pm ABC Notre Dame at Boston College
8pm ESPN Penn St. at Iowa
8pm ESPN2 Washington at USC

At 3:30pm, it is confirmed that Oklahoma-Texas game will be the ABC reverse mirror with the Michigan St.-Wisconsin game.

As for the time change on the Stanford-Oregon game and how the three ABC game will be distributed, we'll need coverage maps for exact distribution but I'm told that everyone will receive one of two distributions

Notre Dame - Boston College on ABC, Stanford - Oregon on ESPN2
OR
Stanford - Oregon on ABC, Washington - USC on ESPN2

Based on those two distributions, both ND-BC and UW-USC should be available via ESPN GamePlan in areas where they are not on either ABC or ESPN2.

Twelve day selections for October 9th. There's a real chance that the Big 12 will be on a 12 day pick and could have some issues with its TV windows. The reason is not the games themselves but the site of the Arkansas vs. Texas A&M matchup (Cowboys Stadium). Others have made me aware that Cowboys Stadium and the Ballpark at Arlington share many of the same parking facilities and that the Rangers would likely host ALDS game on 10/9 possibly at night.

Right now I have ESPN using one of their sublicense windows, keeping the game from FSN, and I'm assuming that the Rangers will host a nighttime playoff game. Couple that with a Baylor/Texas Tech game that is expected to be an early kickoff due to the neutral site of Cotton Bowl stadium, the Big 12 should expect to have some games on hold.

Also, an early ESPNU schedule had Hawai'i - Fresno St. at 10:30pm, but now that Nevada is ranked, I'd choose them for an ESPNU slot and use Hawai'i-FS for a WAC Network game. The game could remain a PPV game on the island even if the WAC Network produces it.
