ESPN2 has a NASCAR conflict and will not air a 12pm game, but will be the home to the reverse mirror game at 3:30pm. The Big Ten Network should have multiple games at 12pm because of the missing ESPN2 window. Iowa, Michigan and Penn St. have not yet appeared on the Big Ten Network. I think Michigan and Penn St. will be picked here. Iowa still has a game vs. Minnesota the last week of the season and that should fulfill their requirement.
The Big 12 is slated to have a sublicense window on ESPN/ESPN2 at 7pm.
Remember that the Pac-10 can be part of the ABC reverse mirror. I'm thinking it gets Oregon some more exposure, particularly in Big Ten areas.
The lack of an available Big East game means the WAC can fill the ESPNU 3:30pm slot with Hawai'i-Boise St. Louisville-Syracuse, while currently two teams w/winning records, must fill the Big East Network slot as the other Big East game is on a weeknight.
Might be a slight chance Alabama-LSU is passed up by CBS. CBS has an SEC doubleheader on 11/13 and Alabama-Mississippi St. will be under consideration. The Tide already has four appearances slated for CBS and the maximum is five appearances per team for the regular season games, though each time has a one-time six game exception. Florida's exception was used last year and it would be somewhat surprising to see CBS use their exception on Alabama right away.

ReplyDeleteMichigan vs U Mass?
Sorry TJ. I meant that they had not appeared in a conference game on the Big Ten Network.
ReplyDeletemichigan and msu have never played on the BTN simultaneously, and i dont expect to start here, move one (most likely msu ) to the espn game
ReplyDeleteDon't know where you got that from, but its wrong. Michigan and Michigan St. have played in the same window on the BTN before. Including one matchup between the two schools.
ReplyDelete10/6/07 - EMU @ UM, Northwestern at MSU
10/13/07 - Purdue @ UM, Indiana at MSU
10/3/09 - Michigan @ Michigan St.
11/7/09 - Purdue at UM, WMU at MSU
All games in 12pm window.
i stand corrected, but the 10/13/07 msu/indiana game was a night game...per your site ;)
ReplyDeleteand i certainly wasnt referencing when they played each other,
too bad the BTN doesnt do coverage maps anymore as I would love to see how the state of michjigan would be split with primary and overflow
