* CBS has already selected the Florida-Georgia game from Jacksonville for its 3:30pm ET game. A fairly safe bet either way when you look at the rest of the SEC schedule, save for Mississippi St.-Alabama which looks decent right now.
* FOX does not have a primetime game this week due to the World Series. They'll have a 3:30pm game on FOX and a 3pm game on F/X
* I've moved the Michigan-Nebraska game up one hour to 7pm on ESPN2. This is to accommodate a Pac-12 window in the evening, allow for Ohio St.-Penn St. to be a doubleheader on ESPN and give Notre Dame-Oklahoma a full national telecast on ABC at 8pm.
* FOX did have Texas-Kansas in its leaked list. I'm moving away from that and giving Texas Tech-Kansas St. the 3:30pm slot
* Yes, I crammed four games into ABC's 3:30pm slot. SEC overcrowding from other slots never helps. I know the Pac-12 games are supposed to be full national, at least that's what they've told us. Not much I can do.
* Pac-12 Network is expected to do a tripleheader

Is it possible there could be a second SEC Network game added to relieve at least a little bit of the glut? Shifting Ole Miss/Arkansas to there and splitting the telecast (something that happened occasionally when it was JP/Lincoln Financial) could be workable maybe.
ReplyDeleteI was told by someone in the know with one of the SEC schools that they've requested no split syndication telecasts. They allowed one during the 1st year of the contract a few years back, but after that they scheduled an extra game to CSS to get around it.
