* Would not be surprised to see ESPN continue their trend of grouping games into time slots and determine network selection six days in advance. Pretty sure it allows networks to stay away from using a six day pick when kickoff time is determined. My guesses, for now, will continue to slot games into a specific network.
* ACC RSNs will have a doubleheader
* Pac-12 Network only has one game window scheduled and selected Oregon-Colorado before the season started. Just matching them up.
* Illinois-Nebraska, Michigan St.-Iowa, Minnesota-Michigan and Ohio St.-Northwestern are all Big Ten homecoming games that had their kickoff times set before the season started.
* Of the ESPN3 games that could get kicked up to ESPNEWS, I think Rutgers-SMU has the best chance.

Looking at the manner in which the Pac-12 teams are scheduled for this day, it seems skewed toward the late night hours (10:30 PM ET). Looking at the proposed picks for the Fox and ABC prime time games, it would make sense if one of the broadcast networks take the Washington-Stanford matchup since both teams will likely be undefeated going into the game and are both in the Top 20. For Fox, this would be much better matchup for this slot than TCU-Oklahoma or Kansas State-Oklahoma State; this would be slightly better matchup than Georgia Tech-Miami for the ABC 8 PM slot. Feel free to add your thoughts.
I agree, bur both nets have scheduled late evening windows. They themselves have skewed it towards the late evening.
