* FOX appears to have moved around some of their telecast windows. A 12pm ET window on the broadcast network now appears in place of a 4pm ET game and most FOX RSNs are only listing one game at 3:30pm ET, which should be an ACC game. FS1's nighttime window has also moved up 30 minutes to 8:30pm ET. FS1 is listed as carrying ALCS Game 2 in the afternoon.
* With FOX carrying a 12pm game, it virtually assures it to be a Big 12 game.
* While Ole Miss did lose, I expect the game vs. Memphis to get a decent telecast slot. Felt that a reverse mirror with a Big 12 game was warranted.
* Western Michigan at Ohio was listed by CSN Chicago as a 12pm game. It could be the MAC's ASN game.
* Iowa at Northwestern, Purdue at Wisconsin (both at 12pm) & Rutgers at Indiana (3:30pm) are locked into their start times, as is Penn St. at Ohio St. on either ABC or ESPN at 8pm
* I believe it is possible to move one of the 7pm ESPN or ESPN2 telecast windows to 8pm and remove the 10:15pm or 10:30pm window that would follow it. Maybe one of the Mountain West games would end up on ESPN3, or on ESPNEWS with an American game on ESPN3.
* If a six day hold is used, I could see it being used on the Big 12 with Oklahoma at Kansas St., West Virginia at Baylor and maybe TCU at Iowa St.

No Big Ten 3:30 window on ABC?
It isn't required. I put a 3:30pm game on ESPNU. Multiple Saturdays last year where Big Ten didn't have ABC 3:30pm game.
Oh okay...I was assuming UM-MSU would be at 3:30
Doesn't Fox have to hold time slots for both an afternoon and evening ALCS game because MLB won't determine the respective time slots for the AL and NL games until the teams are known?
@Darrell - It is possible they were told in advance what their "planned" times would be. Its possible they'll change and FOX will have to adjust for FS1 again. MLB may have already told TBS and FOX that each LCS's Game 1 would be at night. ALCS Game 1 is listed for Friday night on FOX & the NLCS doesn't start until Saturday.
