* Both FOX and CBS will have doubleheaders. The CBS doubleheader allows them to take the top two SEC games this week. Both of their games are exclusive telecast windows, so any SEC games on ESPN, ESPN2 or ESPNU will air at 12pm ET. SEC Network's games can air in their normal windows of 12pm, 4pm and 7:30pm ET.
* Four Big Ten games are locked into their start times, either as homecoming games or as night games: Illinois at Purdue (12pm), Wisconsin at Maryland (3:30pm), Michigan St. at Nebraska (7pm) and Ohio St. at Minnesota (8pm).
* CBS Sports Network has a pair of 12 day selections on 11/7. One is for a MAC game (12pm) and one for the American Athletic Conference (7:30pm).
* My thinking on placing Florida St. at Clemson at 3:30pm instead of primetime is to get it away from LSU at Alabama and Ohio St. at Minnesota. I would have placed TCU at Oklahoma St. at 3:30pm also, but with the Pac-12 Network window at 8pm, I think the Big 12 will have the evening slot on FOX.
* To me, there isn't a standout Pac-12 game, especially with the loss by Utah. Might see a six day hold here by FOX and/or ESPN.
* I am aware that a Pitt student email suggested a start time of Notre Dame at Pittsburgh for 6pm, but their isn't an advertised telecast window for that time. Having a window at that time on ESPN or ESPN2 means there likely isn't a 3:30pm window on one of those channels.

Where's BYU vs. Missouri from Arrowhead? It is part of the SEC tv contract.

My bad. I got confused because of BYU's bye this week. Sorry about that.
why would CBS have a exclusive windows? that hurts ESPN pretty big
Ummm....that's the point. They paid to have their game be the highlight game. Used to be the only SEC game on during a 2-3 hour period pre-SEC Network
