* If ESPN wanted to select Oregon at Utah or have Washington St. at Colorado fall to them, they might look to shift the 7pm window to 6:45pm to allow for the later game to start at 10pm. They would be turning the 3:30pm & 7pm windows into windows slotted for 3 hours and 15 minutes.
* If BTN selects a game ahead of ESPN and leaves Iowa at Illinois to ESPN, it would be a more reasonable candidate for a ESPNEWS telecast.
* I think one American Athletic Conference game airs on ESPNU, hence the potential for an ACC (maybe Florida St. at Syracuse) or Big Ten game on ESPNEWS.
* I don't think a USC win over Washington tonight would affect FOX's second choice. Assuming both Washington St. & Colorado win later in the evening, both would be at the top of their respective divisions, so it would be hard to turn that one down.
* While both Texas & Kansas lost, I don't think this one falls to ESPNU even if it is an option.

Any chance OK @ WVU isn't 8pm ABC/college gameday?
ABC & College Gameday aren't mutually exclusive and I don't really care what game they choose for the pregame show (I'm not a watcher of pregame shows). As for alternatives, are there any based on the list you see above? Note that the Pac-12 seems to be locked to 10-10:30pm ET and the Big Ten games are going to be daytime games.
Washington State v Colorado looks to be the only other potential match-up of top 25 teams. Maybe Clemson wake forest but that seems unlikely after the loss to Pitt.
