This post will be updated as announcements come out for start times for 11/14 from the twelve day selection process that most TV networks adhere to. Most conferences have the possibility of having all or part of their games held for a six day hold of the start time.
The list of available TV windows are based on media websites, TV listings and press releases. They can change based on the needs of the broadcaster or the conference.
Here's what I guessed based on the available openings (they will prove to be incorrect), along with the games that have already been set.
Here's the deal - I don't really have a great handle as to the TV slots that are open as some networks aren't providing accurate listings by the time this post is written. What I'll do is list the windows that I've found and the games not yet set for TV, then add windows & reorder them by time as they're announced. That way you'll see the list of games set for TV along with the one(s) you're waiting on. Just don't be alarmed if network X isn't listed with any games here and you don't see any from that network for the games that have already been set.

Games to be slotted
ugh gotta love these holds lol
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the most likely ESPN scenarios are:
ReplyDelete1. ACC games at noon and 3:30 on ABC, push Indiana-Michigan St to ESPN2 and Wake Forest-UNC to ACCN at noon.
2. One of the ACC games at 3:30 on ABC and the other at noon or 4:00 on ACCN, with Indiana-Michigan St on ABC and Wake Forest-UNC on ESPN2 at noon.
All of that assumes that FOX is running three games and thus have two of the Pac-12 selections, and that ESPN is going to run a late night Pac-12 game on ESPN2. Also assumes that ACCN is only getting two games.
It's a joke of the lack of Big Ten games on FOX/ABC this season, especially FOX, compared to the Big 12 and Pathetic 12. Our ratings are higher than any other conference other than the SEC who is limited OTA to CBS. Are they punishing us for our late start? Then again the Pac-12 started late and they got 2 games on Nov. 7 while the Big Ten got one and it looks like they will get multiple games on Nov. 14 while the Big Ten will get just one.
ReplyDelete1 or 2. Wisconsin-Michigan guaranteed. Indiana-Michigan State less certain.
DeleteAlso, many of these conferences gave their TV partners either enough games or nearly enough so that they still have to try to fill requirements like a specific number of night games or games on broadcast TV.
