I'm a little uncertain what the networks will do with the B1GW4 teams. I don't know if BTN will carry 10:30 ET starts. We'll get a good idea week 1 when both have games that will almost assuredly be on BTN.

FOX is getting 3 games of Washington State and Oregon State, according to reports, so my guess is they will get the Civil War, Apple Cup and then the Oregon State vs. Wazzu game to end the year.

I think FOX gets to select the first 3 games of the year before they start drafting, and my guess is they take Michigan vs. Ohio State(duh), Texas at Michigan(duh), and Alabama at Wisconsin. That last one is certainly up for debate because there will be a lot of great B1G games, but how often does FOX get to broadcast an Alabama game? Outside of the game against Texas in 2022, not very often. NBC once again will get screwed, considering how much money they spent. At least there's no Charlotte vs. Maryland or Purdue vs. Syracuse on the schedule like last year. So at least there is an upgrade.

If ND vs. Purdue is the CBS week 2 game, it would be ND's first game on CBS since 2019, and their first on CBS against a B1G opponent since playing on CBS against Michigan in 1990.
 


B1G times and Networks starting to trickle in.

I'm guessing this means PSU vs. WVU is the Big Noon game on FOX in week 1. And I guess Akron @ Ohio State for CBS?
 
Saturday, September 7th:

Norhern Illinois at Notre Dame - 3:30 | NBC
Colorado at Nebraska - 7:30 | NBC
 


FOX's first 3 selections. Not surprised. Those three games combined could top 40 million viewers.

Shame I am going to miss the IU @ UCLA game on NBC. Most of the crap games are on the cable networks. There will be more people at the beach that day than at the Rose Bowl. B1G Oversaturation.

as a fan who will be attending the game in Ann Arbor I can't wait to stop fucking with BiG schools.. This is UTs first game ever there and they place it at noon.. should be 3:30 at the very least or preferably in prime time. Just not me who feels this way, other UM fans agree with it..

And I understand how WI fans are feeling about this too.. Bama walks in and they too kick off at noon. I get why they are doing it, but I HATE it..

I barely made the kickoff at 11 am local time vs Bama a couple years ago.. last year it felt 100 times more exciting being able to take in tailgates and the bars near the stadium before th 6pm kickoff.

Fuck FOX, just one more season to put up with this bullshit.. u know they will pickup UT at tosu next year knowing ARCH will be behind center..

You'll be at michigan so thankfully you won't miss much here

That was just a guess. Has not been confirmed yet. I can't imagine NBC would show something different, but they did put Charlotte vs. MD on NBC in primetime last year, so who knows.

Yeah, I understand a lot of people don't like the Noon games. I actually prefer them to be honest. Historically, Noon games have been garbage, before Fox started doing this. Now we should get a great game at Noon, 3:30 and 7:30 across all Networks.

I don't mind it when it's my team as much either, even when it's a big game. Hate being nervous all day lol.

IMO nothing beats waking up on a cool fall morning, dumping whiskey into my coffee, and making something on the smoker.

Turn on GameDay, get shit done around the house, sit on my ass from Noon - 3:30. ND rarely has Noon games though, which stinks.

Same here, minus GameDay. Switched to the Fox Sports iteration. It's been refreshing actually hearing about football and not the human interest fluff pieces and nonsense on GameDay.

I check out FOX's every once in a while. It'll be interesting what happens this year. If GameDay becomes to SEC centric, I'm gonna check out.
