Typically that's the case, yes. This week, ESPN has one fewer BigTen game to show because of off weeks, so they will use an SEC game to fill the slot.
Just wondering - did you mean this weekend or the Alabama/UT weekend ? (I noticed several Big 10 games with no time yet on the UT/Alabama week) I really dont see ESPN wasting that game as a noon start over primetime
I hate a noon game! We usually start tailgatin about 9 and around noon things are gettin good. I like the later game, hopefully TN can have a good game and get the primetime slot with Bama.
UT-Alabama weekend.
Here's the deal for ESPN/ESPN2 that weekend:
ABC, ESPN and ESPN2 will each show a game at noon. Either Virginia Tech-Clemson or BigTen game will air on ABC, while the other will air on ESPN2.
ESPN2 has a game at 3:30, but that can't be an SEC game.
In the primetime window ESPN and ESPN2 aren't set on gametimes. One network will have a single game at 7:45, followed by Sportscenter. The other will have a game at 7:00 and the Oregon State-Utah game at 10:15. The SEC game will be played on ESPN.
Of those open slots, Noon on ESPN, And 7 or 7:45 on ESPN will feature an SEC game. It will be either Noon or primetime.
regardless if it has been on at noon before if it goes on at noon this time it will show just how far we have fallen. it's another insult to the program if they put us on at noon.
40 point blowout.....hahaSo basically it's going to be at noon. Common sense would dictate that they're not going to have LSU/aTm, a game that features two ranked teams, play at noon and then put the UT/Bama game, which is likely to be a 40 point blowout, on in primetime. According to the schedule, UGA/Kentucky are playing at 7:00. Wouldn't that game have made more sense for the noon slot so you could get the big SEC west matchup AND the #1 team in the nation on in primetime?
I thought it was the 3:30 game on CBS, but I think you're correct that it was earlier in the day. Nice recollection!
SC and Fla should be 3:30 CBS
TN and Bama should get Late game on ESPN when was the last time you seen the #1 team playing in the 12:00 time slot.
I feel like after a big win at MSU we will get the 3:30 time slot and Neyland will be rocking! GO VOLS
