Week 10 kick times and network designations

Some of those times make no sense. How is the Nov 2 osu vs state penn game 2 v 3 or 4 at noon?!? That’s clearly the marquee game that day!?

That's not a new thing. That's been Fox's Big Noon strategy for quite a few years now. They put their marquee games in that slot and it's worked for them.

But that specific game at night would kill the ratings…

On BTN? Sell it to ESPN/ABC or CBS? I don't think Fox does an 8pm primetime game.

And even if they did move it, what do you do with USC vs Washington? 9am Pacific?

agreed.. tough spot.. but all these networks need to pick the best games when it is their turn to pick... even if it presents less than ideal conflicts in time slots. I'm sure the guys selling FOX ad spots are happy to have both. I'd also guess the adsales data might show a difference between who advertises at night rather than day games.

Watching State Penn fans melt down on "X" over the noon kick brings me joy.

I'm going to that game. Happier that it's noon than 7:30.
