[Achowalogan]

What are the chances Indiana is a Big Noon game?

Depends on how many Cigs are left in the pack come game time.

Probably better than 50 percent. Especially if Cignetti really has turned around the Hoosier ship. If not…

Oregon-I0wa is really the only other competition. If selected, then I would think 330 and 730 would be in play.

OSU @ Purdont
UDubs@ Sconnie
Nebraska @ UCLA
Twerps @ Buttgers

Michigan is off, as is Sparty.
USC-NW is Friday night.

Keep in mind that the networks rotate who selects first, so that might not even be a weekend that Fox is getting first dibs.

Duly noted. But Fox will pick first more often than not as the primary network partner. I’m sure they will be watching NBC on the evening of 9/27, as that may be a primary factor in determining Big Noon on 11/8. Indiana’s follow-up to their historic 2024 will be another determining factor. It’s possible that since PSU will be on Big Noon the week before, and may well be very highly ranked coming off a victory in C-Bus, we would get another Nooner. Heck, UM and OSU have practically lived on Big Noon.

Man do I hate Big Noon. Sometimes teams like Colorado had to play at 10 AM local time for the Big Noon slot. It would be so much better if the top game of the day was at 3:30 pm Eastern, or even 1pm Eastern. I understand that I am just yelling at clouds here, but I cannot stand Big Noon taking the top game of the week for much of the season.

It doesn't matter - all networks are equally out to screw over PSU.
