Looking on the world wide web, I can't find confirmation one way or the other.

I don't understand the question. By national do you mean, can anyone in the nation watch it? because if so the answer is yes.

Given that the spread will be tree fitty and that there will be other high-relevance games that weekend, no way we are prime time or prime TV. ESPN2 sounds about right.

National, as opposed to regional. Often times ABC will put certain games on in the region they are in. Not sure of the other ABC games, but there are likely two west coast teams playing which will be shown in the west. If you are in NJ, you wouldn't be able to see it on ABC, but you would, if similar to this case, be able to watch it on ESPN.

They do that more for the day games. If it's regional on ABC you will get it on another channel in Cali. You could also fly here and watch it......

Tennessee @ #10 Alabama - ESPN
#9 A&M @ #13 Ole Miss - ESPN
#1 Ohio St. @ Rutgers - ABC or ESPN2

These are the games in that time slot. I could see us getting split with ABC in the Big Ten markets, and ESPN2 in the SEC markets where ABC gets the SEC game not on ESPN. So basically 3 options:

We get ABC national.
We get split with ABC-ESPN2 mirror
We get put on ESPN2.

We will find out on Monday.

SEC home games can't be shown on ABC. One of those 2 games will be on CBS at 3:30 and the other will be ESPN at 7 pm.

The other games to be considered are Clemson/Miami and Florida State/ Ga Tech. It will most likely be a split national game with reverse mirrors. ESPN 2 timeslot is a 7pm kickoff as well, as both ESPN and ESPN2 have late night games that Saturday as well.

I believe the B1G contract with ABC/ESPN requires that if a B1G game is shown on regional ABC channels in part of the country, it has to be shown on an ESPN network in the remainder of the country.

All the best to Shaggy. Make sure you offer water. Once it gets cool the might stop drinking. Could be hydration

There are currently 2 options:

Option A: Everyone in the country gets OSU/RU on ABC
Option B: Part of the country (mainly B1G country) gets RU/OSU on ABC and Miami/Clemson or FSU/GTech on ESPN2. The other part of the country would get Miami/Clemson or FSU/GTech on ABC and gets RU/OSU on ESPN2.

Option A isn't going to happen. But why does anyone care? The game can be seen nationally

The bottom line is that this will be the first time RU appears in an 8 p.m ABC game since the package began airing in 2007.
