Have to think a good one. 6-2 hosting likely undefeated OSU.
Now we wait for timeslot RU vs OSU
- Thread starter RuSnp
- Start date
7:30. ESPN. GameDay makes its first appearance On The Banks.
Might as well think big.

I think you might be right. It looks like NBC Saturday Night was set preseason (Michigan versus Purdue). Maybe there is flexibility?
That's how Fox does it...they like having their big/main game at noon.
Definitely flexibility as that game could be flexed, but I believe NBC has the 3rd puck, and I’d assume we will be one of first two picks (cbs also has a 12 window that week which would be a possibility)
Yup. And it works as it’s the most viewed block of the day. This is what we should want (may have FOX kickoff in campus too)
I do like the Saturday night thing on NBC though. Place would be juiced.
Night games are always special at RU..sure. But with the new tv deal, night games aren’t usually the marquee games anymore, unfortunately
most likely going to higher match ups.....Wash vs USC, LSU vs Alabama, Ga vs Missouri (if Mizzou is still ranked) ....
Yea. I think FOX big kickoff has a realistic chance at being on campus though
Would be huge. Our chance to show we can be big time.
Pack the stadium early. Open lots early. Big ten football!!
This.
Though bedlam is that week too. I can see fox putting that at noon leading into OSU vs RU at 4.
Bunch of options
DO NOT want noon because our fans are late arriving.
4 you guarantee a packed house and great atmosphere
4 you guarantee a packed house and great atmosphere
I get the sense that TV scheduling nowadays begins with whoever gets first crack at Colorado, and then we go from there.
Would Fox book Oregon St. @ Colorado, at 10:00 AM local time?
Rhetorical question. Of course they would. But WILL they?

New prediction from me..
With PSU being on cbs next week, doubt cbs will show them again on the 4th.
So Maryland psu to fox at noon or 4, Rutgers and OSU will be the cbs game at noon..to lead into an sec doubleheader

I think there is a Fox 3:30 slot available as well as the NBC prime time slot per MattSarz website
Not as good as fox, and will likely get cbs’s C team…but anything is better than big ten net
NBC is still available. But OSU is playing on nbc next week and the week following our game. So I’m not optimistic they’ll pick OSU, if the game is even still available
It won't be BTN. That is certain. BTN is the default network if none of the paying customers want the game. One of them surely will.
NBC or any network ...would put UM, OSU and PSU on consecutive weeks if the game was available to them based on the contract of available slots and pecking order......
But we don’t know the pecking order. Seems first pick rotates between the networks in the B1G media deal.
No idea how it will shake out but CBS has a noon Big Ten game on 11/4. So that's a possibility.
I think 7:30 p.m. on NBC is unlikely. Ohio State is the primetime game in NBC next Saturday at Wisconsin and also 11/11 vs Michigan State. I know it's Ohio State but I don't see them being the primetime NBC game three straight weeks.
those noted nbc games are selected in advance and based around ND games being on ACC network/abc.....
washington vs usc is a great PAC 12 game so fox will probably want that at 7:30 slot...also need to consider colorado vs a ranked Oregon St team that will be in prime time consideration...
so osu vs ru at noon seems most likely...
cbs noon slot would be fine with PSU vs MD ... Nebraska VS MSU ...
You know the lots open whenever you get there, right? The policy may say 5 hours for this absolutely not 5 hours
