It's rivalry weekend and we will fall down the list quite a bit as far as matchups, we would probably be an 11AM kick or a late slot, I would think

Its also Thanksgiving weekend, and the games typically get spread out amongst Thursday night, Friday and Saturday so there are more TV windows available.

That said, I have no idea.

I'm pretty sure this is already confirmed for Saturday. The Thursday and Friday games are set.

Oh, agreed. But because of the additional tv windows, it's hard to predict the games as a lot more games get the national broadcast that usually would not due to the increased windows.

SMU will likely be ranked and if all goes well for us, we'll look like a potential spoiler + a decent West Coast draw. My hunch is that we end up with the 4 PM kickoff.

It's a crowded day in the ACC:

Pitt at Boston College
South Carolina at Clemson
Florida at Florida State
NC State at North Carolina
California at SMU
Miami (FL) at Syracuse
Virginia at Virginia Tech
Duke at Wake Forest

The usual slate is three windows on ACC Network (9am, 12:30pm, 5pm Pacific), plus one CW (usually 9am, but the most recent announcement had one at 12pm), and then 2 or 3 games spread across ABC or the ESPN networks (could be anywhere from 9am to 7:30pm). That still only gets the conference to 7 games. I know the CW didn't show a game during one of the earlier weeks when the ACC slate was lighter, so I've been wondering if they'll pick up two this week to make up for that (their sublicense agreement gives them access to 13 ACC games total for the season). The CW only has Wyoming-WSU at 6:30pm on this day so would have space for a 9am and then something starting between 12:30-2pm.

As to when the SMU game would start . . . no idea. I'd guess that if SMU keeps winning that game will be an ESPN game but that means it could start at one of several times.

I know it sounds a little crazy, but I'd think a 2-9 FSU vrs a 4-7 Florida still gets the preferred time slot over a 7-4 Cal vrs a Top 10 10-1 SMU team playing for a spot in the ACC title game.

Rivalries trump everything and other games such as
  • Michigan-Ohio State
  • Oregon-Washington
  • Texas-Texas A&M
  • Tennessee-Vanderbilt
  • Indiana-Purdue
  • Notre Dame-SC
  • Louisville-Kentucky
  • Arizona-Arizona State
Put us way down the priority list for that day

But not all rivalries are created equal.
Arizona - ASU would not receive preference over a team playing for a power conference berth.

Half of those games are not in competition with us for spots, though. All of the Big Ten games (including ND-USC) are on Fox/NBC/CBS and not available to ESPN. SEC and Big 12 games are, but you've only identified four and there are a lot more time slots to fill: usually three on ABC, four on ESPN, and three (sometimes four) on ESPN2 on any given Saturday.
