Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 5562561, member: 5685"] Kinda jealous that the PAC will have their game times before the season starts. When you think of it, you could do the same for the ACC too. ESPN can keep the SEC on the two week window to fill any holes. For example looking at the next two weeks... 11-15 ND at Pitt- this is one of the few ESPN owned ND games. So it makes sense preseason to have this noon on either ABC or ESPN. NC State at Miami- this was a solid game and makes sense for the 330 ESPN/2 games. GA Tech at BC- this had ACCN written all over it. Probably a good idea to make it 330 and the best of this and Miami gets ESPN/2 while the worse of the two gets ACCN. UVA at Duke- preseason this is ACCN or CW. But now it has some juice. Still not a big loss making this an ACCN game vs ESPN2 like it ended up being. BTW for ACC fans having three games on during the same window stinks. UNC at Wake- another ACCN or CW matchup. VA Tech at FSU- preseason this seems like the most intriguing game of the day. So you make it 730. If it is good then you get on ESPN/2 and if it is bad ACCN. 11-22 Miami at VA Tech- good game on paper preseason. Now not so much. I think noon with the plan of ABC/EPSN. Pitt at GA Tech- this preseason is a ACCN/CW game. Unless Pitt beats ND, I think it still is that type of game. The problem is you already have 3 even worse games for the ACCN to take. Louisville at SMU- preseason the game of the day so make it 730. If pans out ESPN/2 and if not ACCN. Duke at UNC- see Pitt/GA Tech. I think these two games make sense to both be 330 with the better of the two on ESPN/2. Delaware at Wake- noon or 330 ACCN Furman at Clemson- noon or 330 ACCN/CW Cal at Stanford- 330 or 730 ACCN There isn't a lot of difference IMO between these games. ESPN wouldn't be missing out by having the conference game times set preseason. The SEC owns the 330 ABC time slot. Very few ACC games are worthy of the ABC night game. Really noon is the only place the ACC can break through to ABC. You pretty much know before the season who the best TV draw will be for that noon game. FSU and Clemson ratings this year prove that it isn't about Ws and Ls. [/QUOTE]
