Good to see the Nebraska game on ABC this year. Hopefully their return trip next year will also be on ABC.

Primetime B1G/ESPN/ABC: 9-6 Va. Tech at OSU; 9-20 Miami at Neb; 10-4 Neb at MSU; 10-11 PSU at Mich; 10-25 OSU at PSU; 11-1 lll. at OSU

Which one of these is not like the others?

That just shows how difficult it is to find 6 Big Ten games worth showing in prime time (and 2 of the other 5 have ACC opponents)!

It is also in November, though its the first day of the month. Supposedly the Big Ten doesn't play November night games. Have heard they are trying to convince OSU & MSU to move Ohio St. at Michigan St. on 11/8. Not sure if they'll get it done.

BTN has their own set of night games that will be announced next week. Each school is supposed to appear in at least one night game. Not necessarily host one, but appear in one. If the school does not have lights and a game is on BTN, the school picks up the tab. If a night game is on ABC/ESPN, the network picks up the lighting fee if the school doesn't already have lights. This is partially why Purdue has declined to host any night games unless they are on ABC, ESPN or ESPN2.

ESPN also set the kickoff time for the Oklahoma St.-Florida St. game. 8pm ET on ABC.

Thanks, Matt!

I was kidding about the Big Ten (sort of... but much of it IS boring to me)
