Does anyone know how they determine the start time of these games? Why is the game in Pittsburgh a 940pm (local time) while the game in Salt Lake was an AM start locally?

They have hotels in Pittsburgh.

Lots of $$$$$, unless GoBuckeyes1047 wants to stay at a Red Roof Inn.

Pretty sure it had something to do with Oregon beating South Carolina. These games were scheduled for a 1:00/3:30 start when I checked on Thursday. Went to buy tickets on Friday until I saw the start time was bumped to 7:00 and 9:40.

The game times aren't decided until after all the games are complete (or the last game is near-complete). They always come out around midnight.
Whichever site had a 7/9:40 start on Thursday for Saturday's games had incorrect information, as that information wasn't decided yet. The networks decide it - and they need to see the conclusion of the 1st round games before finalizing their picks.

The site was Ticketmaster and they didn't have a 7/9:40 start time on Thursday. The start times were around 1/3:30 when I checked on Thursday. Figured I could probably get cheaper tickets if I waited until Friday after four of the teams lost and people were trying to unload their tickets. When I checked Friday afternoon, the start times were listed as 7/9:40.
