Since there's really only 2 games worth a damn, for revenue's sake wouldn't it make sense to have them at separate times? Like it seems ABC and ESPN wouldnt' want the Michigan and OSU games both at 3:30 since it'd draw viewers away from each one.

I know we're talking about the OSU/MSU game, but looking at teh Michigan game...is it really likely that they'd be relegated to noon?

That would make the most sense, but ESPN/ABC doesn't think logically sometimes. They're trying to capitalize on getting the most viewers for each game. Most people are going to be watching after 3:30 so if they put the two biggest games on then, they're going to get more casual viewers for both games than if they put one at 12.

This doesn't consider the hard-core viewer, which nationally, there aren't that many.

ESPN does this all the time. Week 3, they're putting USC-Stanford at the same time as Alabama-Ole Miss. Morning games suck (Illinois at North Carolina best matchup)
