I know CBS screwed themselves, but why isn't Penn St. v. Minn a primetime game

11 am??? Really...

And it's not even Fox's "Big noon" bs. It's on ABC.

So, what is the actual ABC night game? well Clemson v. NC State, of course.

Not a big fan of waking up to a relevant game?

I am likely wrong but I believe both schools had to agree to a night game and also have to work out something with the networks.

Eta: I thought Fox would pick it up as well.

I think the people in Minnesota probably appreciate day games this time of year.

Definitely agree, 11 AM games just don't have the "big game" feel.

Actually it's sunny and no wind...would be pretty good for a game.

I think that’s his point. Day game there is sun. Night game there is not. Much cold

No. That rule was changed several years ago.

There’s no snow? Weather.gov had 40% chance rain/flurries earlier in week.

Nope, that held up at least (there were some flurries earlier during the week).

ABC should show more AAC prime time games. Memphis vs SMU was a great game and entertaining as hell. 10x better than Clemson beating the absolute dog shite out of a crappy team and Dabo running with “aw shucks” act, which is what we have tonight.

Rowing the boat works better during the day.

They amended it to allow night games in November but only if the home team agrees to it. Minnesota said no to it, so it had to be a day game. It’s on ABC because ESPN, not Fox, had the “first pick” of B1G games this week. Thus they picked the penn state Minnesota game.

So about the 10 minute mark of the first?

If CBS had a prime time game tonight it would be LSU/ Bama. 2 vs 3 is a huge game. 4 vs 18 is just a regular game. Not anything great even though the Gophers are 8-0. If you are 8-0 and ranked 18 you have played no one.
