Wouldn't be surprised if the 2-3 ND primetime games goes down to 1 or so. Just seems like NBC can make more $$ by showing ND marque game in the 3:30 slot, and then a generic Big 10 game, vs putting that ND marque game in primetime, but only having 1 game for that Saturday.

A lot of Big 10 fans are worried that since ESPN has game day / exclusive rights to the playoff, it's going to be add more bias to their coverage, but the next playoff deal won't just be ESPN, and it'll be an expanded field, so that shouldn't be a big deal.
Yeah it will be interesting to see how it plays out. My understanding is that the 3 networks are basically "drafting" their games with Fox getting first pick every year (that will almost certainly be used to pick Ohio State v Michigan every year). So I'm sure NBC will pick with at least one eye on the Notre Dame schedule (if you are picking between Michigan State v Michigan and Ohio State v Penn State, and one of them is on the same day as Notre Dame vs Clemson and the other is on the same day as Notre Dame vs UNLV then I'm sure that influences which is more valuable to you).

Or maybe games are picked before dates are even announced and each network will even get a say in the dates.

    We won't even know for 2 more years, since the CBS portion of the deal doesn't start until 2024 I believe (as they have the SEC for 2022 and 2023).

    Edit: CBS will actually broadcast 7 games in 2023, then 14-15 annually

    Man those 3:30 CBS kickoffs featuring the B1G are going to be clutch for mid-afternoon naps.

    You'd think fans of SEC schools would watch ESPN at that time.

    ESPN is looking like it'll be paying 500 million per year to the SEC starting in 2024, and the Big Ten deals are seemingly over a billion per year, so interesting to see what that does to the sport. Looks like ESPN got a good deal.

    Man I admit that it did not occur to me CBS would still be using their music with the B1G. That will take some getting used to.

    My concern will be the apps used to stream these games. I have ESPN+ and really like it, especially on Saturdays. The FOX, CBS, and NBC apps do not perform nearly as well in my opinion and they are adding more games so that’ll be interesting how they handle that.

    Are you using someone else's cable login to access these apps or something?

    I have Youtube TV and so should be able to surf across the broadcast networks pretty easily.

    The Fox Sports streaming app is pretty solid. Haven’t used the others that much, but ESPN+ is definitely the standard bearer.

    I have both Peacock and Paramount + (CBS parent company) for soccer purposes and have found them reliable. I feel like once they are asking you to pay for them they have to make them work. The NBC and CBS TV Anywhere apps are intended more as bonus apps for paying cable customers and so aren't as high of quality.

    But game surfing is annoying when the games you are interested in are on 3 different apps. No quick way to change the channel.

    UT names Ewers starting QB despite reports that Card was out-performing him in camp. Those boosters aren't paying Ewers that much just to let him sit on the bench.

    Last year Card was named the starter, got an easy tune-up win then got destroyed by Arky and benched.

    This year the schedule is a tune-up game, then Alabama.

    I'm not sure what the better choice is, let Card suffer the same fate he did last year and crush his spirit when you put Ewers in. Or to let Ewers, who isn't ready, just get a trial by fire.

    There has been a lot of fall tour rumors, I think the idea is to support a new album but not sure on that aspect. If there's a fall tour I'm going to try to make it to MSG for the first time.

    I think PSU is being a little underrated this year. They have Clifford back (...again, again), who when healthy has been solid. I think they'll win 9 or 10 games with a pretty tough schedule.

    I hate, hate, hate they open the season on the road Thursday night at Purdue. That's going to be a tough game to win.

    I think they'll beat Michigan who I believe is pretty overrated.

    Fall tour has been confirmed by solid sources. Whether or not it supports an album is another story.

    I agree on Michigan State and Penn State. I don't really think either of them has a case for starting the season at #15 but I definitely think Penn State is more likely to be 3rd best in the division than Michigan State.

    Texas is going to need to earn the right to ever be called underrated.

    I'd add Oregon to the overrated category.

    Did I miss the annual Ohio State is overrated / Penn State is closing the gap post from you this season? (I do give you props for starting Ohio State would have 2 Ls last season though). And I do agree with you that Penn State should be ranked higher. Michigan has such a soft non conference, their record is going to make them look better than they are.

    I think TAMU is overrated, and Clemson is underrated. Clemson might have the best defense in the country. I think Alabama might be underrated too - their team is just so good too.

    Clemson has so much defensive talent but I just wonder what Venables was worth and how much the output can be replicated without him. It just feels like Dabo's whole thing has been built on consistency and stability among his coaching staff and even prior to Venables leaving there have been signs of that cracking.

    It obviously wouldn't surprise me to see them rebound and make the playoff with that crazy amount of talent on paper, but it also wouldn't surprise me at all if they didn't.

    I forget that Texas has sucked for over 10 years. A decade. Damn. I keep thinking it's been like 5-7 years then I remember Colt McCoy was 2009.

    Nah. OU might not be as down as initially expected when Lincoln left, but we're not gonna be that elite. Tons of turnover and new faces, inevitable to drop a few. If there's gonna be a year for UT to live up to their hype and win the Big 12, UT better take advance of this transition year for OU.

    The Big 12, imo, is just so weak, that Oklahoma might just accidently go 11-1 / 12-0.

    Usually a surprise for one of the teams in the playoff.

    Texas is going to need to earn the right to ever be called underrated.

    I'd add Oregon to the overrated category.

    I think TAMU is overrated, and Clemson is underrated. Clemson might have the best defense in the country. I think Alabama might be underrated too - their team is just so good too.

    Oregon and A&M were both teams I had next up to add to the overrated list, agreed. Same goes for Bama to the underrated list, somehow even being #1.

    I feel like Michigan St relied so heavily on Kenneth Walker last year and he really won them games and still feel like there were little fluky of a top 15 team last season.

    As far as Ohio St this season, I have a really tough time going against Stroud, Henderson and JSN. They are loaded this year on offense, and with any successful Ohio St offense, if you have a good power run game it makes the passing game that much better. That's really the key to making their offense so good. With Henderson they have that guy they need.

    Of note, my son has started the club soccer circuit so my actual live CFB game watching is going to take a major hit this year. But I'll still yuk it up with you all during work hours.
