Wisconsin-Ohio St. should be a good one! If it’s at night, even more so.
shocked ESPN (ABC) was able to get Notre Dame v Ohio State, as FOX normally has 1st choice of B1G games
Same with OU /Texas.
FOX gets the first pick every year is pretty much guaranteed to use that pick on OSU-UM. That leaves Disney to get the second-best game of every season, which in this case is definitely ND-OSU (in terms of potential viewers and TV attractiveness).
I believe the first pick of the Big XII alternates between FOX and Disney each year, but in this case there’s a better match-up than the RRS, which is Alabama-Texas. Especially for FOX, which never gets a chance to show ‘bama.
Isn’t Texas-Oklahoma always a Noon EST kickoff?
This is exciting!
