Not sure if anyone has posted on this before, but i'm pretty sure this new setup is going to piss me off a lot. Being in Canada I don't really get that much choice in what college football games I watch, but usually I get the Ohio State game, since the games usually are shown in most of the north region and canada with the old format. So last weekend I turned on the TV to watch the game assuming it would be the same case, but instead of the ohio state game I got the rutgers game. I know i'll get the game tonight, but does anybody know how they are working the broadcast regions now? It would really suck if I only got the one buckeye game all year. Thanks for any suggestions or help.

Not sure how to answer you over the long term, but we usually post the "Coverage map" pretty early in the week so you can have a look at that and know what ABC games you'll be getting (Although, I'm quite sure it's just a US map, and not Canada.)

Any sports bars you can go to with Sat. coverage?

Yeah I looked at the coverage map last week and it had Ohio State for pretty much the whole North area so I thought I would get it but didn't. I also have sat. at home and didn't get it with that. I might be able to get it at my place at school since the ABC feed we get with our cable is from Detroit, and they usually show the main ABC game unless a Michigan game is at the sametime. Thanks for the help though.
