Question TV (Fox/ESPN)

Does anybody know with certitude how it works?

Specifically in regards to OSU & B1G.

I'm trying to figure out the likely time slot for OSU-PSU.
Sparty-Michigan is the same day.
As is the World Series.

Does FOX always get the first pick from B1G/BIG 12/Pac 14 Menu?
And does their first pick always get relegated to Noon?

Kind Regards.
 
Six year deal runs from 2017-2022. FOX gets the #1 overall each year (no surprise, they have selected The Game every single year) and FOX gets the B1G CCG. Exempting FOX's #1 overall pick, selection order alternates weekly.

Here's what we know about Week 9:

Florida/Georgia is on CBS at 3:30.
North Carolina/Notre Dame is on NBC at 7:30.
World Series Game 4 is on FOX at 8:30.

Michigan/Michigan St and Ohio St/Penn St are available. Also keep an eye on Ole Miss/Auburn, which could low-key be an interesting prime time choice that ESPN will prioritize because of the super-regionality and non-conflict with Notre Dame and say, the Yankees and Dodgers. If the Braves somehow win the NL, that becomes another factor in scheduling decisions.

TL;DR ... way too many variables to even guess where the game could land right now.

If I had to guess, which I would, I'd say OSU/PSU on ABC primetime. ABC is regional so like Dryden said if there's other options like Ole Miss/Auburn or a baseball playoff game, it could be in the same time slot in another region. If PSU is still undefeated and we have 1 loss when that game comes up, it'd be a high Top 10 matchup, maybe even Top 5 so big money for the network who gets it.
