1. Nobody knows. You should know that by now.
2. When are people going to stop whining about noon games? TV drives this thing. You have to pay those coaches millions with Olive Garden, Altell, and All-State $$$.
3. Here's my best guess just for you 1985:
-ACC games for 11/1/08
Clemson at Boston College
Florida St. at Georgia Tech
Duke at Wake Forest
Miami (FL) at Virginia
-Games ranked by TV preference (right now looking forward):
1. FSU/GT
2. Clemson/BC
3. Duke/Wake
4. Miami/UVa
-Possible and Known TV Slots for ACC games
12:00
JP ACC Game of the Week (1)
ESPN/2/U (0, 1 or 2 games)
3:30
ABC (1)
ESPNU (0 or 1 game)
7:45/8
ESPN2 (0 or 1 game)
ABC regional (possible)
-Game times based on TV (my prediction in bold)
#1 GT/FSU
-Night game: ESPN2 (if one or both ranked) OR
- ABC 3:30 Regional (MOST LIKELY)
#2 Clemson/BC
- ABC 3:30 or ESPN 12:00 OR
- ESPN2 (night if both are ranked - unlikely)
#3 Duke/Wake
- 12:00 JP ACC GOTW most likely choice
#4 Miami/UVa
- ESPNU at 12:00 or 3:30 most likely or No TV
-Overall picture
The GT/FSU game looks like it should be the best game on the schedule for the ACC. The biggest game that weekend by far is the Cocktail Party, although a ranked battle between FSU/GT would make a nice co-heading. For now SC/UT is scheduled for ESPN primetime. Other intriguing games are Neb/Okla, Texas/Texas Tech, and Oregon/Cal (ABC regional likely). I could see Texas/Tex Tech getting an ESPN2 primetime slot.
There is a remote possibility for a Primetime ABC lineup with regional broadcasts with Tex/TT, Oregon/Cal, and GT/FSU. I will count that as highly unlikely and say the most likely option is 3:30 on ABC with Brad Nessler, Bob Griese, and Paul McGuire calling the game.
