Dont think we will have 4 primetime abc games. Mich state 11, OSU 230, Colorado 5 FOX, WIscy hopefully 1100.

Yeah you're probably right on the ABC part, I just didn't know who to put them with for a channel. I do think we will have 4 Primetime games though.

Frost is a BIG ticket right now. Nebraska always gets ratings and we do have some marquee names on our schedule.

It's not that unfathomable.

Shoot, we had 4 or 5 last year, right?

We will probably get one on ABC a couple on ESPN and one on BTN for sure. 

PS if Wisconsin and Mich State are both at 11:00 AM I will punch someone in the nuts.

I want wiscy to be an 1100 game.  Better chances to go into camp randle in the morning than at night.   Msu at night would be cool.

I dont know that this is all that unplausible. The Michigan-Nebraska game, as it is in so many ways, is key. If those two teams are undefeated, I can see massive hype for that game.

The West games, partly by virtue of so many being at home, are very winnable games. Nebraska has to win those to sell the myth of Frost, and that can lead to these pretty evenly spaced big games being in good TV spots. It would be further helped if the Big Ten as a whole can sell itself as the marquee conference this season, which I believe it can.

Michigan will be a night game, both could be undefeated and if Mich is, they will be top 10, and the huskers will beat em :P

My money is on Colorado and Wisconsin being late games.  Maybe Iowa if we are rolling in with 8 wins and they don't totally suck which I expect them to.

My only absolute requirements for the season are that Wisconsin, Colorado and Michigan State are not 11:00 AM kickoffs. 2:30 or later and I’ll be happy. The later the better.
