I don't think many people outside of Alabama or Kentucky will be watching that ABC game past halftime, if not earlier. I'd expect Alabama to be up like 41-3 at halftime against a mediocre Louisville team without Lamar Jackson.

Are a lot of non-Nebraska fans going to watch our game past halftime when we're up 41-3 at halftime against Akron?

I better have an EMT standing by, just in case.

Fair point. Let me ask this another way. ABC/ESPN has been the king of college football for 20 years, maybe longer. Why did they pick that game as their spotlight prime time game of opening weekend? They should have picked Washington and Auburn. 

Of of all of Alabama's neutral site season openers since Saban took over, this is the biggest mismatch on paper.

And at least with Nebraska it's the chance to see something new and different. (Clearly Alabama's game is going to get better ratings though.)

Now my only question is does this mean we got 0 BTN primetime slots? I thought those were pre selected. I’m actually shocked about that if so.

Looking at all the responses: Michigan fans hate night games. Weird.

The responses I saw were VERY bizarre.  It's college football, man... C'mon!  Night games make for some really epic games.

Michigan is famous for the quietest "biggest" stadium in college football.

Maybe Detroit expands at night all the way to Ann Arbor?

I think the B1G plays morning games is a thing other schools like. Myself, and the rest of non big ten college football fans I think, love night games.

I am over night games.  Give me 2:30...perfect.  Night games are tough when it comes to the pacing of the day, especially if you are going to Lincoln.  

Heck, I even enjoy an 11am game at times but you really have to figure out how to plan it all out.  Most bars don't open until 10am for games and watching games at home is usually pretty boring.

Anymore I think 2:30 is perfect as well.  Gives me an excuse to day drink AND I'll be nice and buzzed for a big prime time game that I'll be way more invested in at that point.
