Are all of these going to be released 2 weeks out? Can I assume that at least Miami of Ohio and NDSU are going to be 11 AM kickoffs.....?
 
sup lincoln? nolookpass still talks about you on halo quite often, you should stop by over there and say hi
 
I don't think you can assume that. They very well might be 11:00, but BTN has done 2:30 games the last few years. North Texas was a 2:30 game last year. The NDSU game is going to be a pretty big one.
 
Night games, both ABC and BTN, will be announced in April.

Agreed with Cliff Clavin that the broadcast windows are wide open and you can't assume "buy games" are 11am.
 
I also think the NDST game will get some attention and could see it being a night game on BTN
 
My random guesses at times:

Miami 11a
ISU 230p
NDST 6p BTN
NW 11a (homecoming)
Wisky 230p
Michigan 7p ABC
Neb 230p
 
Miami 11:00 AM on BTN
Iowa State 2:30 PM on FOX
NDSU 2:30 PM on BTN
Rutgers 11:00 AM on ESPN2 with beautiful Beth Mowins
Northwestern 11:00 AM on ESPN2 with Beth Mowins
Minnesota 2:30 PM on BTN
Purdue 11:00 AM on BTN
Wisconsin 2:30 PM on ESPN/ABC
Penn State 7:30 PM (if white-out game) on ESPN/ABC
Michigan 7:30 PM on ABC, College Gameday possibly
Illinois 11:00 AM on BTN
Nebraska 2:30 PM on ABC
 
Miami 11:00 AM on BTN
Iowa State 2:30 PM on FOX
NDSU 2:30 PM on BTN
Rutgers 11:00 AM on ESPN2 with beautiful Beth Mowins
Northwestern 11:00 AM on ESPN2 with Beth Mowins
Minnesota 2:30 PM on BTN
Purdue 11:00 AM on BTN
Wisconsin 2:30 PM on ESPN/ABC
Penn State 7:30 PM (if white-out game) on ESPN/ABC
Michigan 7:30 PM on ABC, College Gameday possibly
Illinois 11:00 AM on BTN
Nebraska 2:30 PM on ABC

I doubt Fox will carry this game. Likely ESPN or BTN.

Agree with most of this, although my guess is Penn State is a 2:30 kick and the game against Rutgers is a night game on BTN.

I don't think Iowa-NDSU will get the primetime treatment, but 2:30 seems more likely than 11.

I expect Minnesota to be 2:30 or later. More often than not they like to have afternoon games when they host us. But watch it be one of the first 11 am kicks announced for next year.

Purdue and Illinois will probably be 11am, though occasionally when we've played in Champaign in the past we've gotten the 2:30 slot.

Penn State will be interesting. Probably depends on how both teams are doing. That could be just about any time slot.

Rutgers is a solid 11 am kick, unless they plan on trumping up this game for no reason, like some lower tier teams in the conference have done with Iowa. In that case it could wind up later with Rutgers doing all sorts of game week propaganda to try to work their fanbase into a frenzy about trying to beat Iowa. I say this only because it's happened before with other schools, and this is our first-ever meeting with Rutgers...........................otherwise, it'll just be your ordinary, everyday, average 11 am kick on BTN or ESPN2.
 
Yeah something tells me that we won't have temps in the 60's most November days....

True but for my money weather has very little to do with it. The wrestling meet and the game were great environments. If you dress accordingly it's not cold. This coming from a guy who went to Iowa-Michigan in 2013 and that was without the aid of fireball. :)
