Okie State game time?

I hate how college football usually waits until relatively the last minute to announce game times, but there always seems to be somebody around here who understand how the method works and give pretty good odds as to when the game will end up starting....

Times are determined on Monday the week before a game, unless there's some sort of weird ESPN thing (like for a Thursday night showing) at stake. So the time will be determined on the 17th.

That week's slate is pretty good despite the byes for 3 teams:
Tech at ISU
TCU at SMU (FSN)
BU at WVU
Texas at OK St.

Since we already know that the SMU home game counts as a C-USA tie-in, it doesn't count against the Big 12 to have 3 games, so it definitely won't be on LHN. Smiley faces for people stuck on TWC, Dish, etc.

If the conference was to get a regional prime time game, that would definitely be BU vs. WVU. Two high-scoring teams with nothing to lose (well, less to lose for BU) makes for a great pickup. However, I'm kind of hoping that since it's Eastern time zone, they'd throw it on the early or midday ABC spot. Doubt that would happen.

No one cares where Tech/ISU goes. Might as well be on FX at whatever hour they want, because it's not going to get watched.

I think we end up with the ABC regional game at 2:30 p.m. We're Central time zone so it wouldn't make much sense for a 11:00 start time with hardly any other conference games on that week. Outside chance of a prime time game if either BU or WVU lose before then.

I've seen it listed at 6:30 on FOX but the schedule says tentative.
