Ohio State at Penn State was only ESPN or ESPN2, not ABC/ ESPN. All the other ABC ones were ABC, ESPN, or ESPN2.

some good quality games in there. @gcd I’m not 100% sure but Ive heard 1 home night game possible for Michigan

Utah ST v. Wisconsin??? What a waste of a game. Wisconsin will slaughter those clowns.
