I think it's pretty much been confirmed that only the SEC will play on ABC.

You may see some SEC at ACC home games, but I'll be surprised if any ACC game that doesn't also feature an SEC opponent ever makes it on ABC going forward (ACC championship game notwithstanding, of course.) They only have 3 time slots available on ABC every Saturday; they're not going to play some ACC snooze fest that nobody will watch like Boston College at SMU, even if it's a noon kick, and they're not going to play Clemson or FSU games when they could put Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Florida, Alabama, Auburn, TAMU, Georgia, or whatever other SEC team on instead. Disney didn't lure Texas and Oklahoma away from the Big 12, then agree to pay the SEC basically double on their new contract, just to turn around and schedule ACC games in their OTA broadcast slots.

Very curious to see what CFB games make it to ABC this season

Wk2/3 show more of the same

CBS Just Broadcasted ONE SEC Game Each Week

Been going on 4 about 15 years, remember back then when they trashed ACC 🏈

Wait to see Tony Altimore's revised chart at the end of the year
HouClone 08/22/24 03:49 PM ET
Most of Altimore’s charts are of little value.

Hopefully by the end of the year I'll have my research done to counter it
HokieAl 08/22/24 05:21 PM ET
Look forward to seeing it. If you can somehow factor in
HouClone 08/22/24 07:38 PM ET
All depends on what data is available. I have a possible source in mind**
HokieAl 08/22/24 07:51 PM ET
The Big 10 Network publishes ratings. Perhaps use that as
HouClone 08/22/24 08:18 PM ET
Unfortunatley, ACCN is not in the ratings book**
CobbCountyHokie 08/23/24 04:34 PM ET
Any insight as to why not?

LSU in Vegas is not a home game
HokieAl 08/22/24 03:49 PM ET
Here is why I noted it as an SEC home game
CobbCountyHokie 08/22/24 05:40 PM ET
LSU being listed as the home game IS important
dayooper 08/22/24 05:05 PM ET
That's not different than any other season. SEC spin has been thick
HokieAl 08/22/24 05:19 PM ET
What ACC or Big XII games would you plug in instead?**
Pylons 08/22/24 03:32 PM ET
Let's think this one through. Let's say a 1-loss Clemson comes into Lane
CobbCountyHokie 08/22/24 03:48 PM ET
To answer *your* question, I don't know.
Pylons 08/22/24 03:58 PM ET
Yep. And this early in the season before we have playoff implications,

Baltimore_Hokie 08/22/24 02:37 PM ET
Yep. It's simple, the more that ABC has in its inventory, the more ABC will
