If the P12 would win at a higher rate against other conferences, draw a competitive audience, and have perennial playoff success, you will have your earlier start times. Until then, deal with the late starts. It would damage the business of both FOX and ESPN to regularly schedule P12 games in the afternoon.Alan wrote:I agree!

While I agree the Pac 12 needs to win games against other conferences I also think there is a bias towards the SEC. As some have pointed out that when you have like 4 or 5 teams in the top 10 every week it leads to them always being able to say well we lost to a top 10 school. It is a discredit to the other conferences when predominantly most of schools are from the SEC in top 10.

Re: #7 Oregon @ Bye #2 (Nov. 9)
I’m giving you the solution to your complaints. I’m part of the game and start time selection group at FOXSports. We deal with ESPN. Trying to dismiss the points I made is like trying to dismiss gravity by using snark. If you don’t want to know why the games are kicking when they do, by all means be dismissive it’s soooo convincing.Alan wrote:Win more none conference P5 games to get earlier games broadcast........ just like the ACC teams?

Being in the south, its just my opinion that its MASSIVELY hurting the Pac-12 by scheduling games that only a 1/4th of the nation could possibly stay up late enough to watch. For those of you in Oregon, you do realize that the games don't even START until nearly 10:30 at night on the east coast and 9:30 for the south and mid-west? Who is going to stay up to 1am to watch a football game? Yea, like no one, which is why pollsters never see Pac-12 games, they wake up the next morning like the rest of us and check the score in the morning.
