Those are all some really big games I wonder how many will be put up against “fox big noon”

the thing about the "big noon" slot is that the big 10 as a whole had SO few actaully legit, elite matchups that they had to do something. When they got one of those very rare big time matchups that happen so inrequently, going against the SEC's 3:30 slot would make it get lost in teh shuffle so they put it in the early slot instead to make sure they got the nation's eyeballs just on them.

The SEC doesn't have that problem. There are SO MANY big time mathcups that the SEC isn't ever going to have to say "man we are losing so much market share to the Big 10, we're going to ahve to do somethign to compete with them at noon let's put the UGA/Bama [just using that as a hypothetical] game early to compete wiht them".

Sure you're going to get the occasional big time matchup at noon kinda randomly but we aren't ever going to see all the big time games each week get stuck at noon opposed to 330/night.
