What's dumb is that if any of these channels moved to the 330 slot, they'd be the premiere game and probably have better viewership

Awful. I can't stand this. They've known these are huge games all off season.

This seems to be happening too often. I don't understand how it benefits the TV companies or their sponsors either.

Especially the games on ESPN and ABC.
Competing with themselves.

3 competing networks in sat primetime
I'm surprised ABC and ESPN didn't adjust time for the 2 they have.

Disney is stupid for competing against themselves.

The main one I don't get is ESPN putting Auburn/Clemson and Ohio State/Oklahoma against each other.

One of those could easily have been played at 3:30 and it would have had the entire nation's attention. I'd probably flip back to that game every other play of the Alabama/Fresno game.

Stanford and USC should have been 9:00pm
UGA ND should have been a 3:30 or 5pm game
