What in the hello is ABC/ESPN waiting for to decide which platform gets the ABC game or ESPN one for this Saturday. I would be shocked to see BYU get ABC two weeks in a row. ABC used to do regional games and you got different ABC games depending where you lived. Is that what they are doing this week between WA @ BYU or UCF @ Pitt? It's Tuesday already and still I see nothing.

ESPN lists both UW-BYU and UCF-Pitt games as ABC/ESPN2 in the 1:30pm ET timeslot. This means that part of the country will see BYU-UW on ABC and UCF-Pitt on ESPN2, while the other part will see the opposite. They haven't released the ABC/ESPN2 coverage map yet, but the dividing line is likely to be somewhere near the Mississippi River. So, BYU fans out West and in Texas should plan to watch the BYU game on ABC again!

Interesting that Detroit area gets UCF vs Pitt, while ALL the rest of Michigan gets the WA vs BYU game. Somehow, if they were going to carve out areas of the map, if I had the decision, I would have carved out Tennessee to the WA vs. BYU game. I'm sure their still trying to feel better about themselves and every win BYU has, especially over ranked opponents, makes them feel all the more better. Believe me, I feel their pain (Puketah)

I think Detroit gets BYU on ABC.
The green area in Michigan looks like it is just the greater-Toledo broadcast area. Detroit is farther North and East.

I didn't magnify the area and you appear correct. Then even more, I'm sure the Toledo populous, that are U of Toledo fans, would rather see a future opponent that someone from the AAC or ACC. That's MAC country. But...I'm a little interested in seeing UCF to get a gauge for what kind of team they are as they are leading the competition for that NY6 bowl game.
