Ohio State is a early game, I just have not seen any listings to what network it's on, espn/espn2 or Big Ten Network
Texas is still in pretty good shape at #4. Granted they don't control their destiny anymore, but teams have overcome close losses to still reach the NC.
If thats so, then the listing at hdsportsguide is incorrect.
After looking at the Ball State schedule the game is actually on WED. night
Jimbo
Northern Illinois-Ball St is indeed on ESPN2 at 7pm ET on Wednesday (Nov 5).
The week after, Ball St-Miami(OH) is on ESPN2 at 7pm on Tuesday (Nov 11). The previous poster mentioned this game, so hence why I brought it up.
Still pretty cool that undefeated Ball St is getting some TV time.
The computers show no love for Penn St. The have Alabama & Texas Tech tied at 1st, with Texas at 3rd. Penn St. is at 4th with the computers, and the rest of their schedule isn't going to help improve that.
This very young Miami team is showing MORE and MORE moxy every week! A little help here and there and who knows.....
Thank God. And Florida will jump them also if they beat Alabama. Oklahoma could to if they win out.
They 31 voters who gave Penn State first place votes, should at minnimum be drug tested, most likely be stripped of any voting rights.
Reason #847 why the Big Eleven is a joke...
It's possible that Minnesota will have 10 regular season wins this season and will not have beaten a ranked team.
And you don't have to go back that far to find the last time that happened. Wisconsin went 11-1 in the regular season in 2006 without a single win against a ranked opponent.

With that being said, Penn State beat Ohio State at Ohio State which is a ranked team, they beat Oregon State which beat #1 USC.
Nobody was saying anything about USC when they were winning tournaments, Pac 10 might be the worse conference beside the ACC and Big East.
Don't think for one minute I'm saying the Big Ten has just as hard of a schedule as the SEC or Big 12, but all Penn State can do is play with what is given to them. Until the NCAA makes every conference even like basketball, every conference has a tournament, then there is nothing teams that don't have tournaments can do about it.
IMO the reason they don't have playoffs is because the BCS will lose to much money. If they can have a tournament for Basketball, thy can have a playoff system for football. Until then the reporters and coaches who don't even watch all the games and some computer nerds gets to decide who wins the championship. Let the players decide who wins by playing games.
Sabres, consider it done.
I was wrong in declaring Texas Tech a pretender. That win against #1 Texas proves that they can hang with the big boys. :up
BTW, I didn't see a minute of what I heard was a fantastic game. I was at a Halloween party on Saturday night and missed the entire thing, however I did see the highlights on ESPN.
Hell it's 7:54 west coast time and i am switching my avatar NOW!! Great job by Tech They look like a team who is hungry!! Chance Mock and Mack Brown you are who i thought you were! CRAP! p.s. Can i please.. please have Sweet baby ray's bbq suace with my CROW!?
ohhhh! Sweet Baby Ray's is my favorite!
:That's not really true. PSU plays a tougher schedule than Texas from this point forward (the computers generally really like 8-2 Michigan State for example) so PSU could potentially gain ground in the computer ratings and improve their BCS standings. That said, if Texas Tech wins the next two weeks, they would pick up votes in the human polls relative to PSU and would solidify their #2 spot.
The basic reality is, though, that PSU if they win out is on the outside looking in if both Bama and Texas Tech win out. But if either of those teams falter, PSU goes to the championship with a 12-0 record. No 1 loss team is going to pass PSU.
