It is. Split with Oklahoma State and Kansas State.

ESPN will not mirror. Auburn/Miss on ESPN.

Hadn't seen any ads for the OkieSt/KSU game...all I had seen was our game was on ABC. I got a bad feeling that since there's no ESPN mirror I'm going to end up getting OkieSt/KSU out here.

Wow! You are in luck Mili! 80% of the map is for the Buckeye game. The other game definitely should be a better game...this map just shows how big and strong Buckeye Nation is and that we are just more watched.

On my DirecTV schedule, there are two channels for the local ABC OTA channel 4. The schedule for the normal channel 4 is still to be determined while the side channel 4-2 has the OkSt/KSU game listed. While you'd think that's a good sign, I've seen it in the past where both the normal and side channel carried the same game...

I'm surprised the state of Nebraska doesn't get the Buckeye game. Being in the same conference, I'm sure they would much rather watch the team they will play in December. There isn't anything but Nebraska fans in that state.

Often the ABC games are seen on ESPN2 in out of market areas. Also, sometimes you will find the games on the ESPN alternate channels like 209-1 on Direct TV. If you have your guide set on a favorite channel list (like most people do), you won't see the alternate channels unless you set your guide to "channels I get". And - they don't put the exact description of who is playing games on a particular channel into the guide, sometimes, until Friday.

I would have a little bit of concern about this game if OSU had won 56-3 last week, especially since Illinois kinda found themselves against Minny last week. But given the way the Penn State game went, me thinks the Bucks will be extra focused and sharp --> the Illini are in serious trouble.

One more thing: I hate 8 PM games. It's too long to wait, damn it.
