Y'all scream "cunt" like it's supposed to sting or something. Save the keystrokes, DGAF.
The TV partners rotate their picks. I don't even know or care who had pick number one last weekend, but to think that our very regional and unusually uncompetitive #2 versus haven't been within three scores of #2 in a decade was going to get the ABC nod over The Mack Brown Deathwatch Edition of the Red River Hick Fight isn't realistic. If Sark had knocked off Stanford, maybe some dealing gets done for #2 v. #8 or so, but not short of that.
As for Fox proper, they are in a fiscal partnership with TBS to not nationally counter program the Dodgers-Cardinals NLCS, which was airing at the same time as UO-UW. Did you happen to notice the Fox "A" college crew doing the FS1 commentary? MLB was why the game was on the FOX junior station.
Does FS1 suck? Sure, but it only matters to programs desperately needing free pub. Money is the same, and the Ducks won't overtake Alabama in the polls without their tripping. Maybe the game time should have been moved, but with DET@BOS later that evening it didn't matter, the game was destined for cable.
Gameday? FFS, that show is played out. The Ducks have been half of the equation on that show so many times, I've lost track and interest. Getting all wet for GD to swing by is something to get excited about in Pullme. Doog-a-palooza was always irrelevant as to who was going to air the latest mismatch.
