UCF Game Time Prediction

[Sean Miller Fan]

I think ACCN really hits Comcast-heavy Florida hard in Week 4:

11:00 - Western Michigan at Syracuse
2:00 - Central Michigan at Miami
5:00 - UCF at Pitt
8:00 - Louisville at FSU

Other predictions:

Ball State at NC State and App St at UNC sounds like a noon/3:30 Raycom doubleheader brought to you by your Carolina Ford Dealers on RSNs.

Charlotte at Clemson on ESPN 2 and ODU at UVa on ESPNU

Elon at Wake Forest on ACCNX

I hope 11am. Love that time. Home before the sun sets and can watch 2nd half of 330 games

 

[Parkview57]

Is this game an ACCN for sure?

 

[Sean Miller Fan]

No

 

[RingDinger]

Someone else mentioned STP playing at Stage AE at 5:30 that day. Has there ever been a concert there during a Pitt game? Obviously the logistics would be far from infeasible, as the two events combined won't even draw as well as a Steelers preseason game, but I still highly doubt it would be viewed as ideal to have Pitt play any time after 1.

Agreed. We'll almost surely be 1-2 and heading toward 3-9 (in national pundit eyes anyway), and UCF is still far far far from a national name...so 11 could be in the running.

ESPN already has UCF - Stanford at 330 this Saturday. Not sure they'd want two UCF slots like that in a row. I'm going to get a lesser channel at 11.

ESPN doesnt care who is playing at Stage AE that night.

Game time should be announced tomorrow. We’ll know by the starting time if it’s on ACCNetwork

Won't we just know by looking at what network they announce when they announce the game time?

 

[MarySki]

I asked for Pitt on my Comcast remote and it showed the next two games with UCF listed as 12:00. For what its worth.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

For what its worth.

It isn't worth anything, because the game time won't be decided until tomorrow.

The ACC schedules at certain times. Hence the 11AM start. Basically 11-2-5- and 8.

The ACC Network has been on the air two weeks. The game times for the first week were different than the game times for the second week, so I'm not sure how you have established that the Network's games all start at the same time.

Since they announce the network when they announce the time, why wouldn't we just read the network when we read the time? Seems like that would be a lot easier than guessing.

 

[TIGER-PAUL]

I'll guess nooner...

Yes. I forget who it was, but I was in nose bleeds as my young son was bored so we went up high to watch the post game fireworks as well. We could hear and see the band

No network cares; I get it. I didn't say they did. I said it wouldn't be ideal (from Pitt's perspective), and I asked if it's ever happened before (from the standpoint of my own curiosity).

Well if they announce the network I guess guessing isn't needed.

Noon on ESPNU is also a good bet. That's my backup prediction.

Looks like ESPN loves the UCF brand
