If both teams are 8-0 there will be a good chance that the game will be The Big Noon Saturday game. Which is usually the featured game on FOX.

Do we know if Fox/FS1/BTN have this game, or if ABC/ESPN does? That might also influence the chances of Gameday coming to Minneapolis.
I would say very little chance Gameday comes here as LSU vs. Alabama is that same week. You can kind of predict where they'll be. However, if they don't want to cover that game, there's not a lot else to choose from:
Clemson at NC State
Maryland at OSU
Iowa at Wisconsin
Kansas St at Texas
Edit, they're already doing Mich @ PSU, before this date, so now we're holding on to vs. WISC last week of the season.
I'm guessing 330 slot on ABC as LSU/Bama will likely be primetime at 8 pm on CBS.

I'd be very surprised if they want to come up to Minneapolis during thanksgiving weekend with the weather. They'd have some fun hockey shots if they wanted to include it though with playing UND that week as well
The only thing that is clear is that FOX gets first overall choice and they pick Osu/Mich every year.It's not a given who gets dibs that week. Fox gets 1st pick "most weeks" but ABC/ESPN do some weeks. I can't find anything that clarifies beyond that.
CBS already use up it primetime slot on Notre Dame vs Georgia. So LSU/Bama likely a afternoon game. unless CBS make a deal with ESPN.I'm guessing 330 slot on ABC as LSU/Bama will likely be primetime at 8 pm on CBS.

They go to Michigan / OSU a lot on the same weekend and that's no trip to the beach. ESPN wants to come to Minnesota. It would be a great story. The Gophers need to earn it.
I remember reading about some scheduling restriction, that once we reach November, no more night games would be scheduled. Is this still a thing?
