That sounds about right, though if the Gophers and Ohio State both win this week I suspect they'll give the Gophers-OSU the 2:30 ABC slot. Then it could be billed as the East (OSU) vs. West (Gophers) leader & co-leader.

I heard 9 AM on The Ocho.

There is hope on the 2:30 kickoff front. Disney has a lot of inventory on 11/15 and can’t use ESPN2 in the late afternoon due to NASCAR Nationwide Cup racing. It may need to air a game on ABC in the early afternoon to serve all interests unless BTN regionalizes two games in the 11:00 AM timeslot.

This listing below is not necessarily what will happen or even is likely to happen, but it is a rendering of what could happen. Under this scenario, Nebraska-Wisconsin goes out 100% nationally on ABC in the early spot so that Big XII and ACC action can have a likely ABC regional split with ESPN reverse mirror in the late afternoon spot (or one game each nationally on the two channels) with Ohio State-Minnesota sliding to a 2:30 BTN spot. It’s all conjecture, but it shows what’s possible with the present status in parentheses.

11:00 ABC – Nebraska-Wisconsin (time and network TBA)
11:00 ESPN – Iowa-Illinois (time and network TBA)
11:00 ESPN2 – Temple-Penn State (time and network TBA)
11:00 ESPNU – Virginia Tech-Duke (locked for time and network)
11:00 BTN – Indiana-Rutgers (locked for network, time TBA)
2:30 ABC/ESPN – Oklahoma-Texas Tech (locked for time and for ABC and/or ESPN)
2:30 ABC/ESPN – Clemson-Georgia Tech (locked for ABC and/or ESPN/ESPN2, time TBA)
2:30 BTN – Ohio State-Minnesota (time and network TBA)
2:30 NBC – Northwestern-Notre Dame (locked for time and network)
8:00 BTN – Michigan State-Maryland (locked for time and network)
Bye – Michigan

I threw in the rest of the Big Ten slate for the sake of being complete.

But they already said MN-OSU would not be on BTN. I suspect we'll play at 11:30, and they're just keeping their option open.
