Why are the Buckeyes playing so many games at noon? Why was Ohio State/Akron a night game while so many better games weren't? And what time is the Ohio State vs. Penn State game going to kick off?

The answers to all of these questions depend almost entirely on TV networks and what they tell the teams to do. But how do the networks make those decisions?

Matt Sarz of MattSarzSports.com is the nation's leading expert on how those schedules actually get put together. He joins host Tom Orr to answer questions like:

- What other considerations go into how a game ends up at a specific time and channel?
- When do game times get announced, and what the heck is a "6-day option?"
