Great job by TSN2. Kickoff is at 8:00pm ET, so it looks like we will get College Football Scoreboard too.

TSN2 will have a Pac-10 game on November 6 at 10:00pm ET. Look for it to be either Arizona-Stanford or Oregon-Washington (the Pac-10 makes their 12-day picks today).

I think that TSN and TSN2 has BCS. Otherwise the schedule usually isn't released until the Bowls are determined. Based on TSN's other programming, the BCS schedule should end up looking like this

Sat 1/1, 4:30pm - Rose Bowl - TSN
Sat 1/1, 8:30pm - Fiesta Bowl - TSN
Mon 1/3, 8:00pm - Orange Bowl - TSN2
Tue 1/4, 8:00pm - Sugar Bowl - TSN2
Mon 1/10, 8:00pm - BCS Championship - TSN

The Score won't have games on Monday and Friday because of WWE and TSN won't have games on some nights because of NHL and World Juniors coverage.

Here is the complete bowl schedule. Only games not on Canadian TV are the Peach Bowl, which will probably be a great matchup, but is on New Year's Eve when many are doing other things and the Dallas Classic, which goes head-to-head with the Citrus, Outback, Gator and NHL's Winter Classic.\

Also, the Pinstripe Bowl will be joined in progress on TSN2 following the hockey at 4:30pm ET, probably around the start of the 2nd quarter.

So, The Score has a commercial where they basically read off all of the bowl games that they will air. One of the games mentioned is the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, which isn't scheduled to air on The Score according to their online schedule. Every other game mentioned will air on The Score. I'm hoping this means they will have the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, but I doubt it. I contacted them about it, and I'll post what they say.

It is a Friday night 7:30pm ET game. Currently The Score has WWE Raw scheduled from 8-10 and Top 50 Plays of the Year from 10-11.

It was on the Super Sports Pak and PPV AFAIK. It certainly wasn't on any of the sports channels.

Yep all BCS games will be ticker free. They are among the very few ESPN events that are ticker free now. The others that I can think of are the NBA Finals (on ABC), Premier League, US Open, Masters and Open Championship. Even Wimbledon, which in the past was ticker free, had a ticker last summer.

BTW I should point out that I'll usually defend the bottomline by saying that they are just covering up the ESPN bottomline, which is usually true. However, ESPN hasn't used their bottomline for any of the BCS bowl games, so TSN has absolutely no excuse for using theirs. All they are covering up is the ESPN logo some of the picture.
