The Joel Klatt Show: A College Football Podcast

Күн бұрын

Fox Sports’ lead college football analyst Joel Klatt sits down with Fox President of Insight and Analytics, Michael Mulvihill to discuss how College Football and NFL games are scheduled between the different TV networks. Michael explains how the game selection process between TV networks works and why it’s closer to a fantasy football draft than people may realize. The two also discuss the decision making when choosing the Big Noon Saturday Games that were announced last week: Michigan-Ohio State, Texas-Michigan and Alabama-Wisconsin. Mulvihill also details the origins of the concept of Big Noon Saturday and why FOX is adding big-time games on the Friday night schedule this Fall.

They need to televise this draft ngl. Would be box office

Most interesting thing I’ve seen in a long time. Get this guy on every week!

This was an incredible interview! Standing ovation to Klatt, I didn’t know I’d be so intrigued by learning about the TV coverage of CFB! *mind-blown

@markkoep8031 Ай бұрын

Klatt nailed it with that last comment on the noon start. Highlights are on all day and night saturday. The night games highlights are done immediately because subday morning it all shifts to nfl.

I don't think networks want that info to become public right away, they want to have their big announcements.

@willcooper6980 Ай бұрын

This was fascinating and insightful. May I add that as recent as mid 2000s, the Big Ten was almost exclusively an afternoon league for the entire season. So Big Noon speaks to this long tradition. Now with the four west coast schools joining, they can and have to spread out their games into every Sat time slot, along with Fri night.

I'm SEC for life but I like Big 10 additions. Was so tired of seeing Michigan vs OSU and sometimes seeing Penn St were the only good games.

I’m only 22 so the “tradition” of all the CFB stuff isn’t as big of deal to me. I personally just want to see the best teams play each other. I’m a Big ten guy but happy to see Texas and OU in the SEC. Should be a great szn of CFB!

Such an interesting topic I actually knew nothing about. Joel, you are the king of CFB.

@erikwill2891 Ай бұрын

I love Fox having so many OSU games. There is no doubt that Fox… specifically Joel and Gus are the best analysts in the business. They are professional in every aspect of the term. The BIG is blessed to have such great unbiased coverage. Last year they covered TTUN a lot and rightfully so. Having said that, they cover the games with great respect for all fan bases.

@davidhall6625 Ай бұрын

How does the Big XII schedule factor into this? Isn’t Fox obligated to show some Big XII matchups on Big Noon as well? Are they drafting with ESPN concurrently for Big XII dates too?

Joel I feel like you are one of, if not the best, analysts in college football, and therefore are a big reason that Big Noon Kickoff has been so successful. (Along with the pregame show and your on air tram.) And my school isn't even in the Big10.

@timothycunningham3983 Ай бұрын

Oregon vs. Ohio State game should be the second or third best Big Ten games. The other would be Oregon vs. Michigan. Although Alabama vs. Wisconsin is interesting, not as important as the other two.

As an Oregon fan who lives in Ohio, it definitely feels like a bummer that Fox will be hesitant to put Oregon home games as their number one choice. Feels like an opportunity missed with this whole joining the B1G thing just due to geography and time zones

@jerodjones1771 Ай бұрын

You want your Ducks playing a home game at 9am local time?

@davidward8419 Ай бұрын

@@jerodjones1771 not really, and I get that the time zone issue is more at fault than Fox. Just feels like a bummer when your conference’s big time network TV connection can’t do their premium package for your home games. Although if we did play at 9 AM: 1. Autzen would get up for it 2. It worked out last time we played that time window in Columbus.

Guy is dang smart but the fact that they don’t consider Seattle part of Wazzu’s market is real dumb. Wazzu has great viewership numbers compared to most former Pac12 and Big12 schools. “Market size” does not matter, viewership does. I say this as a Wazzu fan who gets ticked at other fans for being cheap and not realizing how good we had/have it. Go Cougs!

@isaacdunaway7149 Ай бұрын

I love Gus and Joel but man I hate big noon kickoff. I understand the appeal Fox has to do it but it completely screws over the western part of the country. The viewing experience just isn't the same when it's 9 or 10 in the morning. I'm sure Ohio State-Michigan in the primetime window would dwarf whatever game ESPN has the final weekend of the season, and the experience and atmosphere would be way better. Plus it sucks when Penn State can't do their whiteout for Ohio State/Michigan/whoever their biggest opponent of the season is.

I agree for every other game outside of THE Game; it's simply the tradition for them to play each other at noon, always has been. It's part of the aura

If LSU had to play at noon every week we would win 6 or 7 games a year. The student section would be empty, the players would prolly show up late, and the tailgaiting industrial complex would collapse.
