I don’t think Fox gets the 1st pick every week. I might be wrong but i think they get a certain number of picks for the season. With OSU Penn St, OSU mich left they prolly didn’t choose this game. Im just guessing though

Here’s how they do it

Report: FOX moves top college football game to noon slot


In the college draft, the conferences put together a game schedule [with the dates] but then we and ESPN sit down and actually choose game windows in the Spring where we’ll say — and we have the number one pick in the Big Ten draft — we’re going to take the first selection on November 24th. We pick that date obviously with an eye toward it being Ohio State-Michigan, but we don’t literally take Ohio State-Michigan. We just take the right to have the first choice on November 24th. And then ESPN will choose the right to have the first choice on a week in September. And we’ll come back and use our first pick in the Big 12 to take the number one pick in the first week of October which will be Texas-Oklahoma."

Mulvihill says the process of slotting games and who gets what matchups can be exhausting for networks.

"As the season goes on we’ll say, Okay we’re up to Week 7. We have the first pick. We’re going to use that first pick on Michigan-Michigan State," Mulvihill said. "ESPN then has the second pick, and they [hypothetically] thought they were going to use it on Penn State-Iowa, but because events on the field are unpredictable they’re actually going to use it on Wisconsin-Northwestern. Because you’re drafting windows and not actual games, once you get to the season in progress and you’re surprised by which teams are better than you thought and which teams aren’t as good as you expected, you can adjust and make sure that you’re getting the best game in the best window."

FSU is rumored to be hiring Bob Stoops, maybe firing Taggart was worth it.

its goin to be awkward for the players if he coaches this season
Big game bob just caught another check to be in cruise control til lil briles gets more time for you to forget he was at Baylor

Fox gets the first pick for all games for the season, which will always be OSU vs. scUM. Then ESPN and Fox alternate between picking games, so ESPN has the next pick, then Fox, and so on. It's not like Fox gets the first pick every week.

Idk if you can answer this as well but do you think whatever was in that sealed envelope during the Mixon stuff expedited him leaving

No. I never heard about a sealed envelope. The Mixon thing happened before domestic violence was a hot button in sports. The incident was reported in the news everywhere, he had a trial even, and He got suspended that entire season. It wasn't kept a secret.

But then Ray Rice happened and Greg Hardy happened etc, and then it got dug back up again and the media blew it up like OU/Stoops hid the incident.

At that point Bob had to hold pressers etc and it was just stupid bc it was almost 3 yrs old at that point. I think hr didnt want to go into this new era bc when i was at OU in the 00s,all kind of wild stuff happened. But no social media back then
