You left out the fact that the Utah@USC game in on Friday night, which everyone

knows is prime time college football night...not. Or even better was rivalry weekend a couple of years ago when most/all of the Pac12 conference had games on ESPN, Fox, or FS1 except a ranked Utah vs Colorado was the on Pac12 Network.

On a side note, national exposure and viewership smack is fun but sort of lame, just win and just about everything else takes care of itself.

Friday games often have large audiences. Not a bad time/channel for Utah, IMO.

Dates and broadcast rights are predetermined. Channel and kickoff time are not.

I think that's probably a little less to do with just BYU and more to do with

That has everything to do with TV partners and contracts. USC has a very large national following
