Assuming we take care of business the next 2 weeks we'll get a nice TV slot, but ESPN will still 6 day flex us just in case.
Imagine these are the games in the running for the top slots (Fox Big Noon, CBS, ABC/ESPN noon, 3:30, primetime):
SMU/Cincy
Arkansas/Bama
IA St/OU
MSU/tOSU
Mich/MD
Wake/Clemson
OSU/TTU
Auburn/USC
Georgia & AtM cupcakes seem to be streaming exclusives at noon so ignored them. Assume Oregon/Utah gets late night ESPN slot, could be wrong.
Let's give the Bama game to CBS and assume Fox claims MSU/tOSU. Cincy gets ABC noon, Sooners ESPN prime, Michigan 3:30 ABC, OSU ESPN noon, Auburn 3:30 ESPN.
Leaves ABC primetime wide open!
