Watching the Michigan State vs. Wisconsin game on ESPN, via Comcast in Detroit, looks good so far.

Watching FSU vs USF on ESPNU HD on ATT Uverse Jacksonville, FL. The picture appears somewhat dark. Is anyone else seeing this?

Picture Quality on both the ESPN and ESPN2 games looks good right now. Both games look better then the noon games last week.

D* subscriber in Chicagoland here...

IL/tOSU is on WLS. VT-Miami is supposed to be on ESPN, but DirecTV has a blackout notice showing. Has D* forgot to flip the switch?

VT-Miami is on ESPN alt (SD Only). The main ESPN is blackedout, there is no ESPN HD alt. VT-Miami is only HD in areas seeing it on ABC.

is it just me or is the main overhead camera on the Ohio State game look fuzzy? hope it condensation or something, sometimes it sure doesn't look like HD. All the other cameras seem fine.

Color is off on Iowa-Penn State. Everything has a blue tinge to it. Picture is pretty soft too, but that might be from the rain or the 720p->1080i conversion employed by the station. WFAA Dallas via FiOS

Same kind of blown out blue tint they had in a game a few weeks ago. Is someone asleep in the control room there? It looks awful.

Texas Tech-Houston looked awful. Heavy noise on all shots, very soft picture, and ringing on edges from excessive enhancement. Hell of a game though.

So is Gameday going to FSU @ BC this coming weekend to save money?

Why the hell are they going there?

They can't spend every Game Day in the Pac-10, Big 12 and SEC. The ACC needs some love, too.

IMHO, they need to give more coverage to the WAC, Conference USA and Mountain West. Houston, Boise State (Utah and BYU), and TCU are starting to put the non-BCS conferences on the map.
