I believe the contract is if ABC isn't showing it in your area then it will be on ESPN/ESPN2. At least that's how it worked out last year for us in the DC area.
Yes, what ndhillon said.

The coverage map for week one isn't out yet, but mgoblue has the first game listed as abc/espn2. I wouldn't worry if you live in the states and get both of those channels.

Are games that are broadcast on ESPN or any ESPN-affiliated channel always available on espn360?

Might not be a hard-and-fast rule, but I think so, as long as you're out of the blackout areas or what have you.

Fuck me this is a retarded post.
Too mean.
What about the new deal with the SEC that ESPN has, will it impact that ABC/ESPN contract?
It's the 3:30 game. If they have other 3:30 games and it's not on ABC in your area it will be on ESPN 2.

It's definitely not a national game on ABC, although I don't know exactly how the rules work with the "reverse mirror". Since Georgia-Okie State is a much bigger game, most of the country will probably get that one. ABC-WMU might be on ESPN.
