The television arrangements for seven of Arizona State’s 12 football games this season have been determined. The five that have not been set are all Pac-10 games, with the network selections typically made 12 days before kickoff.
Here are the undetermined TV dates, with the windows available and the other Pac-10 games the networks have to choose from:
Oct. 4, at California
Windows open: 12:30 p.m., ABC; 4:30 p.m., Versus
Other games: Washington at Arizona, Washington State at UCLA
Oct. 11, at Southern California
Windows open: 12:30 p.m., ABC; 7:15 p.m., Fox Sports Net
Other games: Arizona at Stanford, UCLA at Oregon, Washington State at Oregon State
Oct. 25, vs. Oregon
Window open: 12:30 p.m., ABC
Other game: UCLA at California
Nov. 8, at Washington
Window open: 1:30 p.m., Fox Sports Net
Other games: Arizona at Washington State, Stanford at Oregon, Oregon State at UCLA
Nov. 15, vs. Washington State
Windows open: 1:30 p.m., ABC; 8:15 p.m., Fox Sports Net

The California and USC games are almost certain to be picked up. The other three figure to be predicated by the conference standings.
It is possible that the Oregon contest will be broadcast locally during the afternoon if it is not selected by ABC.
