Does anyone have any inside info (or stupid guesses) about when we'll find out the time and channel for the Oct. 19 game?

Bison gonna Bison, FCS or FBS(tm)
Next saturday night/sunday.
Its likely in the running for espn, but theres a compelling fbs matchup or 2 theyd rather air. If those teams all win they probably suplant us.
This is inside info btw, it came from inside my head.
Also ndsu/sdsu on espn is probably contingent on both teams remaining 1 and 2 in the fcs.

Night game would be huge!! (wishful thinking)
Sometime this week or next weekend.
I agree that the decision will be made after both teams play this week. We should both win; so 1 vs 2, rivalry game, title winners, could be a big draw. Make it Saturday night, and that would fun!

Hate to be the wet blanket but I'd find it very unlikely to be a night game. Way too many bigger names playing even if it's not against each other. I think the best we can hope for is a normal 2:30PM slot. Really just hoping they avoid the 11AM slots.

All empty slots as of right now. 10-12 are all filled.

With the mess that is the SEC right now they'll go there simply because SEC > FCS/MVFC. Dollars, eyeballs.
Texas and Tennessee games will almost certainly be on abc.
Oklahoma is probably losing to texas this week.
Only 1 sec game is on espn this week, one on espn2. 3 on abc. 2 are on sec network.
The sunbelt, cusa, and mac each have 2 games on the espns, but none on the main channel. Aac has 1 on espn 1 on espn2. Looks like all g5s with espn deals and the ACC are 2 espn family games per week.
Acc has 2 on espn. Could be that the ACC ganes are guranteed espn.
Big 12 has 2 on espn, 1 on espn2.
