odd kickoff times.

For ESPNU yes. ESPN2 - kinda.

ESPN ran themselves into a bind when guaranteeing that Texas A&M-La Tech would be televised when they had to move the date due to Hurricane Isaac. All ESPNU windows were moved up one hour (11am - Louisville at Pitt, 2:30pm - UNC at UM, 6pm - Florida at Vanderbilt) to accomodate a 8:15pm CT / 9:15pm ET start in Shreveport.

BC-FSU precedes Tennessee-Mississippi St. at 9pm ET. I know the SEC has rules on the number of 9:15pm ET / 8:15pm CT starts that ESPN can do. Maybe moving it up 15 minutes skirts those rules.

boy, that Louisville/Pitt game is huge.... shame it's a before noon start even...

It's better than the Noon kickoff times we've been stuck with the first two home games. Now people won't have an excuse not to go because it's "too early". I will be very upset if we don't have more people against UNC. That won't be an issue if we beat Notre Dame because at that point we'll probably have fans coming in droves, but if we don't... Yikes. Need a win.
