Maryland gets prime-time slot for Nov. 20 game against Florida State

Maryland is getting the prime-time treatment for its Atlantic Division showdown with Florida State.

The Terrapins will play host to the Seminoles for an 8 p.m. kickoff on Nov. 20. ABC will regionally televise the game.

It is Maryland's first 8 p.m. home game since upsetting Boston College in 2007.

The ACC's release of a full set of game times means there's a strong possibility many of the best Week 13 games at ACC sites --- a slate that includes South Carolina-Clemson, Florida-Florida State, N.C. State-Maryland and Virginia-Virginia Tech --- will get six-day optioned next week. The ACC's broadcast partners have one six-day option remaining, ands odds are they won't hold onto it for posterity's sake.

The full Nov. 20 rundown:

N.C. State at North Carolina, Noon (Raycom/ACC Network)
Virginia at Boston College, Noon (ESPNU)
Duke at Georgia Tech, 1:30 (ESPN3.com)
Clemson at Wake Forest, 2 (ESPN3.com)
Virginia Tech at Miami, 3:30 (ESPN or ABC)
Florida State at Maryland, 8 (ABC)

Technically, that was a 7:45 game (a very minor difference, I know), which means were both right --- that this is Marylands first post-6 p.m. home game since the 2008 loss to Florida State, and its the first 8 p.m kickoff since 2007.

Im going to say Arkansas-Mississippi State, Ohio State-Iowa and maybe Oklahoma-Baylor (not to mention Virginia Tech-Miami) trump Terps-Seminoles for ESPNs purposes.
