As expected, ABC selected UCLA @ Cal for their regional telecast on October 25, so the ASU/Oregon game will not be televised and will kickoff at ASU's preferred time of 7pm.
Looking forward through the rest of the schedule, two other games are in jeopardy of not being televised. To recap:
On November 1, the game at Oregon State is already set for 7:15pm on FSN.
Daylight savings time ends on Sunday, November 2.
The Washington game in Seattle on November 8 is unlikely to be televised, because there is only one open slot that day, at 1:30pm on FSN (California at USC has already been selected by ABC for 6pm). Oregon State at UCLA or Stanford at Oregon is the most likey selection. I think UW prefers daytime games so I would assume an early afternoon kickoff.
November 15 has two open timeslots: 1:30pm on ABC or 8:15pm on FSN. I would be shocked if ABC wanted to show Washington State so an early start is unlikely. Since this is the homecoming game, it's possible that kickoff will be late afternoon if not selected for TV, but unlike homecoming games in years past, this game is still listed as TBA on the ASU website.
The UCLA game is already set for ESPN2 at 7:30pm on Friday, November 28 (the day after Thanksgiving).
The contest with Arizona in Tucson will be televised, but the kickoff could be 1pm or 6pm.
