This has nothing to do about pitting the "two best teams against each other"...or "the eye test"...
The rematch has everything to do with money. ESPN pushed for the rematch because they wanted a cut of the kind of cash CBS raked in on Nov 5th. Secondly, ESPN has just inked a broadcasting deal with the SEC. Finally, make no mistake, ESPN is using this match-up as a way of discussing the downfall of the BCS and potentially to use it as a spring-board for playoffs.
It's about MONEY...nothing more nothing less
