for over a week they built up osu-usc about how it was the "game of the century"...i knew lsu-florida wouldnt get the kind of attention that game did but really it is ridiculous how they went from hyping that game to the limit to nothing this week for the #1 and the #4 teams in the country. and dont give me that this game is on cbs and that game was on espn bs i simply dont wanna hear it!! thats all...

Their competitor is airing the game. ESPN is not about to hype a game on another network.

Try being a fan of the Eastern Conference champion Magic and having the Cavs and Celtics shoved down your throat when the Magic made the best moves this summer.

It's comparable. ESPN definitely picks their favorites.

Ok, I won't tell you that ESPN is a business that is formed to make a profit and that they will promote their own games over others.

Dude -- everybody in the country is saying that this is the best regular season game -- it's the only CBS game in prime time -- isn't that enough???

The fact they continue to come to games where CBS is airing the game is ridiculous and amazing if you ask me. Because they are kinda hyping the game there.

Colin Cowherd is hyping it. He's on ESPN radio.

they have to hype it to some degree just by talking about it ...
BUT to say they're gonna go the extra mile for another network, that would be a no

Why not? You fault them for advertising a game on their network?

Because they don't have the rights to it?

ESPN doesn't quite get EVERYTHING they want.
