The only reason the games were created was to sell the recruiting buzz. The game is held up for the announcements because thats what people tune it to see.

No one really gives a shite who wins the game.

Post of the recruiting season! Exactly right....the players on the field are actually the sidelight. How many times does the action off the field/announcements actually hold up the game (commercials being the exception) like happens here. That is why I don't normally watch the games unless multiple LSU recruits are involved in the announcement. Even then, I simply DVR the game and SKIP the football to get to the relevant announcements.
