I would love it if this is true. Especially if we beat Bama. Imagine the last game of an undefeated year as the number one team in the country beating another top 10 team at NIGHT in death valley.

Whats amazing is ESPN is advertising for a game thats on another network.....thats how big this is...incredible


I think its smart marketing. You know that the world will be watching the game on CBS regardless of what you do, so why not create intriguing content that drives traffic to YOUR brand/sites/youtube and capitalize off the situation. Now all of us SEC fans are going to ESPN to check out their content and their brand is winning in the long run.

they've gotta be getting a cut from this game based on ratings

that's the only thing that would explain this ad and the move in time

This. People are gonna be gobbling up all the pregame analysis, and ESPN is the network that can give it to them, even if they're not actually carrying the game.

Or 11 years.

The Ohio St/Michigan folks are disagreeing with me about this, but I think when the hype is over, it will e the most hyped game ever.
