So..Is tonight a "Blackout" game?



Don't follow.


FWIW, BU fans realize, in the nation's eyes, Oregon v Stanford >>>>> BU v OU.

Everyone is just glad to be in the top ten playing a top ten team at home and hope to create a great environment for the game to be played in.

Just like k state right?


Baylor at home >>>>> Baylor on the road.

ETA: Since 2011 Briles & Baylor are 5-0 at home vs. ranked opponents. Wins over #1, #5, #14, #23 & #24. Average score of 48-34.

Which is why I don't think we run the table, especially at Oklahoma State.



Also, Baylor is wearing black pants, black jerseys, and black helmets.

9pm Thursday night East Coast. ESPN doesn't want voters paying attention. Want Bama - FSU.

Everyone knew before the season, Oregon vs. Stanford would be for the Pac-12 title - since the North is stronger than the South.

And everyone thought LSU vs. Bama would be of course huge.

The media sets the schedules based on viewership and basically what they want - I remember when USC was rolling last decade being pissed that all their games were getting switched to nigh primetime games (I like day games).

Media doesn't want any eyes away from Bama/LSU.

If Bama/LSU was not happening this weekend...there's no way in hell Oregon/Stanford would be on a Thursday night.

ETA: BTW, enjoy your last few days on the MSB - it's about to come to a month long end.

This is 100% accurate. ESPN wants ratings. Money.


But that's not what you said on the first page. You said it was to sway voters, as if ESPN would know what the BCS situation would be a year in advance. That's ridiculous.

And what = ratings in the long run.

Call me crazy...but I sort of believe ESPN has a thing for the SEC.

$$$$

And after 2011...a thing for Alabama...in the title game $$$$ - Televised by...ESPN this year of course.

So yeah, they have voters riding on the line for their bottom line. $$$

LSU has to keep it within 20 points against Bama or he's off the MSB.

Perhaps. But the SEC is also far and away the best conference. And that bothers you, so you like to change the narrative and allude to conspiracies.
