Just curious if the nation actually gives a cr@p about these "BCS Busters".

ESPN keeps shoving them down our face, so I'm wondering if people are actually drinking the Kool-aid?

ESPN is shoving them so far down our "faces," it didn't even list the game as on television.

And TCU is a top 5 team in a weak year. So I'm not sure what the hell you want.

It just seems odd that ESPN chose to have their Gameday show at a location that wasn't even nationally televised game.

Not really. They only care that people watched gameday.

People will watch gameday regardless of the location. Having it a specific location will aid in drawing national interest in that game.

I understand not going to a CBS game bc not wanting to hype a game for another network. Was ESPN not able to broadcast the game bc of contract issues?

Utah/BSU was on CBS College Network. You can't use this game as a judge of whether a bowl game will be successful. BSU/TCU had pretty good ratings last year.

Of coure it's contact issues. MWC does not have a contact with ESPN because a few years back they insisted on putting the MWC on the Tuesday/Wednesday citcuit and the conference said no.

I feel bad for TCU, because they've been legitimate more than any "non-automatic qualifier" for a few years now.
