How does A&M-Bama 2013 hype compare to LSU-Bama 2011?

We already know about LSU in 2011....This one seems to be yet another hype circus. 
Is it mostly because of ESPN, Saban, or Manziel?
And how big of a letdown would it be if the game is a blowout?

Revenge game for Saban, Manziel spotlight, 2 top 6 teams in the nation... what do you expect?

Bama / LSU 2011 were late in the season and both undefeated. This one doesn't rate that.

It doesn't

I'll admit it's going to be a good game, but seriously, there is nowhere near the hype for this game that they put into the LSU/Bama 11 game.

2011 was an undeniably epic matchup between the best two teams in the country.
There's nothing overly special about this one. Just another revenge game. Sure it's got implications but nowhere near as big in hype or scale to 11/5

This hype ain't got nothing on what the nov hype will be.

Jarett Lee didn't have a creeper cam following his every move in 2011 so the answer is obvious

not even close

Different IMO, 2011 was about the coaches and rivalry, this year is about Saban vs Manziel.

Just hope it's not a boring FG war...

Not close, the game is too early in the season. If both teams were undefeated and played in November then it would really amp up.

Not even close.

As long as LSU doesnt suck it up and lose 3-4 games before 11/23/13... I would say the LSU/A&M game will get more hype than this one is getting/will get. Just because of history and the fact is the so late in the season, with possible BCS implications on the line (more likely true for A&M).

Not even close. That November 2011 matchup was the most anticipated ever between the undisputed and well proven #1 and #2 teams in the country. 2 elite teams with flat out NASTY defensive teams.
This is just September; A&M is not even top 5 their D is pathetic.

For fans, i think there is less hype, because most of us (unfortunatley so) know bama is going to win, probably fairly easily.
For TV...well yea it's their money maker so sure they're going to hype it.

Not even close.
The whole week before 11/5 I was literally in knots. It was almost too much anticipation.
This week, meh, I'm fine.

No comparison for a mid sept game to a nov game.
