. You don't think kicking off the season with a win over USC helps get voters attentions?


I dont see what neutral site does for it.

The game itself is obviously paramount not so much the location. I'm sorry but Texas Stadium is a better experience vs. BDS or Jordan Hare. That said, the importance of these OOC games is increasing therefore how best to facilitate? They are going to have to be neutral site mostly becuase its easier for both fan bases to attend. How many USC fans do you think would travel to Tuscaloosa vs. DFW? How many USC alumni do you think live in Alabama? How much easier is to fly to DFW from the west coast than to Tuscaloosa? How many more hotel rooms are their in DFW vs. Tuscaloosa? What sort of amenities does DFW offer vs. Tuscaloosa?

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of USC fans don't give a frick how nice Bama's campus is or care much about the "tailgating experience" or visiting BDS. They do care about the game and will attend if its convenient for them. I imgaine this holds true for fans from other parts of the country as well.
