... When everyone knows Ole Miss v. AU and LSU v. Scar will be much closer games.

Are national audiences really going to sit through a 4+TD blowout by the 3rd qtr?

Gotta get Gary his weekly dose of Bama licking I guess

Will they be favored by less this SEC season?

Other than championship game and the undefeated Razorbacks I mean.

Hoping for a 2015 or 2009 type of game (both UA NC years) or a highlight reel film to add to Heisman, Maxwell, Biletnikoff, and Doak Walker campaigns of Bama players.

Plus, JP sideline blowups are classic television.

Any of the other games would be closer to show.

Apparently the billion dollar industry determined it was in fact more attractive of a match up than watching your slaw arse team

Bama is a national draw with a high ranking who played in the highest profile game of the year last weekend. The other two teams are less of a draw and are unranked. Therefore, more viewers will likely tune into a Bama blowout over a close LSU/South Carolina or Auburn/Ole Miss game under the circumstances. Money in other words.

Yeah I'll watch LSU vs. USC but I would question an impartial viewers desire to do so. It's going to be ugly. Bama fatigue and intolerable Gary crawling up their asses like a hamster, but it's still the better game to put on.

Alabama, Georgia, and Florida are the only great teams in the league and the latter 2 are off today.

Because none of those teams have a shot at making the CFB Playoff. People would much rather see a non-competitive game featuring one elite relevant team than a competitive game between two shite irrelevant teams. Would you rather watch the Chiefs vs. Broncos or the Falcons vs. Lions this weekend? I bet the Falcons vs. Lions will be a more competitive game but I would much rather watch Mahomes and the Chiefs play.

The better question is why does the rest of the league allow itself to be held hostage by keeping this annual game on the schedule when one team has beaten the other 14 times in a row? That's retarded.
