why did ESPN put it on in primetime this weekend?


Because they think it has a high probability to be an upset

Well I understand that, and ESPN does too obviously, but I guess I was directing the question more towards all the people here who've been insisting otherwise all week.

why did ESPN put it on in primetime this weekend? Wouldn't it make more sense to choose the LSU-aTm matchup of top 20 teams? Why relegate such a great game to the dreaded 11:00 am Pam Ward slot if no one cares about the TSIO?


ESPN didn't want to pit the A&M game vs the Texas-Baylor game on ABC and split the texas audience. This really isn't rocket science but you seem to be struggling with it.

When is the last time you saw SEC vs SEC on ABC?

So why is Texas Baylor getting a better slot than than LSU-A&M exactly? Just seems odd that such a great game would be at 11 when games no one cares about are on in primetime.

Because the Big 12 has a different contract with a different network.

I know you're not this stupid.
