People actually enjoy two good to great teams playing each other. Should have been in Provo.

Bama will turn this into another Oregon-UGA type snorefest

They care about the brand matchup. Welcome to 2022 college football.

Another national audience loss televised from Austin. ESPN owned LHN been televising a shite show from Austin for 10+ years...

Nothing new to see... move along.

Will they kick us out of the stadium for horns down? Because a lot of Bama fans will be leaving early if that is the case.

Honest to God, I have no idea what is happening in Provo. Is that where BYU is? Who are they playing?

People will tune in to see a once good program that has become a true bottom dweller one that has next to no chance of ever being relevant again, get completely destroyed by a coach that has made a mockery of them for 13 years

Nobody cares about two G5 schools playing each other

They can't go to Provo because a volleyball player said BYU is racist.

The big question is does Ewers get his mullet ripped off in the first or second quarter?

Because reality? Even though technically Baylor/ BYU is the only ranked vs. ranked game, it's still two teams nobody cares about at all.

People would rather see Bama maul a hapless ex-blueblood that grew soft and lost their horns.

Just more fun than seeing Baptists & Mormons fake fight.

This game is such a snore fest that even Matt Barrie on ESPN mentioned the spread has gone up to 20 points and with barely a whisper he states, “can’t wait for the big one in Austin”, as he nearly fell asleep at the desk while talking

Nothing wrong with Game Day broadcasting from a world class university in a world class city in a game involving college football royalty. Ala has won one once in nine tries v Texas, and is likely to improve to 2 of 10 when all is said and done. That’s worth watching. But should be a great atmosphere. Hook ‘em!

If Jess Simms is a peloton instructor, she needs to actually ride the damn bike! Way too much junk in the trunk

BAMA/UT averaged 7M viewers per week in ‘21 & Baylor/BYU 2M.

Simple math.

It is almost as disrespectful as being ranked #10, yet being a -3 point underdog to BYU.

Gameday would go to Gainesville for UF/UK, or Knoxville for UT/Pitt before going to watch Baylor travel to play BYU
