And, personally, I'm just not sure how ell our fans will travel to Dallas.

I tend to agree with this, but, it is important to keep in mind that there are a surprising number of Carolina grads living in Texas. I can think of about 10 buddies from college just off the top of my head that went to USC from the Metroplex alone.

My wife and I are expecting our first any day now, but if we weren't, I can tell you I'd head to Dallas, if only for 36 hours. It's an easy flight for me; I wouldn't do the same for any other potential destination save (maybe) Atlanta. And even then, I really can't get excited about playing Duke.

It's a gamble for the Cotton Bowl folks, no doubt. And whoever we play in that game (likely Baylor), is also a bigger challenge than Wisconsin or Iowa. I think the risk may very well be worth the reward, though.
