T-town News article
According to the linked article, It's not even close.
Looking at the 2 year average for each game:
Wisc H-H: $4M + $0 = $2M/year
Wisc NS: $4m/year
USC H-H: $4M + $0 = $2M/year
USC NS: $6.5M/year
FSU H-H: $4M + $0 = $2M/year
FSU NS: $5M/year
$6M average for H-H games over 3 years versus $15.5M for NS.

But there's an economic reality element that is too hard to ignore. Consider this: Alabama will reportedly make a combined $15.5 million for its three neutral-site games from 2015-17 (Wisconsin $4 million, Southern Cal $6.5, Florida State $5 million).
If Alabama went with a home-and-home series instead, it would profit at most about $4 million for the one home game, and then, when it went on the road to fulfill the contractual obligation, it would make nothing.
