Because no one is expecting Notre Dame to make a game of it, despite their ranking.

No one knew how the Texas vs LSU game was going to go, so it was interesting. Held some intrigue.

It was a 1 point game when they played in 2017. You are right that it is not getting the attention it probably deserves. Might be a really good game.

Because ESPN and ABC are owned by the same people.

Because TX fans are desperate ot say they're back so the game was hyped as their return to prominence. ND was in the playoff last year, so it's just a big game. Both teams know they are good

The LSU game was hyped by ESPN to promote Texas because they are contractually obligated to do so. It’s written into the LHN contract.

UGA will skull frick ND. ND hasn’t been a force since like ‘06. And LSU spanked them that year.

It’s easier to get hyped on a top 10 matchup when the favorite is playing at the underdogs house. Georgia opened as a two touchdown favorite and it’s at Athens. Sorry, but not much intrigue in that.

Because it's already been a recent occurence. LSU-Texas had the advantage of two top-tier programs who had some history but hadn't played in a long time (to most people's recollection) that happened to be border "rivals". There's a lot of storyline there to mine.

UGA vs Notre Dame is top OOC draw, but the history (recent and historically) isn't the same. The fact that they played, already, two years ago, removed the fresh "I've never seen it" angle that existed. Now, it's somewhat like the random week 1 kickoff games.
