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

Then they don't... Neither UGA nor ND has played anyone yet. I don't see UGA blowing out ND, but I tend to bet conservative with my teams anyway. Spread is UGA -14 and I would be surprised if they cover.

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.

ESPN isn't hyping it as much because it's not on their family of networks.


They're sending Gameday, because they'd be idiots not to, but they're not going to hype up a game being covered by a "rival" network.

Don’t scare off the UT fans, there’s not many of them left. If you leave a few gruden rumors out maybe more will come.

lol Always had a respect for Vol fans. Know they aren't band wagon fans and all the ones I've known have been good people. If Pruitt doesn't work out I hope Gruden takes yall back to the top

I think it’s because everyone saw the game last year in South Bend and saw ND lose. If they’d have won it would hyped as revenge game back home in Athens.
Also, you are not competing for many of the same kids in recruiting and geographically the distance doesn’t make for some great rivalry to develop.LSU and Texas alums cross paths in that part of the world daily making it a border war.

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