Who gets it and what time do you think the games will be? Hopefully, they're not on at the same time.

Well thanks to Georgia’s sh**ing the bed in the bowl game, everybody thinks “Texas is back” and they’ll be ranked pretty high to start the season based on name alone.

So my guess is the LSU/Texas game since they are likely to cumulatively be ranked higher than Clemson/A&M.

Clemson A&M on ABC primetime
LSU Texas on Fox primetime

Gameday I could see it at Clemson if on competing networks and since Clemson is defending champs

I'm sure ESPN wants to make another trip to Austin but since they always do the Texas OU game that will suffice

Y'all could have also not blown the game against Auburn last year. A&M might have finished top 10 if that were the case.

This shouldn’t be a problem. LSU/Bama has been on gameday even though the game is on CBS.

Oh no doubt. Most of us think Jimbo did a pretty good job in year one and give him a B+ to A- grade for what he had to work with, but the Auburn game is always what brings his score down. Not something we expected to see, that was a very Sumlin-esque performance from our team. Hope he learns from it and is a better coach after it.

You do realize that game is never played in Austin, right? That's why the horn trolls are always on here trying to agitate for A&M to play them again, so that they'll have a decent game in Austin, as opposed to their neutral site game with OU.

I could see ESPN edging towards LSU-Texas for that very reason. How often do they get a chance to go to Austin? Of course, as pillow soft as the rest of the ACC has been, the A&M game may be their best opportunity for a trip to the home of the defending champs, so it could come down to which network is televising the LSU-Texas game (and if it's Fox, that might push ESPN to Clemson).

Probably. There were so many teams with three losses last year.

Tough call.. I'd bet Austin, but Clemson is the reigning champ.

and if you had played OU twice and Georgia or Texas at all, you would have had 4 more losses.

the only reason you played Clemson at all is due to you running from your series with Oregon when Oregon was good and Clemson sucked.

Yall lost to Maryland, WVU, and Ok State. Congrats on beating KSU by 5, Tech by 7, Baylor by 6, and Kansas by 7.
