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.

A fellow offered me $ 900 each for my four tickets on Monday. No way! Wouldn’t miss this game for anything. Plus, I’d be camping out in the back yard for a month if I sold them

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.
