That Wisconsin-LSU match-up in Green Bay will be amazing. Surely the Alabama-USC game gets prime time to top off a great night.

They both might. Since it's a home game for Wisky, I can see ABC getting the coverage and they'd want prime time. ESPN has been a major player in our neutral site games. BUT, it's ABC/ESPN. Fox has broadcast rights with the B1G, CBS does as well.

Who broadcasts the games is my biggest question.

I'd think the LSU-Wisconsin game would get maybe a 2:30 CT kick-off on ABC with Todd Blackledge and Brad Nessler (if they're still together) on ABC, then Alabama-USC would get primetime. NBC or Fox would get the Texas-Notre Dame game and that would be a 7:00 kick-off, while Auburn-Clemson get ESPN.

Too much football!

@bamaraider I could live with that.

Setting aside it's Auburn when I say this...I really have no interest in watching that AU vs CU game. I would IF it were the ONLY game on.

EDIT: Then again, I think about the 2008 game when Auburn played Vandy. That's a game I never thought I'd watch, but did—and enjoyed it.

I hope CBS gets our game with Gary and Verne doing the call
