nice half assed shot at the sec. a) the likelihood of an sec team having an open date matching up with byu at this point is pretty damn slim. b) did you actually read the article, or just post it so you could mention that sec shit?? b/c the article says in plain english "Athletic director Tom Holmoe is on record saying his first priority for replacing Nevada would be a similar opponent — not another BCS team"
Penn State and Texas A&M is not good theater.
This is a weak analysis. In reality the Alamo Bowl was excellent theater. PSU roared back from a 14-0 deficit and stuffed TAMU at the goal line late in the fourth quarter.
Truth be told, no college football game would have had good ratings when matched against the Patriots pursuit of perfection on three networks.
