And here's why.
Long story short, the lineup of games that day is extremely weak.
Games worth mentioning:
-Notre Dame/ Virginia
-East Carolina/ Florida
-LSU/ Miss State
-Tennessee/ Oklahoma
-Oregon/ Michigan State
Now it's pretty easy to see what the obvious choice is here, but i think we've gotten lucky on this one. Last year for the second game of the season, Gameday went to Oregon for Mich State vs. Oregon. I highly doubt they would go back, again, for the exact same game, the exact same week as last year.
The only other threat would be LSU/ MS but at that point our game and their game will both be a Top 25 matchup. ESPN would have to choose between our game, which is two ENORMOUS fanbases, or their game, which is one enormous fanbase and one tiny fanbase. I like our odds.
