| and the game will probably be an anticlimax. one team will show up and the final score will be 35-7. which in turn will set off a whole new round of "wow, what happened to ....?"

| From watching both teams play most of the year, I don't believe it is even possible to over hype this game.

| I dislike both of these universities, but I am more excited about this game than any other non-UT game in memory.

| Yeah they started doing a countdown ticker three weeks ago on Gameday! I knew then that they were going to hype this thing into oblivion.

Not only is this a late-season #1 vs. #2 matchup. It's also the biggest rivalry in all of college football. And on top of all that, the winner goes directly to the national title game.
All things considered, this is probably one of the biggest regular season games in the history of college football. Possibly THE biggest regular season game, ever.
There is no way to overhype it.
