this list has the look of someone that is simply more interested in the "story" part of the matchup than the competitiveness or importance of the game.
it's just another indication that ESPN is slowly becoming the "Inside Edition" or "ET" of Sports.
i generally don't have any disdain for ESPN or their motives for what they program, but it does seem of late that more and more of their programming choices and lead stories on SC read more like gossip column headlines than anything really to do with sports.
the whole "who's NOW" thing they got going on is just ridiculous, and looking at the list of games MS has listed, minus the very few exceptions, it has more to do with the coach going to play a former team and the story to go with that, than anything else.
if you take in that light, then fine with me, and you also understand that it's pure fodder and has little to do with game itself. Cause no way UNC/Miami is on that list if Butch Davis isn't the coach at UNC. Same with LSU/Bama.....NS being at Bama instantly gives that game rub.
