When will the NCAA and Fox — or Washington politicians for that matter — realize the enormous commerical and economic benefit that could redound from playing this game on college football’s true day — Saturday.
Think of the pre-game parties, the commercials, the number of beer and wings sold. It could spark a mini-economic boom a month before the Super Bowl. If anyone can figure out why this hasn’t happened yet, drop us a comment on this story.
That indoor game Ohio State and LSU played a couple of years ago on a Monday gave the impression that not many people were watching. Maybe it was the lighting or something. Most people are likely too caught up with work and their home life on most weeknights, and this college football showcase deserves a better platform. Oh well, at least we’re moving deeper into the week with tonight’s game.

The star wattage in this game is stunning, to say the least, and reports have discussed each of the aforementioned players ad nauseam. Still, when examining the rosters, it’s difficult to find a clear-cut advantage that isn’t countered from the other side. For instance, Alabama may boast the toughest running game on the ‘Horns’ season schedule, but Texas can counter with a spread passing attack the likes of which doesn’t exist in the SEC.
