I'm happy with ESPN doing them.
And I'm happy its moving away from Fox. They had no idea how to do college football.

So is this ESPN on ABC or ESPN on cable?
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.
ESPN on cable, I believe.
That's the way sports, save the Super Bowl and March Madness, appear to be headed.
It is on ESPN on cable. The only BCS game not part of this deal is the Rose Bowl which does it own seperate contract.
I'm with Roy. Fox Sports is just awful, IMO.
The Lost Decade Average Season: 74-88
2014-22 Average Season: 71-91
The Fox production of the last two BCS title games has been awful. The camera fixed on the band, the repetitive commercials, poor camera angles, and Thom Brennamen. Add it all up and it is painful.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
An untrained monkey and a parrot could have done a better job then FOX, glad to see ESPN get it.
Go Gators!
Agree with you on everything but Thom. I like his approach to calling a football game.
But you are right IMO, on everything else FOX is turrabull.
Witty signature.
And yet, on cable, it means those of us without cable are SOL. Great way to build the base, but then again, I'm sure I'm in the minority at this point.

It could prolly get higher ratings on ESPN IMO...
Honestly, I don't think companies are that upset about missing out on the advertising dollars represented by the demographic that doesn't have basic cable. Overall, the buying power of that demographic is just not that strong.
ehh..ESPN is just the Wal-Mart of sports television if you ask me. The consumer usually benefits, but other shows like fox sports net and comcast sports net just lowly die out because they can't compete with the giant.
I totally agree.
