I think you might have answered your query with your Ole Miss vs TAMU analysis. A letdown.

Ga Tech (5-0 woot woot) vs Duke (4-1) this weekend. It looks like ESPN3 is the only national coverage for this game, which I find unusual for two teams with a 9-1 combined record. Last time was on ESPN3 it was blacked out in my area. ☹ :mad:
