Interesting that there's no Clemson on this !ist.

Texas A&M at Clemson is week 2, which they have projected as LSU at Texas. I could see that one going either way, but you'd think that they'd want to get a Game Day in Clemson at some point during the year whereas they already are projected to cover Texas vs Oklahoma (in Dallas). It's not as much of a marquee matchup, but Clemson vs Syracuse has been great football for the past couple of years, and that's Week 3. Do you pick Alabama @ South Carolina over that? Either game could be a blowout. Finally, the Clemson at South Carolina game has a lot of bad blood, but that would be going up against all of the great Week 14 rivalry games. The A&M game seems like the best choice.

They're projecting ESPN Game Day to be at 7 SEC sites out of 15 weeks (including the conference championship weekend). The B1G would host 4, the Big 12 would get two, and the Big 12 and the Ivy League would each get one. For visiting teams in non-conference games, they add in 2 Notre Dame appearances, another SEC appearance (LSU @ Texas), and another Pac 12 (Oregon at Auburn). Basically, they want to have just under half of their teams to be SEC (43%), just under a quarter to be B1G (23%), 10% Big 12, 10% Pac 12, 7% Notre Dame, another 7% token Ivy League representation ... but no ACC. You can even break it down further by ranking the teams' TV value according to ESPN:
  1. Alabama, Georgia, and the rest of the SEC combined (tied with 4 appearances each)
  2. (n/a)
  3. (n/a)
  4. Ohio State (3 appearances)
  5. LSU, Notre Dame, Texas, Oregon, Michigan, and the rest of B1G combined (tied with 2 appearances each)
  6. (n/a)
  7. (n/a)
  8. (n/a)
  9. (n/a)
  10. Oklahoma, Princeton, and Yale (tied at 1 appearance each)
Clemson and the ACC don't make the cut. The entire Group of 5 + Independents don't make the cut.

Geographically, there would be one game (Oregon at Washington) played west of Austin, Texas.
