This gives you weeks to buy tickets before we know where we are playing.

Don't make me laugh. At any one of those games the schools each receive something on the order of 16K tickets apiece. That leaves another 30 to 70K to be bought by the public, ie. the local movers and shakers, corporations and other locals and near locals. Some will go to travel agencies, some to scalpers, but most will go to Texas football fans. With the notable exception of Austin, Texas is a decidedly southern state. NASCAR, Moon Pie, RC Cola, boys named Bubba and the Confederate flag on everything from smokeless tobacco tins to grain silos.

If you think a Texas crowd is going to root for a team from the state that produced Sherman over satan or an SEC team you are high.

Just as there are -- I'm looking for a generous word here -- let's leave it at -- "misguided" Buckeye fans who root for Notre Dame over Michigan, I'm sure there are a handful of Texas nut jobs who would root for OSU in a game against Arkansas, but for the remaining multitudes blood is thicker than water and bourbon.
