No, actually I don' think it is.
It's the BCS that will determine it. They are a Cartel and they will decide. However, the networks (ABC/ESPN) and bowls have $$ at their disposal that can influence the decision. PSU and ND, from the network perspective, would draw more ratings on seperate nights. A game featuring both would be great but the research indicates more viewers by splitting those teams. Secondly, there is a precipitous drop-off of travel strength from ND, PSU and tOSU to VT. Thirdly, the bowls are going to take PSU and ND first. And finally, NBC is NOT involved.
tOSU v ND in the Fiesta. If that is not the pick, then sell your PepsiCo stock because they are going to take a one time cash payment hit this quarter.
