Notre Dame Bias?
It isn't like ESPN needs more advertising for their site. However, I just wanted to point out the results of their "Most Exciting Saturday Game" poll that they are currently running on their website. The results are very telling about what people think about their football.
Auburn and LSU dominant the SEC region, with only Tennessee and Florida like their contest which should be big in the SEC East and telling about Tennessee. Miami and Louisville is only important in the state of Kentucky and the West Virginia fans want to know about the upstart Cardinals. And Nebraska and their Big 12 opponents are the only ones concerned about their game with USC, other than those on the West Coast.
So it seems like other than in areas which are directly affected by four of the games, the rest of the country just wants to see Notre Dame. I guess it helps that they are playing Michigan...
But wow, is the country polarized in their picks.

It may be helpful to know that the wonderful fans in the Pacific Northwest all monitor Michigan, as they have beat out many of our teams in various Rose Bowl games (grr). Also, the USC game was kind of a no brainer, wasn't it? Not too exciting.
