The ND Game in 2013 in China works IF the 2014 ND game is at Stanford.  This, of course, will not happen because SC owns the even year Thanksgiving visit from ND.

Since ND is not going to be off cycle against our Big Game on their side, it might be possible to break the peak and valley problem by moving the Big Game cycle.  Big Game 2013 in Shanghai would solve that problem.

No doubt that Stanford and C.a.l are the two schools that would actually draw a crowd in China.  Ex-pats, locals fond of the schools, and school alums willing to travel would make it viable.  I am almost not kidding.  Hard to imagine any other two schools in the conference doing a better job at drawing a crowd.

Then we would see which school has the most REAL loyal fans.

I can't tell whether this is tongue-in-cheek.
