nope, it is on ESPN as are the five other "Big 6" bowl games

I checked.  You are correct.  I apologize. 

I went to the introduction of David Shaw at the Claremont Country Club in 2011 when he was named the new coach.  Rod Gilmore was the moderator, and he made the more entertaining comments after Shaw left.  He began by saying that ESPN (his employer!) knew that they can only show so many strongest-man contests, and that a playoff was inevitable because ESPN knew that was $1 billion in revenue out on the table.  He remarked that the most powerful man on the field is the guy who lets officials know when the cameras are back live.  Count me in as an old-timer who watched Jim Plunkett on NBC in 1971 with Curt Gowdy doing the play by play.  I guess I have to accept that ESPN really does control college football now.
