Sixth-ranked Oregon football will be playing in front of the entire country when they face off with Arizona State. The Sun Devils (5-5) are in the middle of a four-game losing streak that includes a recent field-storming loss to the proud Beavers of Oregon State.
If the Devils are middling, why would ABC/ESPN choose to make Tempe, Arizona, the center of the college football world?
It might be because FOX has rights to the only top ten matchup of the weekend with Ohio State and Penn State. It might be because all of the best SEC teams are playing Western Carolina and Squahawkey Canyon Institute of Technology instead of a ninth conference game.
