    1. Texas vs Notre Dame
    2. Alabama vs Georgia
    3. Texas vs OU
    4. Alabama vs Auburn
    5. USC vs Notre Dame
    6. Georgia vs Fla.

    A lot of Texas people are going to South Bend, more than a few are going without tickets in the hope that onsite scalpers/sellers will be cheaper on game day than current prices on places like Stub Hub.

    The BC game at Fenway is more expensive than Texas or USC. I wonder why it's not on the list at or toward the top?

    I don't know Sid, if you look at those games both teams are big time, no big time vs avg team on the list. Maybe they just picked the big vs big games and then did he search for ticket prices.

    But I did look up Notre Dame vs BC at Fenway on StubHub....Man are those tickets sky high, I've never seen anything like it. Granted Fenway is small for a football venue, so that no doubt drives up the prices, but WOW who can afford to pay those prices.

    You know, Terry, they may be looking at the "street" prices, the secondary/scalper prices. That would be why they only are showing the big time games. That would make sense.

    You know I was all fired up to go to ND/Texas but my sources for tickets at face went away this year, for that game at least and the online ticket agencies have them of course but I'm just not going to pay 400-700$ for a ticket in the endzone. I'm staying home and watching on TV.

    I am willing to step out on a branch and say that as long as Urban and Harbaugh remain as coaches of those two schools this 16 point preseason line will never be remotely threatened as the largest line for that game.
