There are other FCS matchups that would be of interest that same day.

Let’s also keep in mind that NDSU had to be in the midst of their current dynasty before ESPN headed out fo Fargo....

Best thing Kennesaw State may have going is the site. Atlanta is a better selling point than Fargo, Davis, etc. Like the realtors say, the three most important things are "location, location, location."

i think what brought them to Fargo was the location; small college town, snow, the whole town out to watch. Can't imagine that Atlanta would have that type of atmosphere.

And hadn't NDSU knocked off 3-5 big-time FBS schools in a row before the visit? Not going to happen KSU.

Missoula seems like a natural fit for College Game Day.

As usual, you are probably right...I was thinking more of Atlanta as a place that is more attractive to the business and money people at ESPN. Bigger town, easier flights, likelihood of available equipment and crew....and that the talent, both behind and in front of the cameras would rather spend Friday night in Atlanta than in smaller rural areas like Fargo or Davis.

I think NDSU owns the Big Ten and Big XII. They could easily fit into the Big Ten West and displace Minnesota or Illinois. ....Too bad for the Bison that they didn't schedule Nebraska this year.

Keep in mind that JSU-KSU is at the Braves’ new yard in Cobb County, so it is not even in Atlanta proper.

Believe me-it doesn’t. I think Sherman took care of that. I’ve been there a few times and don’t care if I ever go back. Horrible traffic too.
