As improbable of comebacks that you'll ever see and to do it in back to back weeks is insane. Those were the ESPN win probabilities at points in the 2nd Half the last 2 weeks.

ESPN elected to have the Texas-Texas San Antonio game (36 point dogs) as their 7PM primetime slot.

That game was over in the 2nd quarter.

Earlier in the day on ESPN2, Pitt pulls off a comeback that likely wont be matched all season, in a P4 rivalry game.

Think ESPN would have liked a mulligan?

What I've seen from ESPN over the years is they put ranked teams on the better networks even if its not as good of a game. I remember one year they put a ranked Wake Forest game on against like GT or somebody like that over a game that would absolutely get better ratings due to the fanbases of the teams playing. Then last year or the year before, I remember they picked a ranked JMU or Coastal Carolina Sun Belt game for ESPN primetime over a decent Pitt game.
