Depending on the circumstances surrounding the rematch


it might generate more interest than you think. The date and time of the CCG, where both teams are ranked at the time the CCG is played, whether the CCG has potential Playoff implications or not, and how close/far apart the CCG and the regular season game are from each other can have influence on the casual fan's perception of the rematch.

Depending on which network wins the rights to televise the game could even determine what time slot the Big XII's CCG is televised in which may (or may not) require moving another conference's CCG to a different time slot. Since the Red River Shootout is played in October, enough games will have been played afterwards that casual viewers may not be turned off by it since a lot could have changed for both teams. Whereas Baylor and TCU typically play their game towards the end of the regular season (last two or three weeks), so casual viewers may not be as interested in seeing a rematch played so soon after the regular season game. In 2012, Stanford had to play UCLA during the final week of the regular season (won 35-17) and then play UCLA again the following week in the CCG. Even though the CCG ended up being a good game (Stanford won 27-24), I don't think there was a lot of interest from the casual fans to watch the rematch especially since Stanford manhandled UCLA the entire game the week before.
