I have to give props to both programs for scheduling a BCS conference opponent for out of conference play.
I'm sure the money is going to be nice, too.

I wonder why they didn't do a home-and-home deal? It's good to see teams from BCS conferences willing to schedule one another, but I wish it weren't a neutral site deal. Save that for championship games and bowls...

They've been trying to schedule marque match-ups at neutral sites for early week match-ups. Example Virgina Tech-Boise State at FedEx Field and TCU-Oregon State at Cowboys Stadium this year. Last year it was BYU-Oklahoma at Cowboys Stadium. They also do that ACC-SEC game every year at the Georgia Dome the beginning of the season.
