What Was Up With ABC's Soundtrack For The Michigan-Ohio State Game?

Ohio State completed its undefeated, ineligible season by defeating Michigan 26-21 in college football's best rivalry game today, but viewers seemed consumed as much by ABC/ESPN's choice in bump music as they were the action happening on the field. We're not sure what prompted the eclectic mix, but here's the full soundtrack for your perusal (with one exception of a song we couldn't identify). Is there a theme here?
