Some takeaways:
- Of those 17 games, 14 involve an SEC team with Ohio St/Oregon, USC/Michigan, and Colorado/Nebraska the only games to break 5M without an SEC team involved
- In total each conference is represented
- SEC: 22 times (11 different teams)
- Big 10: 8 times (5 different teams)
- ACC: 2 times (Clemson + Miami)
- Notre Dame: 1 time
- Big 12: 1 time (Colorado)
- The 6 biggest Big 12 games all involved Colorado. Only 5 Big 12 involved games without Colorado have done better than Colorado's 7th best performance (2.02M). No Big 12 game has broken 3M without incoming Colorado. The non-Colorado Big 12 games to break 2M are
- West Virginia / Penn St 2.99M
- Kansas St / Arizona 2.58M
- Iowa St / Iowa: 2.28M
- Utah / Oklahoma St 2.14M
- Utah / Baylor 2.08M
- This means 10 of the top 11 Big 12 games have involved a new addition
- Over half of the 5M+ games (9/17) involved at least one team that changed conferences in the offseason.
- Another 3 involve some of the most desired potential additions (Notre Dame, Clemson, Miami). Florida St doesn't show up...but barely since they did get 4.99M against Georgia Tech.
- The teams that show up the most are
- 4x: Texas, Alabama
- 3x: Georgia, Oklahoma
- 2x: Tennessee, Michigan, USC
- 1x: Ohio St, Oregon, LSU, Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Clemson, Kentucky, Miami, Florida, South Carolina, Colorado, Nebraska, Auburn, Wisconsin
