Now of course ESPN pushes them on viewers more than anyone so they aren't innocent. They're looking out for themselves

and I think their power hurts the sport. Bowls and back room deals with shady bowl execs and kickbacks to conference leaderships are the real bad guys.

Through 7 games, BYU has a 5.8M total viewers. Here's the 17 different single games that have drawn 5M+ this year

Not a big deal since only one game involved a Big 12 team anyway

How do “they” come up with these numbers? Seems easy to manipulate for whatever

So many ways to consume media, satellite, streaming to home

It’s a two conference system. We are fooling ourselves if we think it’s anything

Only ESPN made it that way

No it didn't. History and recruiting, a blind eye to cheating, racial makeup of the south, a 50 year jump start, etc did

What’s the ranking of the teams when the game was played. People watch top ranked teams play. That’s why the AP poll

Also...we really need a team that isn't SEC or B1G to win the Natty. Or at least

I think those numbers are wrong, everyone knows Utah and Rising are most watched

One thing this post illustrates is the importance of rankings, even preseason

True - not sure there's a way to fix that though

Pattern: top ranked SEC teams and top dog B10 teams.
