BackPacker Intervention Needed

You're right, which is why I also posted this:

AND...I'll add that preferably it is one of: BYU, ISU, Boise State or UNLV...I'd settle for an ACC squad too, but then that just elevates them as the 3rd best conference that everyone know will get picked apart by SEC and B1G for their biggest brands down the road anyway.

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

And most importantly, who cares? BYU is 7-0!

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

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

according to those numbers it could just be a one conference system, but even

That's what happens when those are the matchups slotted into the prime windows

True...but there's also a reason those teams get the best windows and the promotion

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.
