Interestingly, I went and looked at Mandel's 2022 kings, barons, knights, peasants classification and the top 25 I had listed by viewership included every team he had as a king or baron (or emperor - Alabama) plus three others... Washington, Ole Miss and Colorado (who has had a huge change in interest the past two years)
So that's largely the group we fall in
Arizona St, Baylor, Cal, GaTech, K-State, Louisville, Miss St, Missouri, NC State, Northwestern, Oklahoma St, Pitt, S Carolina, Stanford, TCU, Texas Tech, Utah, VT, West Virginia types
Which isn't a bad thing. And for all the people arguing that we're a stronger football brand than Boston College, Duke, Indiana, Kansas, Purdue, Syracuse, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest etc, I 100% agree with that
