Yup, the Big 12 is ... Basically the old MWC

Maybe slightly better, but it's a conference led by BYU, Utah and TCU with support from Iowa St, West Virginia and Oklahoma St.

Which is better than the MWC of BYU, Utah and TCU with support from Air Force and New Mexico

But the B1G and SEC are also much improved in that time. So the gap might be larger than it was back then

Utah had good numbers because of their opponents

This, the new B12 doesn't have any teams that are a national draw. Ratings will

Utah-BYU will probably be the highest viewed game next year.

Let's just hope it's a decent window and network...

FulhamUte

11/29/23 3:01pm

The best thing for the B12 is Colorado, BYU, and Utah to all be competitive.

Partially true... But the issue is that's true for everyone

Baylor and Weber weren't rated so drew none, and yes Utah/Florida drew more than BYU/Arkansas, but the main point is ...

Valid points. I'll be curious to see how viewership varies between BYU and Utah against common opponents. I

CLCougar

Yeah, it honestly wouldn't surprise me to have BYU ahead of Utah or vice versa

krindorr

Do u really need a calculator to realize that B1G and SEC viewership will dwarf

Cougarbib

11/30/23 1:24pm

The same can be said for BYU

Big-Q

11/29/23 7:13pm

Pac 12 numbers were helped by the number of ranked teams this year. Oregon St and Washington St will be nowhere near

I'm curious as to what the TCU and Kansas St viewership numbers were last year.

A whopping 432,000....

100%. If teams don't get into the B1G/SEC soon, they're going to be left behind

This is why I don't blame Kwhitt and Utah for their attitude towards the XII

GlutealGuy

100%, it's definitely gauche to so blatantly campaign....but it also worked out for Oregon and Washington

krindorr

Campaigning doesn’t work.

If you’re not P2, you’re Tier 2…coming soon

What’s not to say a P1. The Sec and B10 have plenty of dead weight members.

I think we're already there, but it's not solidified yet

No way, go do the research of the old MWC and I’m sure the gap isn’t close

Let's do some back of the envelope math here

Your second point is the key one. Sure, the big 2 are separating themselves but

Cool. Well done!

New Big 12 is a very watered down market for viewership. It is what it is.

No, B12 needs brands. Utah is a bigger brand than both. BTW Wazzu had lower

If you go over the last 5 years to get a a better, more stable metric, here's the PAC/XII ranks

For context, Alabama is #1 in VScore with 5.42M, Ohio St is #2 at 5.21M

FYI, Ohio St vs Michigan drew over 19M viewers in that single game

The Big 12 is NOT a power conference

I don't buy it. No source listed. Are you telling me Utah has more viewers

Cougarbib

11/29/23 8:45pm

The SEC and B1G got larger, with schools that draw bigger than B12, so viewers

I find the data encouraging

Hill4Heisman

Great for BYU to be one of the better brands/draws...not so good for the Big 12 if biggest draws are BYU, Utah, TCU

How does the Big 12 compare to ACC numbers?

Bald Eagle

11/29/23 10:51pm

It does not matter. Eventually ACC will also get cherry picked.

Cougarbib

11/29/23 10:55pm

Honestly, I think it's stronger than the ACC

How bout a future Big 12 ACC team list. Get rid of future SEC, B1G, and PAC 2

Thanks for pulling that together. I think that is the competition for the Big12

It's a lot like the recent MWC/AAC competition for the best G5 conference

For those worried about outliers driving this, just take the median viewership.
