The gap is a lot smaller than when we were in the MWC because of the strength of the conference relative to others is night and day, which is why our next few years of 5-7 seasons is expected vs 10 win seasons in MWC.

Here's the big concern for the Big 12 moving forward

Utah had good numbers because of their opponents

I was just going to say this...

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

mudpupper

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.

DubuMfalme

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

Sorry to be stickler, but non-con cause big difference here between BYU and Utah

CLCougar

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

11/30/23 6:54am

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

CLCougar

11/30/23 8:31am

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

krindorr

11/30/23 8:36am

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

ManicBlue

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

jreid191

11/29/23 2:56pm

A whopping 432,000....

FulhamUte

I was asking about those teams individually for the 2022 season, not their

jreid191

The '22 TCU-Kansas State CCG had 9.4M viewers. Compared to 10.8 for SEC and 10.7

I mean, here are Utah's highest viewership games...

FulhamUte

11/29/23 3:08pm

K-State had 12M last year, TCU had 26M

I’d expect byu/utah to be about the same within the first 5 years of XII

GlutealGuy

11/29/23 2:56pm

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

krindorr

11/29/23 3:20pm

This is why we weren’t excited about the move. Had to do it, but no

It's also why it made a lot of sense to get Utah

This is the big elephant in the room nobody is talking about. It's why 3-4 more

11/29/23 3:29pm

Which is why it's crucial that BYU figures out the on field problems quick

GlutealGuy

11/29/23 3:31pm

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

krindorr

11/29/23 3:36pm

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

GlutealGuy

11/29/23 3:38pm

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

krindorr

11/29/23 3:41pm

Campaigning doesn’t work.

DirtyWater

11/29/23 8:45pm

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

CallSign

11/29/23 3:44pm

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

Magneto

We are already in P2 world

CasualFan

11/29/23 4:31pm

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

krindorr

11/29/23 4:47pm

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

FMOCIE

Those data are useless without corrections

CasualFan

Luckily, I already made those adjustments

krindorr

Cool. Well done!

CasualFan

11/29/23 3:32pm

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

This was all known when the B12 media deal was cut. Not the exact numbers, but

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

krindorr

11/29/23 4:20pm

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

krindorr

11/29/23 4:22pm

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

krindorr

11/29/23 4:51pm

The Big 12 is NOT a power conference

CallingDingo

11/29/23 6:23pm

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

rockyrd

Everything is from sportsmediawatch

Impressed BYU is that high given the quality of football played

Three games were the main ones - Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St

There is a reason why 6 of those teams got P2 call ups. Why is this list a

Cougarbib

11/29/23 8:45pm

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

DirtyWater

11/29/23 8:51pm

I find the data encouraging

Hill4Heisman

11/29/23 8:58pm

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

krindorr

11/29/23 9:37pm

And how do u propose that we grow that pond that we are now in?

Cougarbib

11/29/23 10:20pm

Part of the reason BYU's numbers were down had to do with the quality of the

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

krindorr

11/30/23 12:07am

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

Cougarbib

11/30/23 12:42am

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

Bald Eagle

11/30/23 7:42am

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

Surprised by UCLA's numbers being so low.

There's a couple supposedly elite schools that consistently draw way worse than expected

Every time big teams leave a conference it leaves a power vacuum. Somebody.

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