quote:
Texas is scared of losing City of Houston completely to the SEC. SEC has been dominant in TV ratings since A&M's move.
Aggy hasn't received the propaganda memo yet, I see.
From June 6:
TV ratings show SEC, Big 12 in close race to claim dominance in Houston

From the very article you quoted.
1. Alabama vs. Texas A&M
2. Alabama vs. Florida (SEC title game)
3. Alabama vs. LSU
4. Oklahoma vs. Texas
5. Houston vs. Temple (AAC title game)
6. Alabama vs. Auburn
7. Baylor vs. TCU
8. Arkansas vs. Texas A&M
9. Houston vs. Navy
10. Alabama vs. Tennessee
11. Ole Miss vs. Texas A&M
12. Michigan vs. Ohio State
13. LSU vs. Florida
14. Michigan State vs. Iowa (Big Ten title game)
15. Oklahoma vs. Baylor
16. Texas A&M vs. Arizona State
17. Oklahoma State vs. Baylor
18. Texas vs. Notre Dame
19. Oklahoma State vs. Texas
20. Texas vs. TCU
Analyzing this further, removing the championship games from the group, you get the following teams in the 17 other top rated games.
Alabama - 4
Texas A&M - 4
Texas - 4
Baylor - 3
LSU - 2
Oklahoma - 2
Oklahoma State - 2
TCU - 2
Arkansas - 1
Florida - 1
Houston - 1
Michigan - 1
Navy - 1
Ohio State - 1
Ole Miss - 1
Tennessee - 1
Going even further in depth, let's examine games on this list that took place on the same date (or even at the same time):
September 5th, 2015:
16 - Texas A&M/Arizona State vs. 18 - Texas/Notre Dame (same timeslot)
September 26th, 2015:
8-Arkansas/Texas A&M vs. 19-Oklahoma State/Texas
October 3rd, 2015: 20-Texas/TCU outperformed every other game that week in the Houston area.
October 10th, 2015: 4-Oklahoma/Texas outperformed every other game that week in the Houston area. (Texas A&M had a bye that week)
October 17th, 2015: 1-Alabama/Texas A&M vs. 13-LSU/Florida
October 24th, 2015: 10-Alabama/Tennessee vs. 11-Texas A&M/Ole Miss
November 7th, 2015: 3-Alabama/LSU outperformed every other game in the Houston area
November 14th, 2015: 15-Oklahoma/Baylor outperformed every other game in the Houston area
November 21st, 2015: 17-Oklahoma State/Baylor outperformed every other game in the Houston area
November 27-28, 2015: 6-Alabama/Auburn vs. 7-Baylor/TCU (Friday) vs. 9-Houston/Navy (Friday) vs. 12-Michigan/Ohio State
It goes without saying that Alabama/Florida was the highest rated game during championship weekend.
So what does that mean?
In every instance in which one of the top 20 games in the Houston area was an SEC game, that game outperformed every other conference in the Houston area that weekend. The most telling? A&M outperforming Texas in Houston in the same timeslot
So, if you remove all the games that were outmatched during that weekend, the CORRECT top games in the Houston area would look like this:
1 - Alabama/Texas A&M
2 - Alabama/Florida
3 - Alabama/LSU
4 - Oklahoma/Texas
5 - Alabama/Auburn
6 - Arkansas/Texas A&M
7 - Alabama/Tennessee
8 - Oklahoma/Baylor
9 - Texas A&M/Arizona State
10 - Oklahoma State/Baylor
11 - Texas/TCU
One final point: SEC Network won't release ratings until year 3 (2016 season). As a result, we don't know how those games performed in the Houston market.
