Most popular SEC programs for Television Viewership (2013-2019): 1. Alabama- 1.000 2. Auburn- 0.962 3. Texas A&M- 0.846 4. Georgia- 0.805 5. Florida- 0.756 6. LSU- 0.748 7. S. Carolina- 0.718 8. Miss St.- 0.700 9. Arkansas- 0.699 10. Ole Miss- 0.695 11. Tennessee- 0.681 12. Kentucky- 0.678 13. Missouri- 0.578 14. Vanderbilt- 0.436 The rankings came out similar to what I thought. The Big 5 (discounting Tennessee) along with Texas A&M are the Top 6. The Aggies have such a large alumni base and fan base along with being in such a massively populated state, they produce good ratings. I'm not shocked that Auburn was #2 but I am surprised at how closely behind they are to Alabama. Auburn is only fractionally less popular to watch on TV than Alabama.... that is surprising. How come Florida doesn't produce good television ratings? My guess is because their offense post-Tebow has been flat out boring. National viewers just don't want to watch the Gators. The same goes for LSU. Their offense has stepped it up this season, but from a national perspective, LSU just isn't that popular.

Missouri situation was the bad exposure that included the protest and the change of head coach that was not well known to now banned bowl game this year that had nothing to do with current coaching staffs and players. The players that was involved cheating were kicked off team. So far this year Missouri is playing a lot better and have been slowly improving each year since Odom been the head coach. So give Missouri 2 more years and should be a lot better. Fans are slowly coming back to go to the games and watching on T.V.. Give Missouri credit for sticking with Odom and getting things turned around at the school and on the football field. Missouri is on the upswing right now. Looking good for the future.
