Having a West coast team makes a substantial difference.

You are correct. Oregon actually brings in huge numbers. When Oregon is playing in a National Title game, the Portland market hits over a 30.0 rating yet its the type of market that might score just a 4.0 or a 5.0 when the Ducks aren't involved.

College football has a major problem in that its becoming entirely too Deep South centric. We need for someone outside of Ohio State to step up in the Midwest and we need a West Coast team to become a legitimate contender for the good of the sport.
