Evidently bitch about it on a forum for a conference which you have no prior, present or future association with.

7 of the top 12 are SEC.

Not surprised by anything on the chart, honestly.

What % of viewership comes from the total SEC and B1G combined?


For the new, expanded 16-team SEC, we make up 38.0% of all CFB regular season viewership.***

For the new, expanded 18-team BIG10, they make up 32.2% of all regular season viewership.

So 70.2% combined.

***keep in mind that the SEC Network is not a metered network, so no viewership numbers on any of these lists includes SEC Network games.

The brands that bring in the most viewership outside the two big conferences are the following:

4. Notre Dame
12. Clemson
15. Florida State
24. Oklahoma State
26. Miami
28. Colorado
29. TCU
31. Navy
33. Army
34. Louisville
41. W Virginia
42. Virginia Tech
43. Iowa State
44. N Carolina
45. Stanford

UNC just isn’t a football brand as much as many folks want to pretend. Army and Navy are helped out by one game played every year between them that brings in massive numbers.

Keep any eye on OK State. They actually look like a much better expansion candidate compared to a Virginia Tech, Virginia, or even UNC.

Missouri has really good per game average numbers for games on bigger networks. We had way too many games on SECN which brought the season long numbers down drastically relative to other schools.

There is a large amount of people who don't really care for college football, they only watch the NFL.

It woulda sucked in high school if we weren’t allowed to play for the state championship cause not enough people listened to our games on the radio.

Quite frankly, this is the one thing I dread about Texas joining the SEC. The board being littered with this type of humor regarding other SEC states.

For some reason Longhorn fans giggle like school girls at this stuff. But when somebody drops a fifty year old pizza delivery joke off in their sig line... it is easy to understand.

Most SEC fans won't admit it but Missouri is in the SEC because of TV Markets and opening up the mid west to the SEC brand...

Is a Texas fan really throwing shade at another state's power grid?

A&M doesn’t have a huge t-shirt fan following…. Relative to the schools on that list for sure.

Props to the true fans at Kentucky and State for still repping their team during a not-great season.

It isn't a surprise. It's the reason why the SEC and B1G will break away from the NCAA and form their own semi-pro league
