This is why ESPN is going to war against IU and SMU making it in and not the 12 best teams

I would take it one more step, people don't tend to even tune in for anticipated blowouts.....
The best matchup (SOS & eye test), even though it ended up going sideways, was the highest rated.

The games weren't good, but the NFL playing 2 games Saturday was a major contributor. The League needs to take a step back and quit competing so much against their minor league system. Also, Goodell and owners, stop playing in the middle of the week on 3 days rest. Your players deserve to take Christmas off.

Ole Miss's problem is Kiffin.

The team reflects his undisciplined attitude and his analytics crap costs it way too many points.

It wasn’t even just blowouts just quality of teams playing as well.

SMU’s QB had 2 pick six’s by the 2nd quarter. Indiana had 100 yards of offense with 3 minutes left in the 4th. Just shite football.

I can stomach a blowout when a juggernaut just rolls in and is on that day. That happens. It’s something else entirely watching just shite football. It was like watching MAC football all weekend.

They used to say if you have a flat tire in Denver, nobody will help you.

But if you have a blowout, 70,000 people show up.

The ratings for these games last year was zero viewers. So I think we are making progress
