Both UCLA and USC in their first year in the B1G will draw larger ratings than Arkansas. I GUARANTEE as the Colonel use to say.

Those hippy fig schools are lucky to get 20K people to their games. ACTUAL ATTENDANCE. Their TV numbers also suck compared to 2/3 of the SEC schools. You yanks keep thinking you nabbed those two has-beens disguised as a goose with the golden egg. All y'all did was bail out one program in dire shape financially (UCLA) and one that's in fair to midland shape (USC).

Y'all should really take Mizzou off our hands. They are a ratings bonanza.

As I said, let us compare ratings after they join the B1G.

This. Hell, half of their seasons since Tebow left, they would've been in the Big-10 championship game.

Ban me?? For what???

I said the Swamp was as relevant as the White Out for the last 15 years...I will give you the fact that Urban and Tebow were a great combination for UF...they went 48-7 in that time frame with 2 Natty's while Penn State was 40-12 during that same period with 0 Natty's.

Since then The Chomp Swamp is 95-57 while the White Out is 98-53...which makes my point...the Gators are as irrelevant as my Nits when it comes to the Top 5 National Programs right now.

hate to break it to you Finebaum..but FACTS are that if you pull up TV ratings for Ohio State games and Birmingham, Atlanta, Orlando..the SEC..watches our games regardless of what thou doth protest in this forum.

TV ratings also say, nobody watches shitty Arkansas, Mizzourri, MSU, Ky, Vandy ,etc etc.

I have heard that Michigan was the better educational school than OSU and your posting demonstrates that to be true.

You mean all the people that do not care about NCs and great football. The best recruits in the country continue to flock to the SEC for what really matters. Winning NCs not floundering around a crap product on TV.

I understand you are trying to find validation for a bad product. And no I believe OSU is a great program but the B1g as a whole is far from a great conference.

OSU is no different than Clemson in the ACC. Only one decent program and the rest are garbage.

So...because the SEC has 2 great programs in Georgia and Bama...but the Big 10 only has 1 in OSU and the ACC has 1 in Clemson...the SEC is that much better???

Just asking for a friend....

In the last 20 years, the SEC has more NCs than all the other conferences combined.

Just fact.

Do you understand in the grand scheme of things this is irrelevant. The only thing that matters for any program is to win a NC. Something outside of OSU the BG1 can not and proven by the words of Warren.

Warren is so concerned the BG1 can not compete and with his new TV deals wants to prove the BG1 has good football is advocating for 16 team playoff. Why because he knows even in a 8 or 12 the BG1 may get lucky every now and then to get 2 teams in.

See all this big TV contracts for the networks now partnering with the BG1 may not last if none of their teams once playoff expansion comes never make the semis or finals. The only way the BG1 can guarantee 2 teams in the playoffs every year is with a 16 team playoff.

Again the only thing that matters in the end is winning a NC. Until the BG1 can do that on a regular basis or be a contender on a regular basis, without the conference scheming to put OSU in there like they have done lately, watching BG1 football for rating will be no different than when I was growing up kids watching cartoons every morning on Saturday. Of course the ratings will be high only because there is nothing else to watch on those channels.

come on dude, even if you have "ratings numbers" that show it, they are fake.

But I will give you a chance, show me the source and the numbers.

The SEC in the last 3 years have had 3 different teams win the NC

The Big Ten has won 3 NC since 1970 (yes I know NU and PSU both won NCs but they were not part of the Big Ten, and since they joined they have not come close to winning one)

You all are so sweet. You guys keep bringing up all of your titles in every other post and good for you but the people who matter will always view the B1G as 1 and the SEC as 2. The B1G is an A+ while the SEC is a B. And no matter how you respond the networks paying the B1G more proves that is right.


This is a weird flex.

UF...they went 48-7 in that time frame with 2 Natty's while Penn State was 40-12 during that same period with 0 Natty's.


Yeah and in no way does that have anything to do with what the topic of conversation was. No one was talking about Florida being good right now.

The point is there is 1 team in the Big 10 for the last 30 years who actually is relevant on a national scale, Ohio State. There are 5 different SEC teams who have won a championship in the last 15 years - acting as if the Big 10 is even remotely similar to the SEC is a joke.

Something here is clearly different. Oh the 2 national titles to 0. Thanks for playing. If you haven’t noticed it’s exceedingly rare consistently winning national titles. But 10 years before that Florida was winning a national title and guess who wasn’t? Penn state. Not anyone else in that conference. Don’t know how this isn’t spelling out to you how irrelevant every team in The Big10 is outside of Ohio State.

Almost no programs on a historical timeline maintain championship level consistency. If you seriously think these programs are comparable than you clearly lack the cognitive awareness to process reality or… you are here for something else. And given that your a penn state fan it may be to find kids - idk what you sick fricks are here for

This is your 2nd comment about kids...no self-respecting adult would bring that up in a topic...you need some help.

I gave you the facts...you can't run from the truth and obviously you can't handle the truth...Penn State and Florida are equal and irrelevant...

And please give me the facts on how comparable the Big10 and SEC are? Since you know, that’s what the original post on here is about before you deflected about our two programs irrelevancy? How are the SEC and Big10 rivals when one conference consistently wins championships and the other conference is known more for fricked up things their legendary coach covered up.

I’ll be waiting for a response. How is the Big10 remotely comparable to the SEC?

LSU, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Auburn all have titles in the last 15 years

Ohio state has 1

Let’s stick to the point initially addressed - how are you comparing your conference to the SEC when literally it’s Ohio State and a bunch of programs who haven’t competed for national titles in 30+ years?
