These are the options that make the most sense to me. Maybe throw in North Carolina, but if we're talking football they don't add a whole lot.

If Georgia Tech is in the top 50, the person who came up with the forumula needs to go back to the drawing board.

Va Tech and WV need to be in the SEC for football. They fit.
I’d then take FSU and UNC.

Not a bad list, I’d probably bump up USC to around 14 and lol Tulane but other than that not too bad

Don’t these metrics skew the data to teams already in major conferences?
Teams already in a major conference are probably already valued higher. They also get higher ratings just by playing teams with larger fanbases more often.
If Louisiana Monroe somehow lined up a schedule featuring the whole SEC West, they’d probably average decent TV numbers.

FSU
North Carolina
Virginia Tech
The 4th...not really sure. Miami and Ga Tech... would the SEC want the big ten making inroads into GA and FL if the SEC leaves them out?

It's a relevant metric, Gramps

Yeah, because people get their relevant information from social media opinions.
My entire family, Alabama fans, Auburn fans, LSU fans and Florida fans never even consider information they find on social media (twitter, facebook, etc.) to have any truth.

It means nothing since teams can't be bought and sold.
