How in the world is Auburn pulling more viewers when it has to share a state with UA, while UGA has less and they're basically unopposed in their state?

I do my part. I enjoy hate-watching Auburn almost as I like watching Bama

Not sure why you stopped at 15 but the entire SEC with the exception of Vanderbilt and Kentucky is in the top 40.
I picked 40 because of the supposition of two 20 team conferences.

His data is embarrassingly flawed. Call me when you can provide figures for each game in each year.

Interesting even though that data is at least three years old and inconsistent

"data from the five-year span of 2015-19 "
we will have to just trust this fellow, Zach Miller, got his numbers right

Because it's not about "TV markets" *see Rutgers=NY market*
It's about brands and engagement.
It doesn't matter how many people live in a TV market, it's about how many people in a TV market are watching CFB.
Birmingham has been #1 for a decade.

ha. Your link is to the same guy. Before 5 minutes ago, I never even heard of Zach Miller, and he doesn't note his sources.
edit: and your signature line is still a lie.
according to ncaa.com UGA has won 2 national titles

You can argue this list is directly correlated with whose good. I’d be curious to see if Bama and UF were flipped in the mid 2000’s
