re: Rank your school's rivals
Posted by RocketBallz2 on 4/24/24 at 10:57 am
For Mizzou I'd move Arky up to #2 and Illinois to #3.
As for NU and OU, it's been more of a hammer/nail rivalry historically, but going forward it could be more interesting with that sweet sweet SEC revenue. Mizzou should already be on even ground with NU. Will need to keep building to ever get...

Agreed, pretty embarrassing for Mizzou to be so close to a non power conference team in all time record. ...

Lets assume the favorite wins the games this year. It becomes:
Mizzou 12 Arkansas 4 >> .750
OU 66 Mizzou 23 >> .742
Much better.
The lesser team could always pull the upset, so good luck to all....
Mizzou, Arkansas and OU
Posted by RocketBallz2 on 4/18/24 at 8:00 pm
All time head to head:
Mizzou 11 Arkansas 4 >> .733
OU 66 Mizzou 22 (5 ties) >> .750 excluding ties
Sad to see OU is just ever so slightly more dominant over Mizzou than Mizzou is over Arkansas. This .017 shortfall gets fixed in 2024.

Money. Why give the other conference teams more than they deserve? An SEC B1G only championship would get great TV ratings.

We could.

Although cable is clearly declining, the sec network still makes a nice chunk of change. And it can't charge more for a new team in a state already covered.
Also, streaming is moving back to cable bundle model. So we'll see what happens there.
Saying geography doesn't matter is false. It ma...

Yep, that opens another can of worms though each being in a state already covered. That's why I wanted to ignore those 2. I think Fla St would be a money making add, not sure about Clemson.
And don't be naive. This is all about making more money for the existing sec teams....

Assume the SEC wants UNC. Would it rather have UVA or VaTech as the tag along? Lets ignore Clemson and Fla St for now.
UVA is the flagship and has better academics. But VaTech has had better football, draws better attendance for its away conference games and gets better Tv ratings.
So I'm g...

Posted by RocketBallz2 on 1/1/24 at 9:57 am
I love the SEC's geographic fit but honestly it's not nearly as important as whether the candidate school raises the media payout for the other teams. There's really just 2 hurdles to clear to get into the P2:
1. Raise the per/team payouts.
2. Don't embarrass the other member institutions with ...
