The OFFICIAL 2015 College Football RANDOM thoughts thread

[Silkk]

I swear it feel like opening day of 2014 was just a short time ago. Still remember busting out of work early, picking up my cheesesteaks and watching that 5:30 kickoff

This year we gotta triple play

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

Its gonna happen

18.6 - 34.15M - 8:30 PM Ohio State/Oregon
National Championship Game ESPN ‘Megacast’

that absolutely demolishes every event espn has ever telecasted.

Most watched games ever. How many of them are SEC?

1. 35.6 million - ABC, BCS title game/Rose Bowl, Rose Bowl, Jan. 4, 2006, Texas vs USC.
2. 30.8 million - ABC, BCS title game, Jan. 7, 2010, Alabama vs. Texas
3. 30.4 million - ABC, Rose Bowl, Jan. 1, 1996, USC vs. Northwestern.
4. 30.1 million - ABC, Sugar Bowl, Jan. 1, 1993, Alabama vs. Miami.
5. 30.0 million - NBC, Orange Bowl, Jan. 1, 1995, Nebraska vs. Miami.
6. 29.6 million - NBC, Orange Bowl, Jan. 1, 1991, Colorado vs. Notre Dame.
7. 29.1 million - ABC, BCS title game/Fiesta Bowl, Jan. 3, 2003, Ohio State vs. Miami.
8. 29.0 million - ABC, Rose Bowl, Jan. 1, 1998, Michigan vs. Washington State.
9. 28.81 million, NBC, Orange Bowl, Jan. 1, 1994, Florida State vs. Nebraska.
10. 28.80 million - FOX, BCS title game, Jan. 8, 2007, Ohio State vs. Florida.
11. 28.4 million, ABC, Rose Bowl, Jan. 2, 1995, Penn State vs. Oregon.
12. 28.3 million - ESPN, national semifinal/Sugar Bowl, Jan. 1, 2015, Ohio State vs. Alabama.
13. 28.1 million - ESPN, national semifinal/Rose Bowl, Jan. 1, 2015, Oregon vs. Florida State.

all that sec stuff but when it comes down to it the biggest draws are:

Michigan, texas, osu, alabama, florida state, notre dame, florida, penn state, USC, are the common denominators across every single one of those games with the miami/nebraska exception. Those are the big dogs. And ABC / espn broadcasts every single one of those teams but ND. And even they get the games vs. Miami and a couple others.

They can wax poetic all they want when it comes to the SEC because of the network but straight up, when it comes to the playoffs they absolutely want those teams i highlighted in them. they can get 4s and whatnot during the year but they cash in with those teams pullingin 28/30 million viewers.

I'mma let y'all talk on the OU/Tennessee game. It has been confirmed and released that Baker Mayfield will start the opener against the Akron Zips.

I can't wait for next season though... I will be in attendance when the Buckeyes come to Norman. Bet!

Of course they want those teams, the traditional powers will always bring the ratings in College Football. Just like Cowboys, Steelers, 49ers, Raiders, Pats, and Giants in the NFL and Lakers, Bulls, Knicks, Spurs, and Celtics.

I must've missed where someone said every SEC team is a draw

 

[Tide Run This]

SEC is washed yall hype each other up but yall can't beat anyone major outside your conference. 3 wins in bcs/nysix bowls since start of 2010 sec roy jones post glenkoff johnson ko

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

38 million on that oregon/osu game is crazy and that shyt was osu carried, because the auburn/oregon game did NOT draw like that


imagine osu vs. Notre dame
michigan vs. texas
florida state vs. USC

 

[malbaker86]

don't sleep on michigan vs. florida in texas 2017

might be the demise of the south right there

You going bruh? Me and the wife going to that and i'm debating on going to that Ole Miss-FSU game next year too in Orlando
