Alabama vs Clemson did 26.1 last year.

30 Mill to watch Northwestern?

29 Mill to watch Washington State?

Do y'all think a game will make it to 35 Mill again and what teams would need to be playing for it to happen?

35 Mill is alot.

Northwestern was huge deal in 95-96 that run was bigger than Nebraska quest to repeat then you add USC who is a national school it was only game going that time as well.

Same with Washington St (Ryan Leaf) vs Michigan playing for a national title that game was a license to print money.

I expected FSU vs Notre Dame to make the list from 1993 looks like everything is just bowl games. Them playoff games did huge numbers on cable if they were over the air they would've been 1 and 2 all time the hype for the FSU/Oregon and OSU/Bama games was out of stratosphere.

Stupid is stupid don't matter what team you root for.

Plus I said a million times, imma fan of this particular Tennessee team. Could care less about previous squads or future ones if they ain't cold.

2016 Tennessee = most talented college football team since 2001 Miami.

All you idiots will see what it is this year.

Sit back and enjoy the show.

Sit the fukk down with that most talented since 01 Miami this Tennessee team isn't even top 5 of the SEC schools past 10 years as far as P4P talent level.

This Tennessee team ain't sniffing Alabama 09-13 talent either

If Tennessee has a Julio, Ingram, Trent, AJ, Howard, Cooper, Maze, Dareus, Chapman, Milliner, Collins, Yeldon, Lacy, Hightower, Kirkpatrick, Upshaw, Fluker, B. Jones, Warmack, Barron, McClain, Arenas, Kareem...and that's just a small amount that we had...if Tennessee has players better than them then you gotta show me

 

[Tide Run This]

Top 5 rivalries IMO

1.Alabama/Auburn
2.Ohio St/Michigan
3.Notre Dame/USC

The Top 5 College Football Rivalry's
1.The U vs fspoo
2.Texas vs OU
3.Ohio State vs Michigan
4.Bama vs Auburn
5.USC vs Notre Dame
Those mines what are yours

 

[Rigby.]

If Alabama-Auburn ain't in your top 2...

I'd be more than willing to drop that rivalry to move to the east tho

 

[Freddie.Cane]

The common denominator of those outlier games in the 90s especially

THE ROSE BOWL

Its the fukkin rose bowl which was a draw in and of itself on some wrestlemania shyt....and those were for a title for all intents and purposes too...

 

[Freddie.Cane]

If Alabama-Auburn ain't in your top 2...

I'd be more than willing to drop that rivalry to move to the east tho

at u thinking yall gonna run from Bama

Yeah that rivalry gotta be at worst 3rd on your list. I don't care too much about that Army/Navy shyt that's more about pageantry

Remember being a youngster them Iron Bowls always coming on Saturday nights in the mid 90s with the GOAT Ron Franklin doing the games. I remember it used to be OSU/Michigan or FSU/Florida early in the morning then you get USC/UCLA in afternoon then night time be Bama vs Auburn they had a damn good run of games in the 90s the 00s were pretty boring rivalry ain't really heat up again until 09 game.

The Iron Bowl should always be at night, I was watching the 1996 and 2014 Iron Bowls and mannnn those crowds at night
