FSU being trash killed the ratings the primetime games were garbage Clemson is ratings poison. ABC/ESPN losing that big ten stimulus hurt them this season but FSU being garbage ratings disaster same with the sec on CBS Kentucky South Carolina Vandy and Tennessee aren't moving the needle in 2017.
ill give FSU one thing, they got national name brand. I dont think them being awful was more impactful than Miami being the ratings draw they were. Clemson didnt play in any really relevant game after playing us tho, and I guess the ACC would've liked for their FSU matchup to mean something.
Whole SEC was unlucky too. Georgia and ND were both memes at the time they played or that would've been a splash (and then UGA didnt play anyone until game 11). Tennessee and UF were embarrassments to football. LSU doesnt matter. Basically all the traditional rivalries were busts and the OOC matchups were snoozers. There were 3 teams worth watching from the most football-crazed conference and one of those 3 had any meetings of interest between week 3 and week ~10 (not to say we had the most exciting schedule ever during that time but we had the under dog angle working in a lil bit).
SEC probably told all these teams making splash hires to get their shyt in order or they were gonna get flipped, especially your Arkansas and A&M. There should at least be 5 or 6 semi-desirable watches in conference this year
this is Vince/HHH Roman Reigns level incompetence
