So the top rated Big X team, Oklahoma, is #26. 14 SEC teams got better TV ratings - only Kentucky and Vandy did not.

I guess when y'all have been wrong on every prediction, the only thing left is tv ratings in the South. It's the last bullet in your chamber

TV ratings in the South? There are 12 SEC teams in the top 20 in terms of viewership. Of the remaining 8 teams, 6 of them are Northern teams.

Seems people just lime to watch good football wherever it's played. Usually, it's in the Southeast. When it isn't, people still watch.

Hell, most of the Big 12 is located in the south, and sure as hell ain't nobody watching that shit.

If you combined the average audiences of the Big 12 One True (co) Champions, they would have come in fifth in the SEC.

Those numbers add another embarrassment to the long line of embarrassments for the conference. Fans,are tired of the league not being worthy of title contention year after year after year after year...

That's the goal in college football for most of the teams?

Do you actually have any idea who was the last team to win it's first national championship in football?

These numbers are incredible.

Crazy that the Big 12 teams get such a large payout with such low ratings.

Sagarin's top 6:

1 Alabama (SEC-W)
2 Auburn (SEC-W)
3 Mississippi (SEC-W)
4 Baylor (Big 12)
5 TCU (Big 12)
6 Oklahoma (Big 12)

Seems there are only two conferences to worry about.

In terms of the playoffs, who ya got?

Here's how I look at it:

These teams control their own destiny.

ACC: Florida State

SEC: Mississippi State, Alabama

PAC: Oregon, Arizona State


The rest need help.

Looking at the teams listed above...

Florida State: possibly gets in with a loss, but probably not...most likely losses are Miami and the ACC championship game against Duke/Georgia Tech

Mississippi State: probably gets in with a loss...most likely losses are Alabama, Mississippi, SEC championship game against Mizzou/Georgia

Alabama: has to win out...most likely losses are Mississippi State, Auburn, SECCG against Mizzou/Georgia

Oregon: has to win out...most likely loss is the PACCCG against Arizona/Arizona State

Arizona State: has to win out...most likely losses are to Arizona or PACCCG against Oregon

Next in line:
Baylor
TCU
Ohio State
Nebraska

These teams are still candidates to make the playoffs if the following doesn't happen:

FSU wins out
Arizona State or Oregon wins out
Alabama wins out
Mississippi State loses only to Alabama

If the above scenario happens, it's
1. Florida State
2. Alabama
3. Oregon/ASU
4. Mississippi State

Short of that, I think Ohio State is first in. They would be 12-1, conference champions, and have solid out of conference games against Navy, Cincy, and Virginia Tech.

Next would be Baylor. They would be 11-1 and conference champions. Their out of conference schedule is horrific, but they hold the head to head over TCU.

Here is where it gets weird...

TCU gets in ahead of Nebraska if Baylor loses, but Nebraska gets in ahead of TCU if Baylor wins out. If Baylor loses, TCU is 11-1, conference champions, and has a solid out of conference game against Minnesota. If Baylor wins out, Nebraska is ahead of TCU, as they would be 12-1, conference champions, and have a solid out of conference game against Miami. Nebraska needs to win out and have all hell break loose in order to get in.

Bold prediction pulled out of my ass:

1. Florida State
2. Oregon
3. Ohio State
4. Baylor

On the one hand, I don't see Alabama winning out. On the other hand, if their loss is to MSU, I don't see MSU losing two more games...but I think Alabama wins Saturday, and I think Ole Miss wins the Egg Bowl in Oxford...and if Alabama does win Saturday, I think they are likely to win out.

Whoever wins the Alabama/MSU game will be in my prediction for the playoffs next week.

We can trust Vegas and Sagarin. Or we can trust Mizzou fans. (Busts out laughing)
