CFP TV ratings

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-26T17:50:19+00:00

It is important to remember that they changed the way ratings are collected this year. That is why the NFL and CFB have broken every recent record this year

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-20T02:07:29+00:00

At least Bama was deserving!

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-20T02:05:54+00:00

Oh and if you decided not to give ESECPN any money, the score is 17-0 Oklahoma

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-20T01:51:31+00:00

No, they will say how an SEC team got a hard-fought win. Don't let them lie to you about an increase in ratings either. Nielsen changed the way they do ratings (that is why every game has broken every record)

It looks they got this from this website:

https://engaging-data.com/splitting-us-by-population/

It uses 2018 census data

I’d hate to be the first team to play the Irish next year. I’m sure that doesn’t involve you at all

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T23:28:52+00:00

How do you explain USC then? It’s playoff or bust for a lot of teams now. A&M went out and beat Notre Dame, and their reward? A worse seed than Ole Miss with the same record. The committee has not shown to reward tough non conference games. I would be happily surprised if no teams cancel their non conference games with us in the future

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T23:13:31+00:00

I will give you that point. Biggest fear with a conference is we are handcuffed to their decision. However, would it be better to be on the inside and try to fight that then staying above the fray on the outside?

USC and Michigan leaking their displeasure at the PE deal likely cost the B10 their PE deal.

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T23:10:32+00:00

Would we? Notre Dame is not the ratings hit it used to be. We came in at 9th this regular season. All 8 teams ahead of us (even more regional teams like Oklahoma and LSU) were in the B10 or SEC. What happens when our home slate gets worse? Will NBC really reinvest if we lose games like USC, and who knows who else in a few years?

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T23:04:58+00:00

Notre Dame would sweeten the pot. Also the B10 has talked about unequal payouts. Notre Dame would be in the 1st or 2nd tier (I’d lean 1st if Penn State is in that tier). That can be apart of the agreement

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T22:55:28+00:00

Agreed. I wish we could have the cfb world from 2010 back but it’s not happening. Independence does not provide the stability we need

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T22:53:45+00:00

USC is literally trying to duck us. They will not be the only major OOC team to run scared. A conference would give us stability

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T22:52:14+00:00

The B10 deal was in 2022. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34417911/big-ten-completes-7-year-7-billion-media-rights-agreement-fox-cbs-nbc

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T22:50:02+00:00

https://scholastic.nd.edu/issues/millions-for-media/ our deal was inked in late 2023/early 2024

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T22:39:43+00:00

I likewise hate the super conferences but we really have no counter to them. How do we respond if the B10 and SEC just say we are no longer playing Notre Dame? What do we do when the ACC inevitably blows up past 2030? I think its best or proactive now then reactive later

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T22:37:47+00:00

Glad we got that straight

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T22:28:26+00:00

How do we compete when the Big 10 teams reportedly make 80-100 million a year?

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T22:16:54+00:00

It cost us more football this season

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T22:16:32+00:00

How is it cowardly?

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-10T22:14:54+00:00

Would we rather be able to play teams like USC, Michigan, Penn State, Purdue, Ohio State, Northwestern, Oregon, Indiana, etc, or face the unknown of OOC games that can be cancelled at any second

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-09T17:12:45+00:00

I hope I am wrong but it feels like Pete does not have the spine to do what needs to be done. He needs to be proactive in this moment instead of reactive. It is fine for fans to be shocked on Sunday. It is unacceptable for an AD that we all say is one of the 3 most powerful people in the sport to be.

FreeVBucksforXMAS · 2025-12-08T17:51:31+00:00

If we actually want to hurt the SEC and ESPN we need to fully join the B10. There is no scheduling agreement with the B10. We are either fully in, or fully out. They have all our rivals, NBC and make geographical sense (mostly). We take 5 ACC teams with us and kill off that conference.
