Seems like we truly are carrying this conference in football.
Have to get all the way down to #27 before we get to the two games without at least one of FSU, Clemson, or Miami - with VT being in both of those games.
As for your last comment that I bolded above this Orange fan thanks FSU and Clemson for carrying the load in these unsettling times due to conference realignment.
But in the 00s, my gut says Clemson was less dominant in terms of ACC CFB TV ratings than VT, with FSU and VT being the top two during that time frame. So who knows what the next decade will bring?
Interesting side note - I am only two years through the SEC conference games, but they already have 34 conference games so far with 3 million or more viewers and all but 4 of those 34 involved Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.
The Tennessee vs Texas A&M game is #12 on the list at this point, but the other three match-ups not involving at least one of Alabama, Georgia and Florida were towards the bottom.
My gut is telling me that when it comes to CFB TV ratings three-to-four teams dominate each of the Greater 2, while the Lesser 3 usually have to manage with 2.
Hopefully by early May I will the data to present for all P5 conferences.
Cheers,
