After beating out Gameday in ratings the final Saturday of 2019, Big Noon Saturday is taking its momentum to expand the show as we enter a new world where Gameday has been dethroned.

Your propaganda aside, obviously Game Day was still the King of shows last year, easily beating BNS in the overall season ratings.

FWIW, IMO Big Noon Saturday has one Big Flaw - too many talking heads around the table. They need to pare their crew back to 3 or 4 guys. It's just too crowded up there so too many analysts say superfluous things just to make it seem like they are earning their keep.

I'd keep Stone, Meyer, and Bush and jettison Quinn and Leinart.

Also, this year will be really tough for FOX, because BNS was built around the B1G, and they aren't playing. Yes, they can focus on the Big 12, but the Big 12 is basically Texas and Oklahoma, not nearly as much high-value content as ESPN has with the SEC and Clemson.

Be cool to see how the ratings go this fall..

I suspect the people who prefer BNS are those in Pac-12 country who think there's too much of a regional bias to Game Day.

BNS and the stodgy panel in suits and ties in a studio just won't replace College Game Day and it's fun and jocular goofiness.

Hate the Mouse and all that ESPN provides

I'd keep one of Quinn/Leinart. I think both of them are redundant.

I have to as a Big Ten fan root for low ratings. I want to FOX to remember the Big Ten is their cash cow and pay us appropriately. If FOX finds out people will watch the Big 12 as much as the Big Ten, there goes Illinois's/Penn State's big payouts. Come on, you really want to watch Louisiana Tech/Baylor? Then again, this board had an entire thread about Central Arkansas/Austin Peay.

I'd rather watch oklahoma st vs Iowa St on FOX before IL and Purdue or Iowa or Wisconsin.

BIG is QB challenged outside of tosu of course.
