    Saying the ACC is a Power 5 conference is like saying the CFL is a Power 2 professional league.

    Take the champs of the Pac 12, B1G, SEC!!!, and Big 12, and 4 at large teams.

    uh, the ACC Coastal winner just took SEC West #2 out to the woodshed.


    What am I missing here?

    ESPN would take #MyDucks over those SEC teams any day of the week, including Gameday.

    South Carolina and Miami tied a bowl game. When did this happen?

    You don't think ESPN is happier than you with a playoff? 15 rating for both games. Ohio and the West Coast for the final. Collin made a good point - no network wants the south as its base of viewership. Ohio State Michigan was one of the highest rated games of the year.

    ESPN wants eyeballs. The whole ESPN SEC thing is fucking stupid.

    Larry Scott chose a third rate partner and isn't on major providers. That isn't the SEC's fault.

    I'm not sure about that. For every other sport, that is true, but the South rules college football. That is where most the fans are, hence where the money is. The East Coast doesn't give a shit about college sports, especially football. The same is mostly true for the West Coast.

    The pro sports teams are East Coast and LA centric and that's where the focus is. College Football is different.
    I think Ohio State Michigan had higher ratings than the Iron Bowl. SEC football is a good brand but more so due to CBS than ESPN

    Football is more popular down south but you need the coasts for ratings

    Football was invented in 1980? I thought it was 1994?

    And Georgia, Bama, and Florida are in the SEC

    Shocking how the SEC didn't win shit until the magical BCS game showed up...

    I like to say the SEC didn't win shit when the SEC won three national titles between 1980 and 1997, more than the ACC (2.5), the Pac-10 (0.5), and the Big Ten (0.5), and just behind the Big 8/12 (3.5).

    The BCS did manage to kill off the independents and the Big East though.

    The SEC was the second best of today's Power 5 conferences for 18 years before the BCS, but the SEC sucked before the BCS.

    Pick your date...doesn't impact the statistics. They won at least a share 5 out of 26 years leading up to the BCS "championship" games, and then magically win 7 out of 8 when it shows up. Magic.

    Oh yeah...and they are 0-1 since.

    It looks to me like the BCS somehow made Miami and Nebraska implode, even though they played in a BCS title game (Hi Mike!).
