They are at it again!

Rank/Team/(Teams scheduled in top 25)
3 ND (3) = Miami 4, SMU 21, & BYU 10.
4 Miami (1) = ND 3.
6 IU (2) = OSU 5, & USC 18.

Compared to SEC:
1 UTx (7) = OSU 1W, UTn 14W, FL 8, Miss 9, MSST 16, MIZ 25 & LSU 11.
11 LSU (7) = Miss 8L, TXA&M 23W, UK 24, MSST 14, AL 7, UTx 1, & UTn 17.

We all know injuries are everything at the end of a season. When playing cream puff teams you have less of a chance to be injured. (Ask John Curtis) This happens every year because it's not about finding number one it's all about eyeballs watching (TV revenue)(When 2 SEC teams play for a NC the TV ratings are at its lowest hence the rise of the MidWest) and gambling. (Billion $ industry now) You saw that TD called back on LSU last night for holding...did you trust your eyes or believed what you were being told? (I know there was more but just hear the point) Wake up and fight for the truth in sports...again!

It's not a surprise that it's easier to win a national championship playing a bunch of cupcakes vs an SEC schedule.

Only one problem for teams like Notre Dame. They actually have to win enough games in the playoffs to be called National Champions. That’s tough when your team is always overrated.

Did you know the highest revenue from a conference is the Big 10? Yep, over the most watched SEC! Let move to Big 10 and be a national contender every year!

BYU is a complete fraud.

I must have missed when we beat Ole Piss. That must have been the director's cut.

ETA: with ND playing BYU and Miami, and those teams not having another ranked team on their schedule, 2 of the 3 might get knocked out with losses, unless ND loses both of those games.

Yes, it's a top heavy conference and Ohio State and Michigan are the top earners.

Their alumni bases and university networks dwarf anyone else. It's not that complicated.

The latest FY2025 numbers are:

Rank School Total athletic revenue

1 Texas $352.5M
2 Ohio State $336.0M
3 Tennessee $304.1M
4 Michigan $275.8M
5 Penn State $254.9M
6 Alabama $267.4M
7 Texas A&M $235.5M
8 Georgia $233.5M
9 LSU $223.5M
10 Nebraska $215.1M

Most of the top of the list comes from ticket sales, sponsorships, and donations.

UT's #s are fugazi. 150-180M is straight donations to the university for big wigs to feel important.

Indiana scraped by Northwestern this past weekend. Don't crown them with anything just yet.

I don't just think, I know and they come with strings attached. So anything you see from UT take with a grain of salt. It's a very smoke and mirrors program.

What? Not me! I wouldn't have them in the top 25 until they scheduled real competition instead of teams to make them look good!

Lots of gab but no substance. What do the strings say? For instance

It's a point of when invoices come due and will they be paid.

A 12 team playoff would have been great if things were like they were 10 years ago regarding convferences.

Big XII would still have Texas and OU and be legit. Pac 12 wold be solid. And the Big 10 wouldn't have all these teams with absolutely putrid, watered down schedules.
