Any school that freaking Texas A&M can scoreboard in the "last natty" conversation is excluded from any discussions about being blue blood.
 
Here are the cumulative numbers. SEC killing it, even compared to the B1G.

Normally it doesn't matter, but you may recall that Bama v. Vandy got 3.3 million, but that isn't included because it was on the SECN. I am sure the B1G has a similar issue.

B1G fans, do you have backloaded games? I know we have tOSU v. PSU, and tOSU v. UM that will be big draws. But, SEC has LSU v. ATM, LSU v. Bama, UF v. UGA, UTjr v. UGA, UA v. AU, TEX v. ATM, LSU v. UF, UF v. FSU, so they will also have some large numbers in the back half of the season.

I am just really surprised at how much better the SEC viewership numbers are.

Michigan being ass has definitely hurt from a ratings perspective. The Illinois game drew 3 million this year, in 2022 the same game drew 5.5 million. UCLA isn't a ratings draw at all, USC and Washington are down. So you added those 3 teams, and because of it, we won't get games like Michigan vs. PSU, MSU vs. PSU etc... MSU is also a sneaky good ratings draw when they're good.

The one thing going for the SEC is that having Noon, 3:30 and 7:30 games on ABC is really helping with their overall ratings. Which is the case most weeks.

The ACC and the rest of the Big 12 should go out and hire coaches with bling. That'd get the ratings up.
Or one could deduce such from this data.
