Wish we had access to CBS numbers for the whole year. Would be nice to compare last year (SEC) to this season (B1G) and see how much the numbers have declined.

Yeah, why has CBS been holding the numbers out lately?
No doubt they've declined dramatically, but it is was it is. Take their lumps and move on.
The fact is the Big 10 needs to get a lot better beyond the Top 4 or so for the combined broadcast tv (FOX, NBC, CBS) numbers to compete with ABC getting 3 SEC time slots every Saturday.
The SEC has 9 teams with 8 or more wins with just 16 teams.
The Big 10 has just 6 teams with 8 or more wins with 18 teams.

All I can say is that their ABC strategy worked fantastically. We knew well ahead of roughly when the games were going to be. And the noon - 3:30 - 7:30 slots were fantastic. Having the prime game at night instead of 3:30 was great. And that noon slot Fox loves so much is amazing to me. SEC schools would riot if the best games started at noon, 11am central.

LOL
Something a halfway decent lawyer wouldn't miss.
You can't get past the last two ratings (WEEK 14 and 13) to see that CBS is missing in both of them.
They are also missing from Week 10 and at least another week.
B1G and ACC CCGs going head to head Saturday night every year is stupid... solution:
Either the B1G or Big XII holds their CCG Friday night and the ACC CCG moves to 12 noon Eastern on Saturday. Saturday night will be either the B1G or Big XII CCG.

That’s not how you do this. You find some stupid small error on the sheet and claim it’s completely wrong and get him to spend hours redoing the sheet to and posting data in an effort to prove you wrong.

No, not all of them. USC/ND, PSU/Minnesota, and Oregon/Michigan off the top of my head don't have numbers, and from earlier in the year, USC/Wisconsin. Add that all up and it's probably another 16-18 million viewers.

Apparently they are in a dispute with Nielsen. I'm not sure why some were released and others not though. Maybe we'll get them at some point. I'm curious to see what the ND/SC game did. My guess is that it topped 5 million.
Yeah, the B1G having a lot of their big brand teams having down years didn't help. With USC, Michigan and Nebraska.
Oregon has to travel to PSU next year, so that'll be a Big Noon game I'm sure. Fox gets the first 3 selections, and my guesses are they go with OSU vs. Michigan, Oregon vs. PSU and then Texas at Ohio State week 1.

CBS will never have the numbers that they had with the SEC over the past decade. They had the sweetest of deals by taking the biggest SEC game every week for pennies on the dollar.
I was watching the SC vs ND game a couple weeks ago.. those announcers.. lol you could tell they were missing the SEC games everytime they brought it up

I heard yesterday that the ND playoff game will be the first time since 1999 that a Notre Dame game wasn't on NBC.

That Oregon's not there tells us the Big 10 needs to get a lot better below the #'s 3 or 4 spots in the standings. The SEC is just more competitive top to bottom which makes for more
Also surprised the Fighting Deion's aren't up there.

If you exclude all BTN numbers, I bet Oregon is probably in the top 10. That's why somebody like Kentucky being top 10 is laughable. They had 7 games on SECN and most of them probably did in the 300K-500k range (maybe the UL games does a little higher), but that would basically cut this number in half.
I am surprised Colorado isn't here either. My guess is they were just under 4 million total. Probably top 15.

That Indiana with a first year head coach was Top 4 in conference and able to run the table against anyone not named Oregon, Ohio St, Penn St is pathetic.
The SEC has the overall upper hand having games on ESPN to supplement the 3 ABC time slots/week. The Big 10 is heavily weighted to broadcast tv (FOX, NBC, CBS) so if they're gonna compete with the SEC for tv revenue they need to get a lot better.
The Big 10 only had one team with 9 wins (Illinois) where the SEC had 4 teams with 9 wins (Alabama, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Missouri).
That's with the Big 10 having two more conference teams than the SEC.
I get that Alabama having their Mercer, South Carolina having their Wofford, Ole Miss having their Furman, and Missouri having their Murray St. played rolls in the 9 wins, but those aren't big tv revenue games.
In competitive appearance the SEC puts out a more sought after national product.
Be that Pre-season polling or the aid of ESPN having the microphones at the podium benefits that.
Point being, unless the Big 10 gets more ranked-vs-ranked games to put on those 3 broadcast networks they're gonna lag the SEC and it showed.
