I see no reason Georgia should be ranked 5th

those are pretty lousy ratings for michigan and notre dame.

michigan has the excuse of being on the btn and going up against the most dramatic game 7 in baseball history.  what's notre dame's excuse?

[Deleterious]

ND probably took a hit being on ESPN. Disney channels were removed from YouTube TV last week

maybe, but miami-smu almost had as many viewers.  

i dont think notre dame is the draw it used to be.  especially compared to ohio state or the sec.

I think besides the YouTube issue, it was also who ND played and the expected quality of the game. 

 

As you say, when ND played Miami and A&M they both were top 20 watched games of the first half.

with as many appearances on that list as noted brand name ole miss.

middling ohio state games are top 25 games.  notre dame has to be playing a big game to get on that list.  

no different than any other school now.  they used to be the most watched team every year.

The article says his wife has already moved back to Arizona.

Upset alert. Indiana down 4 to PSU with a minute left, Indiana driving.

I don't know.  Its a completely different world know.

That catch brings me back to when college football was actually college football.

This is for the entire game yesterday.  Sean West is their punter.

something tells me this is going to get ugly.

I've watched this dynamic before, where the weaker/poorer members of an organization try to dictate to the stronger/richer because they think they have voting numbers. It almost always turns out poorly.

Think UM or USC would be welcome in the ACC or SEC? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
