I used to think that and agree that they shouldn't be but I'm not so sure now.These decisions are not going to be influenced much at all by what is happening this season.
Those scenarios are both almost certainly already baked in to the analyses.Not at all? What if Miami becomes one of the most viewed teams in the country and or a playoff team? That would have no influence? And what if Clemson takes a nosedive?
This. It’s what have you done for me lately.I used to think that and agree that they shouldn't be but I'm not so sure now.
I think there actually could be some prisoner of the moment groupthink at play and things could be definitely fluid.
FSU has one good year last year and all of a sudden they're one of the belles of the ball?
Stanford has 3 or 4 consecutive down seasons after about a decade of a averaging double digit win seasons and being part of probably the most successful overall athletic department in the country but now have to beg their way into a dying ACC?
UVag has been mentioned repeatedly as a possible B1G addition. If they finish this year with like one win and in last place in the ACC, do we really think their stock won't be heavily damaged if addl realignment is imminent?

Much cooler fan base the UNCNC State isn't a bad school / football programme at all, but yeah it complicates things
FSU was getting eyeballs even when they were down. Why I don't know.I used to think that and agree that they shouldn't be but I'm not so sure now.

Hoping that Miami isn't hit by the injury bug and goes into FSU 9-0. Would be a HUGE prime time game and would most likely hit 6 million viewers.Where I differ slightly is with TV audiences. Because we know that our TV ratings can increase when we win games, and the only thing that Fox/CBC/NBC cares about with Big 10 targets is TV ratings.
Remaining chances to impress with good TV ratings:
9/23 - Miami at Temple - 3:30 - ESPN2 - gonna be hard to compete with Ole Miss-Bama (CBS) and Colorado-Oregon (ABC) in the same time slot.
10/7 - GaTech at Miami - TBA - TBA - I really don't think that any network or any timeslot will help us here.
10/14 - Miami at UNC - TBA - TBA - this one has some potential, OUTSIDE SHOT at getting College GameDay, other big games are USC-ND (huge game), Oregon-Washington and UCLA-Oregon St.
10/21 - Clemson at Miami - TBA - TBA - same as above, OUTSIDE SHOT at getting College GameDay, other big games are Ped State-Taint (huge game), Tennessee-Bama (huge game), and Washington St-Oregon (unless you want to count Duke-F$U).
10/28 - UVa at Miami - TBA - TBA - very unappealing game.
11/4 - Miami at NC State - TBA - TBA - not a great game, but not a lot of other good ones scheduled for this day, could be better if NC State wins games between now and then.
11/11 - Miami at F$U - TBA - TBA - if Miami continues to win, there is a very good shot at getting College GameDay, other big games are Ole Miss-UGa, USC-Oregon, Utah-Washington, Duke-UNC, and Michigan-Ped State.
11/18 - Louisville at Miami - TBA - TBA - not a very compelling game.
11/24 - Miami at BC - Noon - ABC - not a very compelling game, but it's on Black Friday and there is less competiton.
I think we have five good shots to pile up the ratings in our next 9 games.
Big 10 media partners ... ie FOX. Lot of discussion in the conference realignment discussions on Twitter with @Genetics and Bob Johnson (founder of BTN .... the Big Ten Network) regarding the NEW criteria for adding conference members ... with THE prime consideration being viewership and that being the main reason that FSU / Clemson had been targeted as the initial additions for "the southern tier of the B10".Source (anonymous social media personalities not included)?
Just curious since I haven't seen such a quote attributed to the Big Ten commissioner's office or even any of the other 13 schools

FSU did very well under Jimbo and won a title in 13' (or whatever year that was). Seeing them struggle after that run will still get viewerships. Miami has been irrelevant for too long but that is about to change.FSU was getting eyeballs even when they were down. Why I don't know.
Yeah. I mean. Except they weren't. They were 5-7 in 2021 and were consistently not getting eyeballs.FSU was getting eyeballs even when they were down. Why I don't know.
In the long term I don’t think Clemson is a huge draw. Sure they are doing well under Dabo, but if he leaves or continues to lose his fastball I don’t think they will generate huge viewership.Big 10 media partners ... ie FOX.

I believe they were still second in the ACC even though there were more successful teams.Yeah. I mean. Except they weren't. They were 5-7 in 2021 and were consistently not getting eyeballs.
They were successful with Danny Ford. They have the money to go get a good coach. I think they will still draw pretty well.In the long term I don’t think Clemson is a huge draw. Sure they are doing well under Dabo, but if he leaves or continues to lose his fastball I don’t think they will generate huge viewership.
Here's a really interesting bit of data related to that- I looked at the least viewed BCS bowls in the BCS era and there are some CLEAR common denominators that is relevant to realignment:In the long term I don’t think Clemson is a huge draw. Sure they are doing well under Dabo, but if he leaves or continues to lose his fastball I don’t think they will generate huge viewership.
Much cooler fan base the UNC
miami already is in the top 4 of available teams on average viewership on network tv (nevermind bally ****)Not at all? What if Miami becomes one of the most viewed teams in the country and or a playoff team? That would have no influence? And what if Clemson takes a nosedive?
