A little extra perspective, though: leaving head-to-head out, FSU's had a game against Alabama as well,...a huge draw on their own. They've also played 7 games,...1 game more than the other big draws.
UNC's had games against Notre Dame AND Clemson; nuff said.
Clemson's had us, UNC, and LSU. Notre Dame playing/losing to another Top 10 opponent while our "big draw" rivalry game was on obviously took away alot of viewership. We'll be passing UNC this week obviously and should be 3rd until the ND game catapults us ahead.
West Coast games (USC, Oregon, et. al.) can tend to have less competition due to time slottings. When you step back and analyze things a little further,....it all makes sense.
