big 3

 

[cayin]

That is great especially when you consider we only have 10 schools.

 

[Trice]

That is bleak, bleak stuff for the Pac and ACC. The Pac was the only game going on Friday night, with huge implications.

Oklahoma and Texas who?

I heard the Big 12 was dead without them

 

[isutrevman]

The last two years have been huge for the Big 12 after Texas and OU announced they were leaving.

-Two championship games with 4 different teams. None of which were OU or Texas
-Two different champions, neither OU or Texas
-TCU making the CFP.
-Baylor and Kansas winning CBB national championships in back-to-back years.

 

[cyclonedave25]

But Finebaum told me nobody cares or would watch that game?!?!

Sent him to him on Twitter. Let’s see what he says, lol

Let me play devil's advocate here a minute.

You could also interpret this as telling you that the channel, timeslot, and alternate game competition at same time are way more important than the teams/conference.

If you switched the Big12 and PAC games channel and time, do you think the Big12 still draws more on friday night than the PAC on saturday noon? No way.

If you switched the Big12 and the ACC, so the Big12 is competing with B1G, doesn't ACC suddenly do a hell of a lot better and the Big12 much worse?

Now, you can also argue the networks chose the timeslots because they wanted to maximize overall viewership in all slots, and they believe the Big12 is the best option for it's own animal. That gets into some pretty hairy calculus though, and who knows what those fools look at as wisdom....

Anyway, I wouldn't necessarily take this as proof of "mission accomplished".

You make a compelling argument here, but for now put that in your back pocket and save it until we're on the losing side of this equation. For now we're winning and our job is to gloat and revel in it.

I'd bet the house that a Big12 Friday night Championship game would dwarf those Pac numbers. It's been proven over and over the Big12 simply has a much larger fan base that actually cares. Hell, almost doubled up the viewers with 2 of our smallest schools playing for the 'ship.

The difference here imo is that the gap in viewership between the Big 12 and the ACC/Pac is enormous. Surely you put our championship game against the Big Ten championship game directly, and it won't get as good of viewership, but I have a hard time believing it would be reduced by 5 million

 

[heitclone]

The ACC/PAC alliance would almost combine to be equal to the big 12. Thats with over 3 times as many schools and a bunch of huge TV markets that supposedly the big 12 can't compete with. Both of those leagues also had their biggest program playing, one with cfp and Heisman implications.

It's the same formula they've used to downgrade the big 12 for years, give us our moment!

I don't think it was ever an option to put the Pac-12 game in the early time slot since it would have been 9 am local time at kick. The Big 12 had a team playing for the CFP while the ACC did not. The Big 12 game was the better option for that slot.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Big 12 was by far the most enjoyable game too

The PAC game included their highest draw team that’s leaving the conference. With playoff implications and no competition.
Much of the value he and the other PAC clowns claim is the later time slots. Now the Big 10 has two big names in the PT zone, Big 12 has a MT zone team, and hell the SEC has had success putting games on a 9 pm local slot to compete in that slot.
PAC value sucks.
