And a stand-alone game with playoff implications and far and away the best draw in the PAC (for now) drew dogcrap.Of the Saturday games, the Big-12’s was the only one of consequence to the playoff. Obviously nice to see viewership up, but I wouldn’t use this year as a super accurate barometer of fan interest in each conference.

Not everything is a conspiracy.
So, coaches are not allowed to be contacted by schools interested in their services? If so that's news to me, I suppose it could be in a contract, but I have never heard it enforced. If so that seems hypocritical, if a coach is underperforming are schools prohibited from seeking a replacement.
That's literally what agents are for because yes, you're going to get sued if you're tampering with someone under contract.
Same goes for the players. All of these players have people that can be contacted on their behalf, high school coaches, parents, agents, etc.

So, the CCG viewer numbers are
SEC: 10.89 million (-5 million)
Big Ten: 10.69 million (-1 million)
Big 12: 9.41 million (+1.4 million)
Pac-12: 5.96 million (+4.2 million)
ACC: 3.46 million (+1 million)
I think that is a really good showing for the Big 12. Perhaps competitive football matters...
That would be why I said "of the Saturday games." I was not comparing to the Pac-12.Pac 12 game had playoff implications.
What it shows is that it doesn't matter if it's Texas or OU. What matters is relevant games on relevant networks at convenient times of the day. The brands don't matter as much as the TV slot and how it fits into the national picture. Of course a Red River Rivalry championship game would've had a bigger number, but the other 8 programs in the Big 12 are bigger draws than they are getting credit for from the talking heads.Of the Saturday games, the Big-12’s was the only one of consequence to the playoff.

under the new playoff format this conference game will get eyeballs as well. All conf. title games will probably see a bump (depending where the pac 12 media deal falls)Of the Saturday games, the Big-12’s was the only one of consequence to the playoff.

Yeah, so we have a conference that is playing a meaningful championship football game, and neither of the teams is OU or Texas. It was the same story last year with OSU and Baylor. And both games were a fun watch. It more than proves that the conference is capable of having great teams that people want to watch even if OU and Texas are not involved.Of the Saturday games, the Big-12’s was the only one of consequence to the playoff.
