  • According to the article it's because of blowouts.

    The gap between the top 6 and the rest of the conference is just massive.

    Yup. That's gotta be it. The Arkansas-LSU game the day after Thanksgiving usually has good numbers. I doubt as many people watched the game this year due to Arkansas' record. It was a surprisingly close game.

    SEC is too top heavy. Need to get them some parity like the B10.

  • If only everyone in the conference was 7-4 the ratings would have been better.

  • CBS also dropped the Tenn-UF game, which historically, draws in a good amount of viewers. It had a ton of viewers this year.

    The worst teams in the conference just need to be more competitive. It's not that they're losing. It's how badly they are losing.

    They were pretty down this year. Tennessee and Arky were expected to be better and Auburn was way worse than expected.

    Still Ole Miss played some teams close and they way they are recruiting this year they might be getting a lot better. Also the teams that are bringing in new coaches should improve.

  • I'm telling you it's because Auburn is down... When was the last time Auburn was in the gutter? 2008, which is the last time ratings are this low... Facts is all I bring to this board.

    sec top is dominant vs their conf sub counterparts, but bigten and pac12 aren't far behind. 3 pt difference and basically flawless records.

    Don't be angry that UF doesn't get the love that Auburn gets. When UF is down no one cares except you jort people. When Auburn is down about 15% of all SEC watchers are depressed.

    True, Auburn ruined the ratings for the Iron Bowl again.
