SEC on CBS - Ratings down 15% this year

  • kitemac said...

    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.

    That's about 12% too high.

    Well, A&M fans are barners in cowboy boots so maybe that 4% gets depressed too.

  • Not so impressive when you consider Alabama vs Georgia was the #2 vs #3, and Notre Dame is #1 vs an unranked USC. I thought the might SEC rules everything.

    sec way up, bigten back down.

    after looking at the sec over last 20 years, this isn't linear. it's just all over the place, which isn't really surprising. some years there are a handful of teams just a ton better than everyone else in conf (2011 sec), some years there are a bunch of ok/good teams but none great (2012 big12).

    sec went back down, bigten went way up.

    and just last year (2011): 1. SEC (29-1-0)--0.96667 (32.43-10.90) (21.53) (174-174-0)--0.50000 2. Big Ten (23-3-0)--0.88462[1] (32.42-16.19) (16.23) (136-169-0)--0.44590 3.

    sec way up, bigten back down.

    after looking at the sec over last 20 years, this isn't linear. it's just all over the place, which isn't really surprising. some years there are a handful of teams just a ton better than everyone else in conf (2011 sec), some years there are a bunch of ok/good teams but none great (2012 big12).
