Interesting look at most watched schools. TV viewing numbers are absolutely relevant to VALUE:

The numbers next to each school indicate the average number of viewers per week from 2015–19. Streaming numbers are included when available.

Conference championship games and bowl games are not included in these numbers. Games that were not nationally televised count as a zero, unless streaming data was available.

  1. Ohio State (5.19M)
  2. Alabama (5.09M)
  3. Michigan (4.18M)
  4. Notre Dame (3.61M)
  5. LSU (3.22M)
  6. Auburn (3.12M)
  7. Georgia (2.91M)
  8. Oklahoma (2.90M)
  9. Clemson (2.67M)
  10. Penn State (2.55M)
  11. Florida (2.46M)
  12. Wisconsin (2.27M)
  13. Texas (2.269M)
  14. Florida State (2.23M)
  15. Michigan State (2.20M)
  16. Southern Cal (1.98M)
  17. Tennessee (1.85M)
  18. Texas A&M (1.75M)
  19. Oklahoma State (1.64M)
  20. Mississippi (1.61M)
  21. Iowa (1.57M)
  22. Nebraska (1.51M)
  23. Miami (1.503M)
  24. TCU (1.495M)
  25. Stanford (1.43M)
  26. Oregon (1.34M)
  27. Arkansas (1.33M)
  28. Washington (1.32M)
  29. Mississippi State (1.31M)
  30. West Virginia (1.27M)
  31. Virginia Tech (1.26M)
  32. UCLA (1.25M)
  33. Louisville (1.22M)
  34. Indiana (1.17M)
  35. Baylor (1.12M)
  36. South Carolina (1.07M)
  37. Texas Tech (921K)
  38. Washington State (909K)
  39. Northwestern (867K)
  40. Utah (856K)
  41. Minnesota (803K)
  42. Pittsburgh (781K)
  43. North Carolina (749K)
  44. Iowa State (747K)
  45. California (730K)
  46. BYU (714K)
  47. NC State (703K)
  48. Arizona State (695K)
  49. Syracuse (694K)
  50. Houston (689K)
  51. Kansas State (682K)
  52. Maryland (681K)
  53. Purdue (620K)
  54. Georgia Tech (615K)
  55. Missouri (611K)
  56. Colorado (610K)
  57. Virginia (592K)
  58. UCF (566K)
  59. Memphis (564K)
  60. Arizona (561K)
  61. Kentucky (484K)
  62. Boise State (476K)
  63. Vanderbilt (438K)
  64. Cincinnati (430K)
  65. Duke (410K)
  66. USF (407K)
  67. Boston College (403K)
  68. Illinois (401K)
  69. Wake Forest (398K)
  70. Kansas (346K)
  71. Oregon State (295K)
  72. Rutgers (266K)
  73. SMU (232K)
Note: If Navy (1.01M) and Army (825K) were included on this list, they would rank 37th and 42nd, respectively. This is almost entirely thanks to their annual rivalry game, which brings in more than 7 million viewers each year. Navy also plays Notre Dame every year.

If you’re an Oklahoma State or TCU fan holding out hope for a Pac-12 invite, these rankings are something to point to. The Cowboys and Horned Frogs outranked every Pac-12 team except USC.

Same for West Virginia fans hoping for an ACC invite. The Mountaineers outranked every ACC team but Clemson, Florida State and Miami.

Their religious affiliation, even if they are very liberal with it.
I think you are projecting your biases onto someone else.

You have a bias against progressive politics so try to turn that into they are biased. You are the one discriminating .

There is where you made a mistake, making an assumption about me, when all I said is what has been already said about TCU and the PAC.

Has nothing to do with religion
It has to do with the fact that TCU is a smaller university that doesn’t have the size to be a R1 school

A lot of universities are like that. Almost all private schools are

Appears you are projecting your WVU biases as well onto this process. Actually I’m positive you are.

The fact you repeat such a rumor illustrates where you are coming from- you are projecting biases against California onto them.
