Lots of different subsamples (regular season only, P5 only, removing Oklahoma, Texas, USC, UCLA) to try to assess which programs carry the most viewership as realignment kicks into high gear.
*note that Cincy, UCF, and Houston have very limited sample sizes gemerally and aren't even included for that reason when sample is narrowed to only P5 games
