Two teams in the PAC have made the CFP... Guess which two

Washington not only has made the 4 team playoff they are the only one of the 3 with a National championship.

I’m not a Washington fan by any stretch. But Washington and Oregon are talked about as the best of the PAC brands

You’re not wrong at all, but this is kind of interesting.

Why would anyone want Utah to move to the Big 12 and dilute the conferences brand?
slatecoug

Utah's a great program. Why do you think the 4 corners are mentioned so frequently without any hesitation on Utah?
TFL
3/23/23 12:54pm
Because people like round numbers.

Great football would be winning an occasional P5 OOC game, at least more than once every 4 to 5 years.

"4 Corners" is a Dennis Dodd marketing creation. Poor history of correctness
Ripliancum

Maybe...but I'll tell you, most B12 homers really want Utah. Dodd included.

Being a playoff contender doesn't necessarily make people want to watch your games.

Yep. People want to see bluebloods. Utah isn't one. They aren't about to
Carnac
3/23/23 11:37am
Utah isn't a blue blood. But to pretend they wouldn't be seen as a potential 12-team playoff contender
TFL
3/23/23 11:50am
But that is not the same thing as long-term enterprise value
Carnac
3/23/23 11:56am
Different argument though. In terms of high profile games with CFP ramifications
TFL
3/23/23 12:29pm
You mean kind of like they have been seen as a playoff contender going into the last 2 seasons?
slatecoug
3/23/23 12:29pm
But that's not the same as talking about the top PAC brands. Different issue.

NYC and Japan
3/23/23 12:48pm
Irrelevant. The comparison is Utah TV ratings vs. the other 7 schools.
TFL
3/23/23 12:57pm
What kind of audience do the Utes draw when Utah is the biggest name in the matchup?
slatecoug
3/23/23 1:48pm
Depends. 2019 Utah probably would've exceeded 5 million with any P12 opponent.
TFL
3/23/23 3:34pm
No one was following USC at that point. They were just glad Helton was gone.

I am sure all games that are compared were at the same time and channel

BYU vs USU last year also drew more than BYU vs Arkansas

Completely agree. Too many variables. But the core argument is that
TFL
3/23/23 5:06pm
Eh, from a viewership perspective I don't think Utah is in that range
krindorr

Until Utah stops performing. Everything reverts to the mean including Utah.

According to someone that has much more knowledge than most on here, BYU is in a higher tier than Utah.
slatecoug

Feel free to show any of us one good viewership game when Utah is the biggest name in the matchup for 2022?
slatecoug
3/24/23 4:18pm
Because you're trying the classic BYU example of comparing Utah to blue bloods. Not to its peers. Utah peers
TFL
3/24/23 4:31pm
Utah is not a peer to BYU. Utah would not bring an additional $4 to $5 Mil. for each of their conference mates.
slatecoug
3/25/23 4:00pm
Very well said. And the PAC12 will just get weaker with the new additions.

Atmospheric_Cougar
3/23/23 2:42pm
It's the game itself. A slight majority of viewers were neither Utah or USC fans. In fact, many were Ohio State
TFL
3/23/23 2:51pm
You don't think Boise St. made the same argument during their run? Same results
Atmospheric_Cougar
3/23/23 2:57pm
Yes. Totally. If they rose to a P5 and competed at the top like TCU and Utah have. Yes. But they upgraded to the MWC
TFL
3/23/23 3:15pm
Utah doesn't have the quality of program that can compete at a 10-15 level in a tougher conference.

The eye rolls are from Ute fans. Trolls that live here but don’t care about BYU.

Those eye rolls are because it's true and they can't debate it.

According to Altimore, Ohio St. fan base is over 11 Mil strong.

UberDeek

Perhaps. I think the PAC12 needs an undefeated team to reach the playoff. USC might be an exception to that this year
