TV ratings... Utah has benefitted from big games, but I'm not certain they drive

I’m happy to look at whatever numbers you have that show long term TV numbers.

Look at any game, not against UCLA, USC or Oregon

I can find games that make any team look good and ones that make them look bad

There's some truth to this ... But the comparison is against Colorado, Arizona, ASU who have that same advantage

The problem with the ute mindset is that you think

Lol. To draw a national audience, both teams have to be competitive. IN 2019, Utah was the main draw

Again with the overinflated sense of self worth. smh

Eh, I definitely think USC, Oregon, Florida etc are the heavy lifters there but Utah contributes some

The utes big numbers come from the CCG and bowl games. I stand by ANY p12 team in their place.

The numbers cited don't include bowl games and CCGs though and Utah is ahead of Arizona, ASU, Colorado w same schedules

Gotcha. I completely agree CCGs and bowl games are not evidence of Utah's drawing power

The large viewership draws for 2019 Ore-Utah / 2021 Ore-Utah / 2022 Utah-USC that all set west coast records

That's not true at all. If they artificially put a 1-11 CU team or even a 7-4 BYU — both would've been

Stupid scenario since neither would have been in the CCG or Rose Bowl duh

I don't follow. In your example you say replace any P12 team with Utah and they'd have the same audience
