isn't all that important. The big problem is that it all seems really good but then you see certain things that stick out in the charts that are obviously wrong and those few things then make you think "hmmm, what does that say about the rest of the data".

Understand, but it's still an interesting look. Obviously he's looking at it from a "number of fans" standpoint (with some admittedly stated assumptions), rather than a "number of TV sets for my conference network" standpoint. I was just surprised Clemson was as high as it was.

It was tweeted today because MD is now the lowest among all the B1G. But again, for them it's about $$$ and for B1G it's about TV sets for the B1G Network.

No effect on the current issue. Just thought it interesting from an outsider perspective...

wrong.

Auburn ahead of Alabama, Florida, and LSU. Really? Does anyone actually believe Auburn has more fans then those 3, especially Alabama. Its just insane. Look at the ACC and where he has FSU ranked. You go anywhere you will see FSU shirts and hats, he has GT ranked way up there. Thats a joke. Something is fundamentally wrong with how he came up with these numbers.
