Most of Altimore’s charts are of little value.

He tries to create correlations where they don’t exist. His track record on conference realignment is dismal. He once created a chart that showed that Syracuse had the largest fan base in the ACC which most reasonable people would question. He had Syracuse’s fan base as the 14th largest in the country and his methodology involved google search counts and Nate Silver’s data ( prognosticator who predicted Hillary Clinton’s victory by a significant margin ).

Very curious to see what CFB games make it to ABC this season

Been going on 4 about 15 years, remember back then when they trashed ACC 🏈

Wait to see Tony Altimore's revised chart at the end of the year

Hopefully by the end of the year I'll have my research done to counter it
HokieAl • 08/22/24 05:21 PM ET
Look forward to seeing it. If you can somehow factor in
HouClone • 08/22/24 07:38 PM ET
All depends on what data is available. I have a possible source in mind**
HokieAl • 08/22/24 07:51 PM ET
The Big 10 Network publishes ratings. Perhaps use that as
HouClone • 08/22/24 08:18 PM ET
Unfortunatley, ACCN is not in the ratings book**
CobbCountyHokie • 08/23/24 04:34 PM ET
Any insight as to why not?

LSU in Vegas is not a home game
HokieAl • 08/22/24 03:49 PM ET
Here is why I noted it as an SEC home game
CobbCountyHokie • 08/22/24 05:40 PM ET
LSU being listed as the home game IS important
dayooper • 08/22/24 05:05 PM ET
That's not different than any other season. SEC spin has been thick
HokieAl • 08/22/24 05:19 PM ET
What ACC or Big XII games would you plug in instead?**
Pylons • 08/22/24 03:32 PM ET
Let's think this one through. Let's say a 1-loss Clemson comes into Lane
CobbCountyHokie • 08/22/24 03:48 PM ET
To answer *your* question, I don't know.
Pylons • 08/22/24 03:58 PM ET
Yep. And this early in the season before we have playoff implications,
Femoyer Hokie • 08/22/24 02:51 PM ET
I think it's pretty much been confirmed that only the SEC will play on ABC.
Baltimore_Hokie • 08/22/24 02:37 PM ET
Yep. It's simple, the more that ABC has in its inventory, the more ABC will
