That's not different than any other season. SEC spin has been thick

It's been at least a decade of SEC bias with the talk shows and the schedules and the exposure. ABC (and CBS and FOX) is always going to be reserved for the big brands first, especially the ones having a good year. Just look at Ole' Miss last year. They were 10-2 regular season and only made it on CBS once. Yes there is SEC bias, but even more than that is big brand bias. The national channels show the big brand schools over and over and over again.

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

Wk2/3 show more of the same

CBS Just Broadcasted ONE SEC Game Each Week

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
HouClone • 08/22/24 03:49 PM ET
Most of Altimore’s charts are of little value.

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

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
