But that does not matter in "brands"
Way too many like your post think this is about winning, even winning championships. I would hold that to big media that is not a major concern. A bigger concern is that someone they have rejected suddenly wins one.
Big media has been so clear, they want a limited number of brand names and for the winners to come from that group period.
they don't want to promote or carry 126 teams or maybe even 46 teams, they want less and they have already identified them.
IMHO there is nothing that can be done on the field by any team non identified team that will move their needle.

I feel like FSU doesn't deserve being a "brand" based on recent past
