An important distinction - "Brands" vs. performance on the field

for nationally known football "brands" (not necessarily recent performance) I would put Texas on the top 10, but probably not Oklahoma Top 5 is easy - probably (and not in any particular order) ND, Alabama, Michigan, Ohio State, Texas or USC tied, the next 4 a little tougher - maybe Georgia, Nebraska, one of the big Florida Schools (FSU/UF), maybe Penn State or aTm (because they are so massive)? OU close but not sure if they crack the top 10. Again - nationally known "brands". I admit I have an east coast slant but these are the national brands I see the most whenever I go out in public

They could make the ACC a P3. I'm not sure of the financials.

If they absolutely had to join a conference, would bet they would join...

Agreed, but we likely won't pull P2 money anymore as Big10 and SEC grew...

Agreed - long term demographics do not favor B1G - it may take decades

The SEC didn't just get the top two brands from the B12, they

Texas and Oklahoma are arguably the top 5 brands in football.

P2 (read advertisers) aren't leaving the Atlanta to DC corridor untouched
RTFC • 08/19/23 04:44 PM ET
Probably, but remember, the P2 is Fox and ESPN. They already have

Not with any teams that, as you said, some could probably compete in the P2
