I have a different view.
I grew up listening to Alabama on the radio and later, broadcast tv, then cable. Now streaming. Everything revolved around the Game. Most of my family went to SEC schools .. LSU, Tennessee, Alabama, Ole Miss, Florida, A&M.
If the B1G is better than the SEC this next year or not, it’s not going to make one bit of difference. People will get up, put GameDay on, start getting their tailgates underway, and watch football. Nobody is going to suddenly start watching B1G or ACC or any other conference because they aren’t fans of those conferences. It’s not part of the social agenda.
So folks can argue as much as they want about X beat more teams than Y, but it isn’t going to change fan behavior. But it seems important to some, so go for it. I think it’s a waste of time but that’s me.
