So the Cotton crashed by -46%? We know KSU and Okie State are probably a push in terms of ratings. Hmmm, I wonder what else it could be. What changed for the Cotton Bowl then this year. I have a couple ideas but I jusssssst can't quite put my finger on it.

Let me guess, your answer has nothing to do with the fact a BCS game featuring Ohio State was on another channel, does it?

True. The previous Cotton Bowl was the only game on that night, and it also featured the first freshman qb to win the Heismann ever....that might explain a bump in the ratings.

But when you put it up against something shitty like a lowly Cotton Bowl it blows the doors off. How does this one get figured out? |

Changes from last year's Cotton to this year's: 1) Lined up against a BCS game (2014) instead of the only bowl game that evening 2) Did not feature the Heisman trophy winner 3) Did not feature Oklahoma vs. Texas A&M

That's nothing to be ashamed of. Nobody is as good as the SEC. Eventually, there will be a single year in which the SEC is way down and another league is way up, and there can be an argument on which league was better in that particular year. It's bound to happen eventually.
The ACC sent 10 teams to bowl games and won the NC. The PAC won 6 bowl games. Nobody else did shit this year, but there's always next year. Maybe Michigan, Penn State, and Nebraska get their shit together. That would help the B1G. Maybe the Big 12 adds UCF and Cincy in the hopes that they work out better than TCU and WVU. Couldn't hurt, right? Hell...if Mizzou and aTm were still in the Big 12 and the SEC added TCU and WVU instead, the Big 12 would probably be the strongest conference this year.

The PAC-12 has big positives and negatives. Their members are so geographically isolated that no other major conference would try to poach them, but that causes trouble when trying to secure quality secondary bowl bids. Their footprint is growing quickly, representing large potential future profits, yet the western third of the country is (mostly) indifferent toward college sports. Their current membership makes the most sense of any P5 conference (Utah borders Arizona, Colorado borders Utah), but there is only one high-quality candidate left in their part of the country, and the academicians want no part of them.

It's called playing by far the toughest schedule in the nation (the gap from #1 to #2 is the same as from #2 to #81). Something Mike Alden will never do.
