Everyone is talking about the fall off of College Gameday, so I went to take a look at the numbers. Since ESPN secured the rights to the SEC, the SEC has gotten college gameday 60% of the time. Last season 2/3 of all gamedays were SEC. If it feels like you are seeing the same
Instead of college gameday I've been watching some other CFB experience content that I think is super unique. @GfedGoCrazy is on a 100 Stadiums in 100 days tour, and it is fascinating. He's been from Utah to UTEP to Miami and everywhere in between. Incredible content.
The other gameday experience that I can't get enough of is @snapback_sports and their Snapback Saturdays Tour. They went in a cold tub at Nebraska, have gone to Delaware State for an HBCU Homecoming, and flew to Hawaii for Week 0 on the Island. @SnapbackSports1 class="text-blue-500 hover:underline" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/@Snapb...
Sports media is so much better than what is on TV I promise you, you just have to look for it.

@r_winston_smith In 2023 “other” 1 was a future Big 10 - Colorado, Notre Dame, Duke, Washington, Utah, JMU In 2022 “other” 1 was a future Big 10 - Pitt, App State, Clemson, TCU, Oregon, Jackson State, TCU, Montana State So 2 games would have moved categories due to conference realignment (and
@SmashHitsSports 6 major markets moved from “Other” into the B1G and SEC in ‘24. If you weren’t paying attention.
@SmashHitsSports @CFBHome College Gameday definitely used to be more fun. I’m sick of seeing SEC on repeat every week.
@SmashHitsSports This graphic is a nightmare for a colorblind person
@SmashHitsSports Gameday is doing the exact opposite of falling off
@SmashHitsSports Literally everything espn does sucks
