I bet that list looks different next year.
January 19, 20241 yr I'm guessing we will have a chance to top the 11 Alabama had this year if we go deep in the post-season next year. Texas and UGA are both likely to have all their conference games well watched and to be contenders to play in the CCG and CFP. Even the teams with a bye have a chance to play as many as 3 CFP games starting in '24. Our game against Michigan is likely going to be a top draw. If our conference, Michigan, and post-season games get favorable TV slots, and if we make a run no further (play in CCG, lose in "final four") than we did this year, that would be 12+ "big" games.
January 19, 20241 yr We'll do a steady climb up that list in the next few years. Those numbers are the consequences of wandering the desert for more than a decade combined with LHN being impossible to get for many. Oh, and almost forgot: shitty Midwest opponents nobody cares to watch no matter who they're playing. I guarantee more eyes will be watching us play the Vandys, SCars and Miss States of the world than ever tuned in for Kansas, K-State, Iowa State etc.
