   (but still prior to the Big Ten acquisitions) went to the SEC, 18 of the top   
   20 are Big Ten or SEC schools, the only exceptions being Notre Dame and   
   Clemson. The Pac-12 only had    
   2 in the top 30: Washington and USC, and two more between 30 and 40: Oregon   
   and Utah. Without USC and UCLA, I don't think the Pac-N was ever going to be   
   able to pull a really good TV deal. The Big 12 did themselves some favors by   
   quickly snagging BYU (   
   23rd), and UCF (49th). Certainly not as good as Oklahoma and Texas but right   
   in line with the next tier. With the recent moves, the team with the best   
   attendance that does not belong to the Big Ten, SEC, ACC, or Big 12 is Cal at   
   #55.   
      
   And Cal hasn't been on-field relevant since the year they got screwed out and   
   told the Holiday Bowl to go fuck off.   
      
   You are basically going to be down to four major conferences and Notre Dame.    
   Do you get a re-breakaway, or...
