Why Michigan, USC, new-look Big Ten will dominate SEC in 2024 | Colin Cowherd College Football 

Georgia has won 28 in a row and u rarely talk about then lol straight network bias

Colin Clown Show 🤡

USC dominate? Is this 2003-2004?

SEC football is becoming like NASCAR...regional and niche.

Spot on. And also have a lot of people in the Vancouver market as well watching usc, ucla, washington, and oregon and then in the east there's the toronto market with literally tons of big 10 fans.

Big Ten will dominate the SEC? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oops Talent and results matter. Otherwise soccer would be bigger than football. Goofy ass take.

Yeah, NY, Washington, and Pennsylvania ain’t putting out 40-50 division one players a year like Georgia, Alabama, Florida, and Louisiana. 🧢

SEC UGA , TEXAS BAMA WILL STOMP ALL B10 except OSU

Riley overrated like usual

The problem is these backwoods SEC people don't realize outside of Bama LSU and UGA literally no one cares about the other games 😂.. And the population is so small everyone in those towns are at the games not watching it on TV so thats no revenue for advertising. Ark, Mizzou, south Carolina, Auburn, Florida, Tenn, Ol miss etc they are all 🗑️🚮 teams. The SEC is 3 teams and a bunch of dead weight. It's sad how slow the southern people still are in 2023 😂

Cowturd nows nothing

Why does Collin care about tv money? Josh Pate gets this absolutely right. Fans shouldn’t care about that unless it will relegate your team/conference to national irrelevance, which won’t happen to the SEC. Also the SEC is evenly split between two time zones, and I don’t believe for even half a second that your average Chicago or New Yorker cares about CFB because of Rutgers and Northwestern. If they care it’s because of Ohio State or Georgia or Texas, etc. And don’t tell me Texas has been underachieving when you’re sitting there propping up USC. Dumb video.

You hit the nail on the head Colin

Agreed

Dude colin you need better lighting. You look like you have glittery eye shadow half of the time. UNLESS you like looking like you just got back from a secret drag show

Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss, Auburn, Florida, Arkansas, Kentucky,and more and you saying that is not best league? Lol

The most overrated overhyped conference in college football has to be the BigTen Conference. All that BugTen money and zero National Titles to show for since 2015

Psssshhhhh

Where Colin was wrong…

No one can predict the future. Rankings are pretty useless.

There is something seriously wrong with this man.

What are you talking about? SEC has a ton of central time zone teams. Auburn for crying out loud is central time

IDK Texas and OU vs Florida, Bama, GA, and LSU sounds great as well

USC isnt gonna be a winner. Its been almost 20 years since Reggie Bush. They couldnt get it done with Caleb. I rest my case.

This is just hot take clown nonsense

This is silly cmon get real. Im a michigan fan and big 10 supporter but there still not as good as the sec with expansion. They have closed the gap slightly however

Big 10 been better than the SEC for years. SEC is a top heavy conference lacks overall competitiveness of the big 10

LMAO this has to be a clickbait and get views take, no way Colin actually believes this or he's getting senile with old age lolol

Guys an SEC hater and it blinds him to reality.

💯 correct the big ten games are gonna be crazy good all year 👏

Colin loves the sound of his own voice. I on the other hand do not enjoy his voice due to what I hear when I listen 👎🏾

This is a Fox Sports promotional video.

I’m a usc fan and if you think we’re dominating sec teams with our defense you need to put down the crack pipe

The problem I see is that there is just too much dead weight in the Big 10. The SEC has Vandy but the Big 10 has 8 of them 😂.

👎

Yeah sure man we know you're trying to promote Fox duh

Really, Anonymous TV Executive? If you were to create a college football conference from scratch today, you wouldn't want the state of Texas? You wouldn't want two top ten markets (Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston)? Really? You wouldn't want a football crazy state? I find that hard to believe.

I dunno about comparing a uga vs ole miss in a blowout game that was out of hand early vs a 9-point gam2 vs um and penn state. Especially with all the coverage harbaugh being suspended got. Lemme see stats on all the games and let's track the average. Every team doesn't have a big inventory of games with 8 million in viewership 6 times a year.

Colin Cowturd= Michigan Slappy and bandwagon SC fan

Oregon has been to two national titles in the past 13 years which is 2 more than anyone in the B1G besides Ohio state and only 1 less than Ohio State

Of course you say that because you work at fox. Lol Colin is delusional his takes on college football are always terrible

I’m a UM fan, but until we actually win vs the SEC you won’t convince me this is true.

I don’t think Colin believes what he’s saying at this point. He’s just trolling, pandering and saying anything with weird shock value to get ratings. If he really wants to say something interesting or controversial he would criticize Harbaugh and support fair play. That’s the minority opinion these days. Colin is just too unplugged to get it. Cheating isn’t good for the Big 10, NCAA, Michigan, or Harbaugh. People don’t like cheats despite Colin’s spin on this story. It’s a turnoff and detestable to normal people, who btw represent the majority. Colin has money right now, and feels invincible. Wealth changes hands really fast.

Colin is wrong

An Fox employee preaches the superiority of his networks conference over another networks conference lol

This is such a laughably bad take Colin....I doubt you read your comments section but I'd LOVE to come on any platform and just tear this terrible stance apart and debate you. (1) Any hypothesis that is centered around a college conference excelling due to large metro city markets is critically flawed. You know what people in large metro cities like to watch the most? Professional Sports.....not college and the data bears that out. You know why the SEC has been the best conference for the last 30 years? Unparalleled Regional Support and proximity to high volume high quality football recruits. The south doesn't have many professional teams like your precious large metro markets so all the smaller regional area's live and die by their college teams. (2) It's just insane to say in the last part of the video "if you are starting a new conference today you want to be in the Big Ten footprint." Because college football more than any other sport has a direct correlation from recruiting to on-field success. If you breakdown NFL rosters (which is by far the most unbiased evaluation of regional football talent production) the extended south (basically Texas + traditional south) produces consistently the best football talent in the country both overall and per capita. And the one great recruiting football area the new Big Ten has (California) due to healthy food culture isn't producing 5 ***** Offensive and Defensive lineman at a high rate. There just are less and less large people on the West Coast than other area's of the country. Die hard college football fans know that in modern football elite defensive lineman are the more important position on the team outside QB. So while I actually agree the Big Ten will have a financial advantage over the SEC for the next 10-15 years due to the current TV contracts of both it's highly unlikely that strongly effects the outcome on the field. Lastly, whatever financial advantage the Big Ten schools may have the SEC will always be more willing to invest more $$$ into football (coaching salaries, facilities, NIL) than any other conference. The Big Ten schools just don't historically spend on Football what the SEC does and I don't see that changing even when they have more money then anybody else.

We'll see how these teams like flying 3k miles routinely I imagine there's gonna be a whole lot of complaining.

These folks and their SEC hate is hilarious 😂

People actually need to look at a map and migration patterns in America. People from the other parts of the country are not watching SEC football games like that.

This is a terrible take. Northwestern and Rutgers are going to pull New Jersey and Chicago markets…cmon dude, college football has never been based on cities it’s dominated by college towns. The big10 expansion is cool but let’s be real the top two teams (CFP champion teams) will be the same for the foreseeable future (OSU & Michigan), hell PSU might still even be three, but that’s all it is adding a bunch of schools to finish in third or fourth. If Harbough stays at Michigan honestly how long will it be before a Washington or USC bests them?

This sounds amazing, but it doesn’t sounds right. 1. Apparently Colin doesn’t know that the SEC West is in the Central Time Zone. 2. College football is more of a rural sport. More to the point since I’ve lived in a lot of places in my life I’ll break it down like this. In the south east people are talking about college football and going to 6 or 7 watch parties a season. In the NE it doesn’t get discussed much and it takes Boston College, Syracuse, or Penn State (when they actually beat OSU or UM) doing well to get an occasional mention. Midwest is more similar to South East but it’s more in pockets and not in the major cities. Out West unless a team is on a serious run no one cares that much. 3: The Viewership comparison was dumb. Viewership is more based on tradition than ranked vs ranked. UM vs PSU is a top 3 Big 10 game of the year every year. UGA vs Ole Miss happens once every 5 years. How about this which conference got top Viewership last weekend? Oh look it’s the SEC. 4. If the B1G wants to get the same talent level they’ve still got to recruit in Texas and the South East. The B1G isn’t watched as much there so the amount of resources the individual schools will have to spend to recruit there will be significantly more than the SEC. Also only Oregon of the new blood has facilities on the SEC level. The rest of the the current B1G, outside of the top 3, is going to have to throw down 9 figures to upgrade their facilities to compete in recruiting.

I don’t often agree with Cowherd but this is likely to be true. Yeah no one denies the Cream of CFB now is Georgia, Alabama, and sometimes LSU, but to have so many blue bloods in one conference with the B1G is going to pull in a lot of money and eyeballs. SEC is going to regret only having 8 conference games. No one wants to see Alabama whoop on Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee, and at least one other FCS for 3 of 4 non conference games.

I don't know anyone who watches MLS.

This comment section is hilariously a bunch of Big 10 fanboys. USC, Oregon, Washington, and UCLA are in the same conference now. The conference is dying because they can't get a TV deal but I'm suppose to believe adding them to another conference makes that conference more attractive.

Yes and no. You completely overlook Texas, Georgia and Florida. Those are the areas of the country that are growing. California and New York not so much.

SEC - it means more. And thus we support our teams more. We have better players. More good players. Deeper teams. Gameday atmospheres are tougher. Southern Cal is a complete joke. They don’t care and they are SOFT. Will never amount to anything.

Big Ten fan club here. USC is going to be like Nebraska. Big name fading into mediocrity and being Ohio State's punching bag.

Great that the tv fat cats get to stuff their pockets even more but as a west coast fan, it’s complete garbage. I shouldn’t have to wake up at 9am for a usc game. It’s idiotic

4 SEC teams are eastern timezone, and the sport has more energy, more investment, and more fans [[MORE FANS]] in the states where the flagship programs joined the SEC. Also, you can't compare Ole Miss to Penn State.

No conference would take UCLA in football if it were not for being in LA.

I can't wait...

Why does anyone care about what this guy has to say? Dawgs beat Michigan 34-11, beat Oregon 49-3, but the Big 10 is gonna dominate. Whatever dude. Go Dawgs!❤️🖤🏆🏆

Actually, 9 Universities are in the central time zone and 5 in the eastern time zone, so perhaps not 'overwhelmingly in the eastern.

These things sound good for nfl but not so much for college, playing four different timezones tough in nfl team imagine a college team. Also big 10 is in the middle of nfl country your not the only show in the state or even half the state. Look at pennsylvania its like a 3 layered cake pittsburgh steelers(west), penn state (middle), and eagles(east). Same with ohio and look at usc they cant even sell out when being good.

Hers has been dead wrong about USC crap 💩 overrated

It’s going to be FS1 and Big 10 super conference vs ESPN and SEC super conference.

I disagree with Colin. The regions he refers to are losing their population. Every southern state is growing.

Mr. Cowherd you are correct, and for those who don’t believe you wait till the college football playoffs expand. These new teams going to Big 10 are big market universities with deep pockets.

SEC will always be on top. Colin is the definition of a upper class ny/cali snob that can’t relate with the south

The Super Conferences are going to be so much fun. And we get more football at the end of the season with the playoff expansion so it won't feel like it is as quick of a season.

Colin is hoping because he doesn't like SEC football but he'll be disappointed. The ring count over the last 25 years is hilariously bad for every other conference combined vs. the SEC.

I just listened to this again to give Collin a chance, and I gotta say it's his worst take ever. He's been horribly wrong before, but he's never seemed naive and frankly dumb.

The worst part of the Pac12 is the cannibalization within the conference. Week 3-6, talking heads keep saying it is the best conference due to their non conference records. Now most teams have 3-4 losses, and the conversation is "who have you played?" The best thing the B1G 10 can do is schedule a couple of marquee matchups per team, so Ohios State, Michigan, Penn State, Oregon, Washington, etc. Don't cannibalize each other and keep the conference out of the top 5-10.

Colin has a point. Viewership equals more advertising dollars. Recruiting will become difficult for the SEC to sustain. Viewership means more kids will grow up seeing Big Ten games being nationally televised. It will be interesting to watch what the future holds. Saban & Smart won't coach forever.

Dead On!! Looks ironically like a war of attrition and Big 10 has the largest viewing audiences, which equals bucks. Unless SEC adds the Big 12, they will be crushed by the Big 10.

The sec is where the talent is! Do to location alone! Where else you gonna find 16 year old boys standing between 5:10 and 6 feet weighing between 180 and 200 pounds of natural muscle! Running between a 4-5 to 4-6 speed AT 16 YEARS OLD?” IN THE SOUTH!”from Texas across to the Carolinas is where you gonna find most of these kids! Or In the southeast! Especially in places like southern Mississippi, southern Alabama and southern Georgia! Just to name a few. From Texas all the way across the southeast football is MANDATORY!😂

I believe the East coast and SEC teams will continue to brutalize West coast teams. Whether Michigan, Bama, UGA, whoever, those West coast teams have never been able to guard their lunch at kindergarten. Colin raved about Lincoln Riley when he left Oklahoma. That's been great, right? lol

Viewership might go up, but talent isn’t gonna stop being superior in the SEC

You already said people in California don't like meatloaf

SEC has 5 of the top 6 recruiting classes this year and next year. the big ten cannot compete after oregon, michigan, usc, and washington all lose their starting qb to the nfl

Schools like USC and Ohio State don't think Conference like SEC schools, which may change with a nationwide media footprint.

No more the Volume? The ego of Cowherd....

Ratings? Who winning titles

When did this channel get changed from the volume? I noticed the other podcasts started their own channels?

There’s valid points here.

I like Colin but this might be the biggest reach of his broadcasting career.

Now that programs can buy players and the legit way to do it is through advertiser relationships, the conference with the most TV advertising dollars will be in pole position for attracting the best players. Yes, the SEC historically has had tremendous advantages: local buy in, warm climate, conference leadership that turned a blind eye to recruiting violations, lesser academics, more talent in region to draw on, etc. In the new economic climate, those advantages don’t matter as much anymore. College football as a whole will benefit due to audience growth and a better TV product, but the SEC is likely to suffer, especially if measured against its dominance in the last two decades.

Stop 😂 the talent differential in the sec is worlds better it’s not close I mean the pac 12 looks better than big 10 rn😂

Colin has been trying to wish this into existence for years. The best talent in the country is in the south and they will continue to go to southern schools.

There has never been a day on planet Earth that the B1G has dominated the SEC. Quite the opposite in fact. Totally no surprise to hear this ridiculous take from Cowturd, however. He's like a weather man. Mostly wrong, but keeps his job.

Rivalry games are over for a lot of teams and the west coast teams are going to be at a big disadvantage traveling. Hes right about ratings and advertisers... The NCAA is going away from local markets and the bottom line will go up. I just think its fucked up that the networks did this to us but it is predictable. Fuck over longtime fans to bring more casuals in. It doesnt always work out. Nascar did this and it killed the sport

Colin sure is rilling up the hillbillies with this one…lol.

Michigan is leaving the B1G in two years.

For whatever reason colin has worshipped jim harbaugh since their dumpster fire interview

Put the BIG travel is horrific. For all the other sports.

Why in the hell would they mention USC and UM and not OSU that will yet again carry the banner of the conference. Big 10’s relevance is Ohio State not Cheatagain

Cool. Send a team that can compete in January. “When Washington and Oregon have the right coach they can be good”. Yeah when Florida, Auburn, and Tennesee have the right coach they can win titles. That’s the difference. In the new SEC you have 8 programs that at their best can win the championship. (UGA, Bama, LSU, Auburn, Florida, Tennessee, OU, Texas). In the current Big 10 you literally have one team that in the last 20 years has shown it can compete on the national scene. Adding the West Coast teams will help but still isn’t enough to close the gap. Cool you’ll win the ratings championship every year. But 18 year old recruits from the south don’t care that Ron from Chicago wants to watch Big 10 football over the SEC. Championships and more importantly the NFL draft will still be dominated by the SEC.

🤣🤣🤣 this is one of his worst takes ever lmao Colin’s love affair w Michigan and the little10 conference will never get old🤣🤣🤣

Why did the PAC 12 die? Oh ok.
