CFB: Week 15 - Championship Weekend

My veteran brother had access to free tickets for the Big 12 title game but I didn’t push him to go. We’ve seen Memphis, PSU, OU and Florida. It was expected to rain and parking is pricey.

Iowa State seems to have travelled well but ASU wouldn’t be too crazy. They’re more of a west coast fanbase.

To Yormark’s point, we’re skipping the ACC title game and going to the SMU bowl game. Many fans I know are doing both.

Seemed to be a lot of upper deckers, I saw tickets for 13$, can’t blame them. Cowboy stadium seats 100,000, I’d bet +50,000 are there

Yep. FCS Sacramento State was his only D1 offer.

Expected to be about 10k SMU fans at the game. They’ll be spirited. My student son is there.

Not a fan of Smooo can’t stand them. Setting my feelings aside they got more than a fair chance of victory this Clemson team ain’t the same team of Clemson’s past.

Colorado vs BYU would have sold out.

Colorado vs Iowa State would have sold out

Okie Lite vs most teams would have sold out

UH/TCU/Tech/Baylor vs UH/TCU/Tech/Baylor DEFINITELY would have sold out.

So many combinations and we ended up with this.

That said, there’s definitely still a good crowd there. Just not P4 good.

Seats 80,000; expandable to 105,000 with
SRO. But agree it’s a big stadium.

Still, doubtful it will be close to last years
game.

The 22nd edition of the Big 12 Championship Game was held on December 2, 2023, and featured 84,523 people in attendance, a Big 12 title game record. The game was broadcast on ABC, drawing an average of 7.89 million television viewers.

Thank goodness for Iowa State fans.

I don’t think any of those combos get 70k fans except maybe BYU vs CU. UH fans would be very motivated as would TTech. TCU and Baylor are solid. KU, Arizona schools, UCF and Cinci not so much.

Local UT fans were very motivated at a Playoff shot and last year in Big 12.

Yikes, Yormack could have gotten a better performer for cheaper.

Oh I get that; but this is visually showing us
where the Big12 now stands in the overall
scheme. Hopefully future B12 Championship games will have the more favorable matchups folks have mentioned. Hopefully the viewership of the
2024 game will be good.

NEYO was rocking it, no lip syncing, I was entertained

Yep. ACC might draw less going up against Big 10 title game with 1 vs 3.

untimely fumble by ISU

And it woulda been a better game, I feel for ISU not winning their conference since 1912; but they can’t score.

any combination of CU, BYU and ASU would probably be a better game. Although that said, none of the conference champ games so far, including the current MAC; have been close.

I think ASU fans are saving their time and money to go to the first round playoff game. THAT is going to be a real big deal and first time for the 12 team concept.

Shame ASU lost to Cincy earlier in the year.
