Anyone else suspicious how that formula will work? We know a vague description of Total School Viewership as percent of Total “ACC” Viewership and that the most recent season result gets more weighting.
Imagine the following:
What if only the ACC regular season conference games are used? That could bias results towards two tiers of schools where a bunch are clustered together around 7-10 percent. Clemson and FSU would only have the benefit of being an annual rivalry game. Viewership of playing two SEC teams annually would be excluded for Clemson. A big number from playing ND would be excluded. We play LSU in a H&H, but NCSt plays ECU in a H&H. We don’t benefit and NCSt doesn’t get penalized. The fact that this brand pool got adopted after so much resistance two years ago sure makes me suspicious.
Any chance the ACC publishes the fine print of the viewership calculation? I won’t be surprised if that’s the next document kept under super secret classification in Charlotte.
