Well, it's in  keeping with the theme of this thread, e.g., how many things get "ranked" by someone, whether they make any sense or not, often not, and whether the rankings even mean anything at all useful or notable.

Now, someone might define "biggest brands" with something related and quantative, like money spent buying shirts etc.  Maybe that list would be, well, a list.

yeah except measuring which brands are the biggest is a very easy and objective thing to do- and there is no subjectivity involved whatsoever. 

that is literally how you measure how big certain brands are, measuring tv viewers + ticket sales + merchandising sales. 

And when doing that, there is no galaxy in this universe or any universe in which Michigan and Notre Dame are not in the top 5 of that. Your top 5 would be Ohio State, Bama, Michigan, Notre Dame, and probably Texas.

If someone posted that, though, they wouldn't get much attention beyond "Well, yeah...".  By posting a stupid ranking, one gets noticed.

very true. 

in this day and age, everything is just about getting clicks.

Alabama is not in the AP top 10. Clemson is unranked.

The world is changing.

yeah, he's an obvious dumbass. Michigan and Notre Dame are both easily top 5 national brands in college football. Dumbfk has Michigan at #16 and ND at #12. Lol.
Having A&M above Texas really brings the lulz as well.  No offense intended to our good friend Gigem.

Brands don't change nearly as quickly as the current football landscape.  If it did, then we'd have no designation for "helmet" teams.

Looks like they weigh MOV over total cupcakes pretty highly.

When does Wisconsin play Johns Hopkins in football this year?  Or are they in the other division?

Hopkins is a Lacrosse member only.

ND is a member for hockey.
