I guess I'd be OK with Nebraska @ #8

last season the gophers were #8 @ 5-4 in conference and 8-5 overall
Be WAY better to be #7 with the head to head win over the Hawkeyes with the same record

I don't know how to "value" a CFB program or what goes into it, but I think UGA would be in the 7=9 range today.

There are lots of ways to value a company or entity as a going concern.

If you read the article, they tell you how they formulated their valuations.

There are, I'm not interested enough, it's probably behind a firewall.  I could go with my nearly pure guesses and concoct a ranking about as "useful".

I'd probably have OSU at 1, I think they do something unusual with their apparel sales.  Or something.  Huge fan base, elite program, large stadium ...

I can see Texas at 2, Penn State, Michigan, Alabama in some order that doesn't matter to me.

take the top 50 in value/revenue

(5) 10-team conferences - group them by region
4-team playoff at the end of the season
