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.

Kinda funny to me that "communist" China has all these billionaires ostensibly.

take the top 50 in value/revenue

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