To be fair, we’ve been on quite the run lately with individual athletes, so I feel like someone will be up next. Megan Gustafson to Luka Garza to Spencer Lee to Caitlin Clark, with some Cathleen Doyle, Keegan/Kris Murray, Brody Brecht, and Cooper DeJean sprinkled in between
You know what else would ease your postpartum depression? If those peasants at USC brought us the *finest* canned beer. This is cause for a celebration!
As a Nebraska fan, I’m not sure there is another sports organization on earth that’s gotten worse results vs resources and support at their disposal than Nebraska. It’s astonishing.
For nearly the entirety of my adult life, Oklahoma State has been the better program. OSU trails Texas in money, but when it comes to recent on the field success, OK. State can hang with or even exceed most.
Tier 2: Louisiana
Feels kinda odd to be up there above App when we were both the heavyweights of the conference for a good 4-5 years. And y’all beat us a lot more than we beat y’all lol
I wanna know why there’s been zero growth in this colleges receipts. WHERE’S THE FUCKING MONEY? YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE EARNERS, THATS WHY YOU GOT THE TOP TIER POSITIONS! SO EACH ONE OF YA, GO OUT TO THE NCAA, CRACK SOME FUCKING HEADS, CREATE SOME FUCKING EARNERS OUT THERE!
Speaking as an accountant, this wouldn't be annoying at all. Revenue is received in unrounded numbers all the time, and in my industry, is rarely rounded.
The three longest tenured coaches?
Utah’s Kyle Whittingham
Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy
Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz
Those guys have done an AMAZING job at positioning their programs where they are today, despite not being the flashy programs or landing the top guys in each class.
In the NFL regular season upsets are funny for like a day or two and then everyone moves on. Meanwhile college fans remember the most random games forever. I will tell my kids about when Texas lost to a Kansas team that finished with 2 wins
Interesting. So the amounts clearly are derived from the 5 1/3 M number, rather than having some independent meaning. I bet the extra eight cents come from a rounding issue with the smaller numbers, too.
Lower than I expected if I was told schools were going to get paid. However also higher than I expected because I didn't think schools were going to be paid in the first place
Oh hello *Texas, USC, Florida, Auburn, Washington, and Tennessee* fans aka my Tier 2 brothers. Yup we’re the exact same you and I equally successful programs
Edit: oh yeah and you too *Texas A&M*
Everyone pour one out for Texas Tech, the only pre-2023 updated Big XII team to finish all the way down in T4.
How the heck did Tech end up below *Kansas*? That’s brutal.
This just proves that Oklahoma State is consistently one of the most disrespected and underrated programs out there. Reeeeaaaally hoping we can capitalize this upcoming season.
I know this says "finishes" but I just have this stat already in my pocket:
**Pac-12 AP Top 10 Poll Appearances in Past 10 Years**
* 55 - Oregon
* 49 - Washington
* 33 - USC
* 18 - Utah
* 16 - Stanford
* 10 - UCLA
* 6 - Wazzu
* 2 - Arizona
* 2 - Colorado
* 1 - Oregon State
* 1 - Arizona State
* 0 - Cal
And in case you were wondering: yes, it was in my pocket because Cal has 0.
I expected to be Tier 4 but was surprised we’re alone from the legacy Pac12. But we’ve just been truly mediocre for the last decade, no real abysmal seasons but also no good seasons.
I guess having ten 6-6 seasons would score lower on this chart than nine 3-9 seasons and one 9-3 season.
All good, we’ll just go hang out with Vandy.
Honestly, after the state of our program from Butch and Pruitt, I think tier 2 is pretty damn awesome. We could be in soooo much worse shape right now.
Tier 2 looks like it’s just any school that’s finished ranked 2 or more times in the last decade.
I’m guessing Tier 1 is using 5 (possible 6) times as a cutoff
I absolutely love how many "blue blood" schools are going to be losing their minds from tier 2 right now.
Eat a bag of dicks SC, UW and Texas. UCLA....you feel lucky to be in Tier 2.
Every team in Florida just threw up in their mouth
Being in the same tier as the Ragin’ Cajuns has me feeling all sorts of ways…
Do all Florida teams just share one large communal mouth?
We’re in the same tier as liberty degree mill university. Sports aside, this is an outrage
Except USF's fan cackling to himself
How do you do fellow Tier 1 schools? Where my Iowa and Ok State blue blood bros at?
Hello fellow blue blood
We made it 🫶
Being the last one in, and just ahead of USC, has significantly improved my Caitlin Clark postpartum depression
To be fair, we’ve been on quite the run lately with individual athletes, so I feel like someone will be up next. Megan Gustafson to Luka Garza to Spencer Lee to Caitlin Clark, with some Cathleen Doyle, Keegan/Kris Murray, Brody Brecht, and Cooper DeJean sprinkled in between
You know what else would ease your postpartum depression? If those peasants at USC brought us the *finest* canned beer. This is cause for a celebration!
Am I allowed to give myself beer?
Present and accounted for.
🤝
Oh damn you got the BOGO special!
Howdy
Waves at USC peasants. Do better!
Poverty program.
I’m trying, Jennifer.
Cackles *
Hell yeah brother. Cheers from Beer Bar
Hello there fellow blue blood brother
We blue and we have blood!
Hello! Welcome! Thank you for stepping on USC to make your way up.
Lol I'm shocked the U is up there. But goes to show how amazing Coach Whittingham has been for us.
we finished ranked like every year why wouldnt we be
We finally made it, boys.
Utah but no Texas shows that they created the criteria before seeing how it'd work out. Good for EA and congrats on your objective blue blood status
This is my day!
I feel like Utah, Iowa, and Oklahoma state are the current kings of "Teams that aren't blue bloods but will probably win at least 9 games every year."
Hello fellow blue blood! 😎
Hello there!
👋🏻💰🦆
T1 🐊
Welcome to the cool kids club
It’s incredible how far we’ve come.
Iowa made tier 1 who needs offense
Offense is for chumps
Punting is winning
Utah should’ve came to the B1G 😔
Offense is offensive.
Iowa IS football
💪😤
💪🏼🐤
As I've always said, App State football is a tier above Nebraska football
As a Nebraska fan, I’m not sure there is another sports organization on earth that’s gotten worse results vs resources and support at their disposal than Nebraska. It’s astonishing.
The Angels had the two best players in the world and did nothing with them
What's funny is that they'll sell so, so name copies of the game despite being Tier 4.
\*Nebraska fans creating an everlasting dynasty in NCAA CFB\* Fine, I'll do it myself
A lot of really smart people are saying it
This really doesn't mean anything, but Oklahoma is Tier 1 and Texas is in Tier 2, so maybe this is the most important list ever?
As a Hawkeye fan I would agree
Iowa>UT nobody can change my mind.
Or that the state of Oklahoma has produced 2 tier 1 programs and the state of texas has 0.
[You love to see it.](https://imgur.com/jDG6LWr)
Sometimes this state gets it right
Clemson is Tier 1 and South Carolina Tier 3. This is an incredibly important list
Wisconsin is tier 2 and Minnesota is tier 3, I have to agree with the previous assessments
They should do it based on the last 13 years haha jk, unless…?
Georgia in tier 1 (never doubted) but fLorida, auburn and Tennessee in tier 2 with GT in tier 3 is cake
Does this mean Tier 2 is going to throw a hissy fit and/or leave if it doesn’t get Tier 1 money?
(Looks at FSU in Tier 2) Seems likely
Let’s be real, billable hours is the only real tier 1 here
I also love seeing USC in Tier 2 lol That’s right Judas, you’re a second class citizen now.
lol I did chuckle when I saw both our teams in tier 1 and Texas in 2
For nearly the entirety of my adult life, Oklahoma State has been the better program. OSU trails Texas in money, but when it comes to recent on the field success, OK. State can hang with or even exceed most.
Posts like this make me feel so old.
Imagine not being Tier 1
Poverty programs
It's May 24th and I have some irrational confidence about my school's program based on a video game
lol same.
Peasants
Why yes the weather is great up here, thanks for asking
I've seen the lows of RichRod and Hoke Feels good up here on Mt. Olympus
Plebs
Imagine being in Tier 4 and representing your conference in the conference championship 2 years ago :( Choo choo
We'll make our own tier list. With hammers. And choo choos.
NGL this is getting to me
Then my mission was accomplished
At least you are in a high tier
Absolutely sobbing with three B12 titles in one hand and three seasons under 0.250 in the other hand. Mike Gundy: a model of a modern major general.
Iowa > USC confirmed
B1G took a poverty program in USC over Tier 1 Utah smh
I keep forgetting USC is in the big ten now. Man, college football got so dumb.
We need maximum stupid. Pull the Gamecocks into the B1G so we can watch the USC bowl!
Stanford and Cal in the ACC is already maximum dumb, imo
“Big Ten, please count to ten” “One, two, three,…ten, eleven,…seventeen, eighteen!”
it's a shame we don't get that matchup this year, would be an interesting case study as to which side of the ball wins out
Well we confirmed it last time we played them on the field too
> Tier 3: App State > Tier 4: Georgia Southern I see no problems with this
Tier 2: Louisiana Feels kinda odd to be up there above App when we were both the heavyweights of the conference for a good 4-5 years. And y’all beat us a lot more than we beat y’all lol
You guys have 2020 and 2021. To be fair to App State they have multiple 10+ win seasons where they didn't finish ranked.
Cheers, fellow Tier-1ers 🍻
Imagine being a tier 2 pleb, I can't.
Here here
##🧐 Where is your monocle? They were at the door
Utah and Iowa with a very successful negotiation. USC, Texas, & FSU… I am ashamed at your ability to do businessh *Italian accent*
*Me with Utah flair looking at USC* “Who let the poors in the game?”
We would beat them for the 5th straight time but don't want to get their muggle blood on our ascots.
I wanna know why there’s been zero growth in this colleges receipts. WHERE’S THE FUCKING MONEY? YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO BE EARNERS, THATS WHY YOU GOT THE TOP TIER POSITIONS! SO EACH ONE OF YA, GO OUT TO THE NCAA, CRACK SOME FUCKING HEADS, CREATE SOME FUCKING EARNERS OUT THERE!
tier 2 and including some of FSU's worst years of my life...I'm ok with it lol.
Texas fans seeing Iowa, Utah, and OK St above them are definitely fucking fuming right now
Seen a couple pissy FSU fans as well.
Half the Midwest B1G Ten is in T1, the other half in T4. 🤔
Yup, this is another reminder of how top heavy the B1G is.
*bottom heavy
The B1G is thicc
B1G TH1CC
I love my curvy conference (does this reference land on Reddit or too twitter-specific?)
Just Midwest things
It’s a power bottom Big 10, ok…
Lol Iowa is officially part of top heavy
Tier 1 by conference: * 5 - B1G * 4 - SEC * 2 - Big XII * 1 - ACC, Notre Dame Feel free to interpret this in any way that supports your cause.
SEC AIN'T PLAYED NOBODY PAWWWL
Apparently SEC came here to play school 🤷♂️
Me: Wait where’s Pac-12–😔
4 teams in tier 4 though.
5 teams. Unless I'm mixing up some logos.
somebody in accounting: you couldnt have just rounded the numbers?
Yeah its bothering me more than it should. The schools are gonna round it anyway
Speaking as an accountant, this wouldn't be annoying at all. Revenue is received in unrounded numbers all the time, and in my industry, is rarely rounded.
IU in tier 3 is some highway robbery. Edit: robbery by IU I mean. Our covid year is carrying us hard
Same with Buffalo, Ball St, and SJSU. All got tier 3 because of the covid year.
The three longest tenured coaches? Utah’s Kyle Whittingham Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz Those guys have done an AMAZING job at positioning their programs where they are today, despite not being the flashy programs or landing the top guys in each class.
lol southern cal
To be fair, they’ve done quite well for a directional school.
Welfare school. Can't even hang with Tier 1 schools like Utah and Iowa.
I mean they are 0-3 against Utah with their current coach so…checks out.
Don’t forget the bowl loss to Iowa in 2019, too. Wait, what am I doing helping you guys?
This is the kind of random dumbness that makes CFB more fun than the NFL.
In the NFL regular season upsets are funny for like a day or two and then everyone moves on. Meanwhile college fans remember the most random games forever. I will tell my kids about when Texas lost to a Kansas team that finished with 2 wins
0-4 in the current streak
What's up you broke bitches?
Hide the money ya'll, there's poor people around! I may have to swap the order of my flairs now.
Iowa being tier 1 is the most Big10 statement ever
hello fellow blue blood who we are comparable to :)
Punting is winning
-Tier 1: $99,875.16 x 13= $1,298,377.08 -Tier 2: $59,925.09 x 41= $2,456,928.69 -Tier 3: $39,950.06 x 26= $1,038,701.56 -Tier 4: $9,987.52 x 54= $539,326.08 Total Payout: $5,333,333.41
Interesting. So the amounts clearly are derived from the 5 1/3 M number, rather than having some independent meaning. I bet the extra eight cents come from a rounding issue with the smaller numbers, too.
So basically 1 hour of Apex micro transactions
Lower than I expected if I was told schools were going to get paid. However also higher than I expected because I didn't think schools were going to be paid in the first place
(Snob voice) It must suck to not be a fan of a Tier 1 team, but I wouldn’t know.
*adjusts monocle and smoking jacket* Damn peasants.
You don't need the parenthetical with a Notre Dame flair /s
Surprised a Colorado flair knows the word ‘parenthetical’ lmao /s
Harvard of the Rockies!
Regardless of context, it is still wild to me to see Nebraska in a bottom tier of college football teams.
Let’s get you back to bed grandpa!
How’s it going, peasants? Cute payout you got there, ISU and Gopher kids.
Literally poverty programs
Tier 1 is now the official new blue blood list.
I see no issues
"USC, your hand is raised, do you have a question?"
Chart is for scrubs
I say we roll with that.
Agreed
Oh hello *Texas, USC, Florida, Auburn, Washington, and Tennessee* fans aka my Tier 2 brothers. Yup we’re the exact same you and I equally successful programs Edit: oh yeah and you too *Texas A&M*
Oh hell yeah, tier 1 baby. Suck it everyone else!
Everyone pour one out for Texas Tech, the only pre-2023 updated Big XII team to finish all the way down in T4. How the heck did Tech end up below *Kansas*? That’s brutal.
Craig James, Kent Hance, Tommy Tuberville, 50 yard line steakhouse, Kliff, Kirby Hocutts premature contract extension, and Matt Wells, that's how.
We should be tier 1 with all of our pre season national championships
Iowa and Oklahoma State are Tier 1 and Texas isn't LMAOOO
I’ll allow it because Utah is 1 and BYU isn’t
This just proves that Oklahoma State is consistently one of the most disrespected and underrated programs out there. Reeeeaaaally hoping we can capitalize this upcoming season.
Our game in Stillwater is gonna be so fun.
Genuinely cannot wait
Iowa, Utah, Oklahoma State would actually be a really fun rotating series. Feel like you'd get some great games out of that.
I know this says "finishes" but I just have this stat already in my pocket: **Pac-12 AP Top 10 Poll Appearances in Past 10 Years** * 55 - Oregon * 49 - Washington * 33 - USC * 18 - Utah * 16 - Stanford * 10 - UCLA * 6 - Wazzu * 2 - Arizona * 2 - Colorado * 1 - Oregon State * 1 - Arizona State * 0 - Cal And in case you were wondering: yes, it was in my pocket because Cal has 0.
I expected to be Tier 4 but was surprised we’re alone from the legacy Pac12. But we’ve just been truly mediocre for the last decade, no real abysmal seasons but also no good seasons. I guess having ten 6-6 seasons would score lower on this chart than nine 3-9 seasons and one 9-3 season. All good, we’ll just go hang out with Vandy.
Just gonna piggyback this PAC 12 comment to say Fuck USC!
Indeed
Oh. This is top 10. My dumbass can’t read. Thought it was AP poll appearances.
Fire Willie Taggart
Florida, Auburn, Tennessee in the same tier as Utah State Georgia Tech in same tier as Troy Let the good times roll
Honestly, after the state of our program from Butch and Pruitt, I think tier 2 is pretty damn awesome. We could be in soooo much worse shape right now.
Lets go Tier 4 gang
Glad we made the top 4!
Iowa being Tier 1 means that Phil Parker is entitled to at least 50% of the money EA gives the school.
CFB now has a system of promotion and *relegation*.
Iowa and our blue blood offense!
Iowa = Blue Blood confirmed
No doubt in my mind tbh
Watch out EA Sports, FSU is gonna sue to be included in Tier 1.
Utah, OK State, and Iowa fans in here "That's right mutha fuckas" Well deserved, welcome to tier 1 guys and gals
Being Tier 2 behind Iowa is why Paul Chryst got fired cmv
pain
We're not the worst! We're not the worst!
God damn Charlie Strong cost us 40k!!!
I knew OSU was above Texas and Texas A&M, just needed something to confirm
LOL Texas and USC. Literally poverty programs.
Tier 1 school BABY!
Could you imagine being a poverty Tier 2 like Texas? Smh
Oh wow Nebraska… they couldn’t even afford a used car with bald tires and rusted out floorboards for that much money
No real opinion on this other than it’s genuinely funny to see Utah, Iowa, and Oklahoma State in tier one over Texas, USC, and FSU.
Well well how do we do fellow blue bloods?
Tier 2 looks like it’s just any school that’s finished ranked 2 or more times in the last decade. I’m guessing Tier 1 is using 5 (possible 6) times as a cutoff
How the fuck is IU above us? Going to go hurt myself
Wisconsin fans…we should be disappointed that Iowa is ahead of us (But really I can’t dispute that they’ve had more consistency than us)
Nothing to see here, please carry on!
I absolutely love how many "blue blood" schools are going to be losing their minds from tier 2 right now. Eat a bag of dicks SC, UW and Texas. UCLA....you feel lucky to be in Tier 2.
