6 ranked vs ranked games this week and FSU/Clemson as well.



Paywall but for the comments in the tweet.



From the article:

In fact, the NCAA says average FBS game length has decreased from 3:22 to 3:16 through Week 3. But The Athletic loves a good conspiracy theory. So we decided to investigate whether there really are more commercials in 2023 college football broadcasts.

Jim Minnich, a senior VP at Disney who oversees ad sales for all sports properties on ABC/ESPN’s networks. We asked him point-blank: Have college football’s new clock rules allowed you to insert more commercials?

“The easy answer is no, they have not changed,” he said. “They’re consistent year over year. That’s the simplest and easier answer.”

It turns out, the matter of how many ads a network can run during a game is determined well ahead of time, is extremely precise, is consistent throughout the season and is dictated by the conference administering the game.

The Athletic obtained documents outlining commercial formats for all SEC and Big 12 games and certain Big Ten games. They vary slightly from conference to conference, and even between each conference’s network partner, but they look fairly similar. They’re either “3-4-3-4” — three breaks in the first and third quarters, four in the second and fourth quarters — or “4-4-4-4,” plus breaks at the end of the first and third quarters.

So it’s always been this way. But the new clock rules, aimed at shortening the overall game times, have put the commercial breaks in more focus. Plays in the game have been cut down, but commercial breaks have not gone up — though it may seem that way.

“Here’s what I would say to those who say, ‘All you’ve done is put more commercials in the game,’” said Steve Shaw, the NCAA’s national coordinator of officials. “We see that six plays are out, and six minutes are coming off. To me, that’s an indicator that nobody is throwing in extra commercials, and we’re not adding extra time.”

 

[WhiteBus]

Finally a great lineup! And much needed for those of us in the Northeast as Saturday looks like a complete washout all day long.

[rutgersguy1]

Dillingham channeling his inner Herm (former ASU HC before him)

 

[Extra Point]

B1G game coming on now. Wisconsin vs Purdue.

 

[Extra Point]

What a great name. Tanner Mordecai. Sounds like an action character in a Matrix movie.

 

[Knight Shift]

Wisconsin up 7-0.

Hudson Card scrambles with the dexterity of a lizard, but both called back for holding

 

[Knight Shift]

Purdue's defense is shit.

 

[Knight Shift]

14-0 Wisconsin

 

[ClassOf02]

Ridiculously short fields both for Wisconsin’s drives. Purdue looks really bad this year.

 

[koleszar]

Wisconsin going back to mainly being a running team. Adios air raid.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Wisconsin going back to mainly being a running team. Adios air raid.

Well I've said Air Raid doesn't mean throw it all the time. Many of these Briles/Leach guys have strong running teams. Longo has had 1000 yd rushers as OC in his career and one year at UNC he had 2 1000 yd rushers in the same season.

 

[colbert17]

Wisconsin is 8 for 8 on 3rd down.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Don’t think that was PI, too bad for Purdue. 21-3 Wisc

 

[Knight Shift]

7-7 tie in NC State UVa

 

[rutgersguy1]

Man Allen is big and Purdue can’t tackle lol

 

[Knight Shift]

Man Allen is big and Purdue can’t tackle lol

Purdues's head coach looks game ready. Guy is jacked. Does he have any eligibility left?

 

[rutgersguy1]

That was a win for Purdue to hold them to a FG. Even though they had trouble tackling Allen, stopping him short of the TD was good enough.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Nice drive for Purdue, 24-10 Wisc

 

[Knight Shift]

The crap tackling is contagious. Now Wisconsin sucks.

 

[Knight Shift]

27-17 after Purdue TD

 

[koleszar]

You can definitely run on this Wisconsin defense.

 

[rutgersguy1]

Trading INTs and Purdue is back in it lol.

 

[koleszar]

Wow that was a hell of a highway robbery by the Purdue DB. Ripped it right out of his hands.

 

[rutgersguy1]

That would be big loss for Wisconsin…looks like a bad injury too.

 

[rutgersguy1]

I think that was a forward pass but not sure if they have enough to overturn.

Purdue player needed to just keep playing until he heard the whistle.

 

[rutgersguy1]

That’s it for Purdue. Allen is too big. 38-17 on the two point conversion with a little razzle dazzle

 

[RutgersNo1]

Who's gonna take care of Allen when we play them?

 

[koleszar]

Who's gonna take care of Allen when we play them?

LB - 6'5"/245 Tyreem Powell

 

[koleszar]

Go Virginia! 1st and goal. Down 8

 

[koleszar]

MY GOD! Is #51 an idiot.

 

[koleszar]

VIRGINIA!

 

[rutgersguy1]

NC State might have a chance for a FG after that return

 

[koleszar]

Oh NO! I've never seen such back to back dead ball boneheaded plays resulting in 30 yds. of penalties.

 

[Joey Bags]

the UVA QB is a real smoothbrain

 

[rutgersguy1]

Oh man 15yd penalty for leaping on UVA…rekick

It’s good…NC St wins…tough way to lose with the penalties

 

[Joey Bags]

UVA is the dumbest team i’ve ever seen holy shit
