PAC 12 Football; It Just Means Less...

UCLA versus Oklahoma should have been a near full house for a great football game last night. Talking heads want to complain or explain how/why the PAC 12 can't get a CFP spot year after year. Maybe because their product is sub par and their fan support is pathetic at best. When you bring an "announced crowd" of 52k to a stadium that holds around 91k with a top 5 team coming to town then you don't deserve to be in the conversation in my opinion. In fact for the entire Pac 12 in 2018, the average attendance was only around 46k and decreased from the year before, see links. Agree or disagree?

This is the same problem that Miami is having. With a stadium 60-90 minutes from campus there is no student support for these games.

And students turn into alumni... and a few turn into donors: downward spiral.

They cared enough to shoot somebody in the parking lot after the game.

A couple of things....
UCLA has been terrible for a while now. That they got as many to go to a guaranteed blowout is amazing.
Stanford...despite how well that program has done, they never fill that stadium. No one in the Bay Area gives a rat's ### about CFB - same for Cal. They're sort of the BC of the PAC-12
Once you go past UCLA & USC stadiums - only Husky Stadium would be considered a "big" venue. I believe they top out near 70k capacity.
The rest of the PAC-12 (UofA/ASU/Oregon/OSU/Utah/Colorado/Stanford/Cal/WSU) generally are 35-50k capacity. Wash State being the smallest at 35k. Trust me, I have been to 3 WSU games and it REALLY is in the middle of nowhere (great venue though).
Sorry...Pullman, Corvallis, Berkeley, and Westwood just aren't Clemson, Auburn, Austin, or hell, even Columbia(s). They never will be.

You would think the pundits could figure that out though.***

The committee is not going to give two flips about attendance. If Utah is 13-0 or Oregon is 12-1... they're not going to care if UCLA attracted 52,000 to a game.
