30 Most Dominant College Sports Programs..

Not the College Directors Cup ..but some other list and criteria.

1. Univ of Fla
2. Univ of Texas
4. Ohio State
15. Notre Dame
16. Michigan
22. Tenn
24. UCLA
26. A&M


Those are the Skybox Teams on the list.

There is a huge gulf between the 3 year avg sports revenue between the Univ of Texas and the rest of the world of college athletics. Texas 168M next biggest number is Alabama at 148M. Make me wonder how we're spending our money. Our brothers over in College Station are at 92M.

Terry, well at least you mentioned Alabama. :?

 

We all know the inevitable is coming....UF is rated #1, Daves rose colored glasses just got re-tinted in 1080p...

 

I can't believe I left off Alabama, they were #3. Initially I left off A&M as well.

 

Not a surprising result to me as all of our sports programs seem to compete extremely well. Makes it more fun year round to be a Gator fan but everyone knows we're just a football school..... :wink:

Phil Steele has us at number 9 in football in his latest CFB preseason rankings.

I like that guy. 8)

 

They are easily forgettable! :lol:

 

Gators have a very balanced overall sports program and I have fallen in love with our ladies softball program.

I am however looking forward to the day we can compete with Bama in football again.

 

Bill, I too am proud of the Alabama softball team. I have come to enjoy their tenacity and scrappiness. Our gymnastics team has also done well, but our sports world is primarily centered around football. That's just a fact of life. 8)

 

Like the rest of you guys I like it when the other sports teams at my school do well, but football is what stirs my drink.

 

I've never seen an argument over softball.

 

AJ, I rest my case. 8)

 

As of now, here are the most expensive regular season games of 2017, using the cheapest ticket currently available on StubHub. This is just the cost to get in the door.

1. Georgia at Notre Dame (Sept. 9) - $499

Two historic programs meeting for the second time ever. The 1980 Georgia team beat Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl and won the national title. In a time where so many big non-conference matchups are in neutral sites, it’s awesome to see a unique home-and-home series.

2. Alabama vs. Florida State in Atlanta (Sept. 2) - $422

Speaking of neutral sites, Alabama’s annual non-conference heavyweight fight is perhaps its biggest one ever. These teams could both be in the top 3, and the winner is likely your No. 1 after Week 1. The biggest key: How will Alabama’s rebuilt front seven do against Florida State’s questionable offensive line?

3. Oklahoma at Ohio State (Sept. 9) - $347

A rematch of last year’s Buckeye win in Norman, Lincoln Riley heads to Columbus for his second game as a head coach. All three College Football Playoffs have featured one of these teams.

4. Ohio State at Michigan (Nov. 25) - $295

Perhaps this one won’t come down to a 4th down spot.

5. Penn State at Ohio State (Oct. 28) - $285

The Nittany Lions’ returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown and turned that momentum into a Big Ten championship last year. This game could determined the Big Ten East.

6. Michigan State at Ohio State (Nov. 11) - $237

The Buckeyes yet again. Even the MSU game is a high price, showing just how high the excitement is in Columbus.

7. Alabama at Auburn (Nov. 25) - $222

Does QB Jarrett Sitdham make Auburn a legit SEC West contender this year? This game could have the division on the line.

8. Oklahoma vs. Texas in Dallas (Oct.14) - $218

Both Lincoln Riley and Tom Herman know what it’s like to coach in this game, but this will be their first as head coaches. Which is under more pressure? This rivalry has already been ratcheted up a notch this offseason in recruiting and subtweets.

9. LSU at Alabama (Nov. 4) - $210

This game was 0-0 into the fourth quarter last year, but Alabama has won six straight in the series. Ed Orgeron says Alabama is the standard, and the Tigers haven’t measured up.

10. USC at Notre Dame (Oct. 21) - $210

A national champion pick by some, if the Trojans are undefeated heading into this one, get ready for College Gameday.

Michigan State at Michigan (Oct. 7) - $207

Auburn at Clemson (Sept. 9) - $200

Clemson at Virginia Tech (Sept. 30) - $178

Florida State at Clemson (Nov. 11) - $171

Clemson at South Carolina (Nov. 25) - $171

Miami at Florida State (Sept. 16) - $163

Tennessee at Alabama (Oct. 21) - $155

Ohio State at Nebraska (Oct. 14) - $150

Clemson at NC State (Nov. 4) - $150

Pitt at Penn State (Sept. 9) - $147

 

I got tickets to the LSU game but I got them at face value ($125) in the nosebleeds through.
