Top College Football Blogs?
I was reading in my HTTV 2009 last night (much to the dismay of my girlfriend) and I saw that MGoBlog was the top college football blog in terms of hits. Does anyone have a link to the statistics showing this? Not that I don't believe it, I'm actually not surprised, but I'd like to see how far ahead we are, and what other sites are near the top with us. I tried to google it, but I couldn't find what I was looking for. Any help would be appreciated.

due to my obsession with the refresh command.

Page views and hits are separate stats.

Brian's count is kept at the bottom of every page:

Here's EDSBS, which I assume is #2, but I don't know for sure.

EDIT: I should note that you should look at the average per day totals instead of just TOTAL as Brian has switched sites more recently. Once EDSBS moves to SBNation, his total figuratively starts over as well.

at wednesday's presentation, brian said he averages 60,000 hits on weekdays.

Came across this random site that shows "mgoblog" ranked #2, not too sure on the creditability of this site or the others it's ranked against.

It's a guess, but a solid one. But you can see public stats on this blog here:

Orson's are here, and I'm pretty sure he's #2:

That's about 25%.
I don't have DocSat numbers, and can't think of anyone else who'd be close. The best SBN blogs IME are BON

and RTT

...and they're way off.
BGS used to be the biggest because of ND Nation but Quantcast estimates they're well behind now:

and found this:

http://www.cubestat.com/www.spartantailgate.com
Don't know how accurate these stats are though.

Though I bet Spartan Tailgate does more traffic than I do, those are way off. Also I don't consider them a blog, they're a message board with an infrequently-updated blog attached. The blog is not the attraction. Same for Buckeye Planet.

you think SpartanTailgate does more traffic than you? Does this mean they're dominating in-state blogging too? Wait what? What do you mean it's more about quality than quantity!?

What happened on July 21/22 to spike Spartan Tailgate' "Reach" so high? Also, what in the crap is "reach?"
They have a bump in pageviews at the same time but not nearly as dramatic.

On the 21st Ringer signed with the Titans. That might be it.

They get extra page hits credited everytime someone says "BRAH!"
But seriously folks, we should just stop talking about this. Lord knows "Sparty college blog dominance" will be a piece in the Freep this weekend....

still (sometimes) responds to my emails.
How does he do it boys?
Volume!
August 21st, 2009 at 10:25 PM ^
I had no idea this blog received so many page views. I'm curious how this volume correlates with the success of the team. If RR starts to annually contend for national titles, will the page views experience a significant increase?

of hits on the MGoBlog "Make a Donation" button.
Hit that button, enter in 1,000,000 where it says "amount" and then your credit card number, and we are certain to win the NC.
Trust me.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:35 PM ^
With my credit, they will just assume the card was stolen :)

Who is the top 5 blogs of all time?
MGoBlog, MGoBlog, MGoBlog, MGoBlog, and MGoBlog. Brian spits hot fire!!
