I'm flummoxed that the intriguing matchup of UGA with the powerhouse Austin Peay
didn't draw more viewers.

Not bad for a 10:45 start.

Just think what an earlier start would have drawn.

Less. Because people would have been watching other games.

Late night games with less competition, and Primtime in the west coast. Lots of bars are tuning in.

Does Nielsen measure viewership at bars?

Nielsen at least in part takes numbers using a pager like system and recording samples of what pop watches

Does each bar only count as one?

I learned from Anchorman that households with more than one tv only count as one

I was thinking 800K. 1.3M shows that BYU can still attract eyeballs

They were watching a Heisman Trophy candidate too.

That was a national broadcast on NBC, it wasn't cable. And yes almost 5 times the viewers.

For the east coast it's awful. A 7pm (Eastern) start would be great though

I think separating cable from OTA in ratings comparisons is the norm.
