Years. So their fan bases overlap in a variety of ways and are probably literally related.

BYU gets 1.5M viewers in the middle of the nignt

Not a high bar to clear for FS1 at 10am

threezeroeight

Sep 25, 6:54am

Looks like FS1 in general sucks for viewership.

kaladin58

Sep 25, 7:01am

SicEm 365 had a great breakdown of channel/time slot and avg. viewership

Baylorbears11

Sep 25, 9:34am

Yeah, shocked that even CW games averaged higher than FS1

Coug-Ida

Sep 25, 12:01pm

CW is just more widely accessible. That's half the battle sometimes

krindorr

Sep 25, 12:33pm

Hate how he says MI USC tops- look at channel and time. Granted they would do

6M for a football game is crazy good.

RGGeemer

I’m not saying it’s not.

I've started to come around on networks/timeslots being indicative of drawing power instead of the other way around

krindorr

Pretty crazy we pulled in almost as many eyeballs as Notre Dame.

byujacob

Sep 25, 6:56am

FS1 numbers are not good. The time slot we play Baylor in got 195K last week.

fbguru

Sep 25, 6:58am

But BYU wasn't playing in it.

LSUcougar92

Sep 25, 7:03am

None of the FS1 numbers were good.

fbguru

Sep 25, 7:27am

Colorado still pulling big numbers.

Tokolosh

Sep 25, 6:59am

Entertainment value. Even when they aren't great, its still Prime Time

LSUcougar92

Sep 25, 7:04am

That’s what I still find crazy. Last year there was the allure of maybe they could be decent.

Virginia Ute

Sep 25, 8:04am

It would be good for the Big12 for Colorado to return to their 1990s glory.

OrsoNero

Sep 25, 8:09am

But maybe only let them have 4 downs.

Tokolosh

Sep 25, 8:25am

If he leaves will they still get viewers? I am thinking not

SoBlueitHurts

Sep 25, 2:06pm

Shaduer is really good and Travis Hunter is absolutely amazing. Then of course

palangi

Sep 25, 8:11am

Colorado is fun to watch

reddead

Sep 25, 8:42am

What do you mean not in the same stratosphere in talent? They absolutely are

palangi

Sep 25, 9:32am

Maybe Hunter is; IMO the others are not

reddead

Sep 25, 9:47am

Bush was electric no doubt. Hunter is more talented than Bush

palangi

Sep 25, 10:36am

We talk a lot of tv number smack. Let’s see. Utah has the late night time slot

Yukon

Sep 25, 7:00am

Part of it also depends on the game. Had byus game. People go to bed

cougarfann888

Sep 25, 7:01am

This also doesn’t account for households with more than one TV 😉

D.T. Survivor

Sep 25, 9:20am

Not sure if apples to apples - 1. Utah and AZ both have far larger alumni bases

oxcoug

Sep 25, 7:05am

I'd add 3. Utah and Arizona have a regional rivalry that goes back a hundred

oxcoug

Sep 25, 7:08am

All true. But Arizona doesn’t have fans.

Yukon

Sep 25, 7:09am

I'd guess they'll be right about the same

RGGeemer

Sep 25, 7:17am

I'm guessing Utah will be notably lower - actually VERY confident that it will be much lower

krindorr

Sep 25, 10:22am

2 might still outrank 3. AZ is a basketball school fresh off getting drubbed.

SoBlueitHurts

Sep 25, 2:07pm

Crazy how many fans think that just because the time slot BYU will play in was

LSUcougar92

Sep 25, 7:08am

Who said same number of viewers? BYU will have more, but I'd be shocked if they

fbguru

Sep 25, 7:30am

The highest number of viewers for a noon game on FS1 last year was 900K. Average

thewaterboy

Sep 25, 8:10am

I would put us somewhere in the 700,000s

LSUcougar92

Sep 25, 8:24am

700k would be incredible. I am expecting closer to 500k myself (see below).

cougarfan84

Sep 25, 8:25am

Right. Based on channel alone, 500k viewers would be an excellent rating.

cougarfan84

Sep 25, 8:24am

Will be interesting to see how we do on Sat. Not on a main station

Dallas/Ft. Worth must not be a college football town. TCU & SMU playing and it

RE: Dallas/Ft. Worth must not be a college football town. TCU & SMU playing

RGGeemer

Sep 25, 8:05am

I'm guessing if you polled TX CFB fans, the vast majority would pick UT or A&M.

OrsoNero

Sep 25, 8:10am

UNT might even poll higher than TCU and SMU in some pockets.

Tokolosh

Sep 25, 8:30am

That's not true. UNT is commuter school without an actual fanbase.

Baylorbears11

Sep 25, 9:36am

Baylorbears11 is correct, UNT has no sports following.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Sep 25, 11:15am

Fellas, I’m going to have to disagree with you. UNT certainly isn’t a big draw but there are some spots…

Tokolosh

Sep 25, 11:29am

I lived in Frisco for several years... you're wrong. But Tokolosh being wrong is nothing new on this board 🙂

Atmospheric_Cougar

Sep 25, 12:17pm

I mean there's definitely some pockets where UNT polls higher...like on the UNT campus

krindorr

Sep 25, 12:32pm

I think TWU polls higher on UNT's campus....

Atmospheric_Cougar

Sep 25, 2:01pm

Frisco is 45 minutes from Fort Worth. More of a Dallas burb than Fort Worth burb.

Tokolosh

Sep 25, 2:06pm

My wife attended TWU... We were in Denton plenty. But thanks for providing the commute time to Frisco.

Atmospheric_Cougar

Sep 25, 3:05pm

I live in DFW. It’s huge for CFB. But nobody cares about TCU or SMU. I probably see 30x more Texas and A&M gear and

yapacoug

Sep 25, 8:45am

This matches my experience while living in Dallas (within 2 miles of SMU)

reddead

Sep 25, 8:58am

TCU is the "Fort Worth" school, so they get more support out that direction.

Baylorbears11

Sep 25, 9:39am

Yeah, that's fair. But I spent a fair amount of time across the metroplex and

reddead

Sep 25, 9:51am

What was surprising was how BYU-KSU almost beat the Notre Dame game which had a much better time slot.

Adrielle

Sep 25, 9:34am

ND played a bad team, so not an intriguing match up. Their time slot competed with much better games.

Cougstreak

Sep 25, 2:15pm

Utah/OSU with 2.14M was surprisingly good.

Parker Schnabel

Sep 25, 11:09am

Top 15 matchup on a good network. That’ll bring in solid numbers.

Tokolosh

Sep 25, 11:15am

Yeah, solid numbers at the same time as a really close Michigan/USC game.

Virginia Ute

Sep 25, 11:32am

Network tv v cable. Good time slot. Too 15 matchup and close

cougarfann888

Sep 25, 11:21am

Is that good or bad? I have no clue

boctabulous

Sep 25, 12:47pm

Good for a late night game. I don't see any other game this year that kicked off

thewaterboy

Thanks for the response. Good to know
