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

after 9pm ET that had that many viewers. Looking through the list from last year in the late slot and just about every game that had more viewers involved either Colorado or USC.

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

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

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

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

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
