krindorr Intervention Needed

Like I said, not amazing or elite, but solid, not the low end either

There's a lot of programs who would be very happy to always get 1.3M or better (and much better against higher profile programs).

Alabama and Ohio St obviously wouldn't be happy with that level of viewership.... but nobody is confusing Utah with those schools either

Finally chiming in on TV ratings. Kudos to Krindorr for gathering..

Solid assessment

krindorr

12/2/23 2:04am

Agree that BYU being a top showing IS NOT GOOD for the conference

kiyoshige

Honestly, there's no competing with the B1G/SEC with viewership at this point...

Over half of TCU's number was the CU game, correct?

Corn Pop

Not over half, but about 43%

It blows me away that BYU was that close to Utah

We had a game on ESPN+. As in 1. They had, what, 4 or 5 on the P12 network?

Corn Pop

12/2/23 6:22am

Which speaks to how the networks view Utes' TV draw on their own. They don't put

BamaCoug

12/2/23 8:20am

Yup, Utah was consistently around the middle of the PAC in PAC12 Network appearances

krindorr

12/2/23 8:44am

BYU had 11 games on Fox or ESPN/ABC platforms; Utah had 7.

I don't see that as Utah having "superior" viewership though. It's more a factor

BamaCoug

12/2/23 8:35am

100% - this is a factor that people don't seem to understand

krindorr

12/2/23 8:49am

PAC 12 network did that for them. Ha-ha.

coolblue

12/2/23 7:04am

Yep. USC/UW/Oregon weren't on Pac12N much, but Utes were on it a lot. Why?...

BamaCoug

12/2/23 8:40am

The main driver for viewings is brand. BYU will never be real high nor real low

coolblue

Utah does not have a better brand than BYU…

We’ll see how Utah draws without Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA on schedule.

This is my worry, actually. I can be realistic - Utah is an ok draw but not a

Absolutely right. The B12 and ACC are fighting for their lives with every game

Not really…. It’s fact.

LOL…. You can thank Florida, Colorado, USC, Oregon, and Washington for that.

The worst Utah drew in any game was 1.3M; no need to bury our heads in the sand and pretend nobody watches

Ohhhhh, 1.3? Move over Alabama!!!

By conference affiliation I’d say they are pretty much equal.

True but my expectations were higher. BYU played a lot of network games.

Will be interesting to see how the numbers for the BB team if they stay ranked.
