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

12/2/23 6:03am

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

BamaCoug

12/2/23 8:23am

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

Corn Pop

12/2/23 5:58am

Not over half, but about 43%

krindorr

12/2/23 6:07am

It blows me away that BYU was that close to Utah

cougforever

12/2/23 6:17am

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.

Everyman

12/2/23 6:35am

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

12/2/23 7:04am

Utah does not have a better brand than BYU…

That is your opinion. However by measurable metrics i.e. tv viewership, merch

I'd say they're pretty close albeit in different ways

But here's the real unpopular opinion

krindorr

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

NorCal_Coug

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

Sure, agreed - the gulf is already there. But I'm worried that even if we can

Ya, good point. I've wondered something similar, but then wonder if the B12 and

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

Guys… the dye was cast on this when Texas/OU left and 4 best PAC brands left…

BamaCoug

Not really…. It’s fact.

Krindorr gets it, you do not. His points are well thought out using reason and

Utefaninenemyland

12/2/23 8:29am

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

NorCal_Coug

12/2/23 8:36am

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

krindorr

12/2/23 8:48am

Ohhhhh, 1.3? Move over Alabama!!!

NorCal_Coug

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

I spent most of my life there as well. Still get asked if Utah is in the WAC.

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

Take out the Oklahoma and Texas game and byu was horrible this year. That sucks

Yet still better viewership than nearly everyone else remaining in the Big12…

BamaCoug

12/2/23 10:07am

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.
