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

You don't see them as much in Dallas proper. They are still outnumbered in Fort Worth by other state schools, but that is their main base.

BYU gets 1.5M viewers in the middle of the nignt

Indy Coug Loquacious Lummox

Not a high bar to clear for FS1 at 10am

threezeroeight

6:54am

Looks like FS1 in general sucks for viewership.

kaladin58

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

Baylorbears11

9:34am

Yeah, shocked that even CW games averaged higher than FS1

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

SBB

6M for a football game is crazy good.

RGGeemer

I’m not saying it’s not.

SBB

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

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

byujacob

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

fbguru

6:58am

But BYU wasn't playing in it.

LSUcougar92

7:03am

None of the FS1 numbers were good.

fbguru

7:27am

Colorado still pulling big numbers.

Tokolosh

6:59am

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

LSUcougar92

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

8:09am

But maybe only let them have 4 downs.

Tokolosh

8:25am

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

palangi

8:11am

Colorado is fun to watch

reddead

8:42am

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

palangi

9:32am

Maybe Hunter is; IMO the others are not

reddead

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

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

Yukon

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

cougarfann888

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

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

RGGeemer

7:17am

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

krindorr

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

LSUcougar92

7:08am

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

fbguru

7:30am

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

thewaterboy

8:10am

I would put us somewhere in the 700,000s

LSUcougar92

8:24am

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

cougarfan84

8:25am

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

cougarfan84

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

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

OrsoNero

8:10am

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

Tokolosh

8:30am

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

Baylorbears11

9:36am

Baylorbears11 is correct, UNT has no sports following.

Atmospheric_Cougar

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

11:29am

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

Atmospheric_Cougar

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

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

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

Baylorbears11

9:39am

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

reddead

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

Adrielle

9:34am

Utah/OSU with 2.14M was surprisingly good.

Parker Schnabel

11:09am

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

Tokolosh

11:15am

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

Virginia Ute

11:32am

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