... in less than 24 hours, above 2 other CFP games and all other bowls so far this year. Will probably end up being the most viewed game before the quarter-finals of the CFP (yes, we can thank the CU/Prime/Hunter hype for most of that, but so glad that BYU performed so well on the biggest stage potentially in their history... link to video below... share it around)

Personally I don't think there's any way the Alamo Bowl get's over 10M viewers... largely because of the way they do ratings with average viewers through the whole game. Being a blowout that way usually dings viewership. Plus all those CFP games were on multiple TV networks simultaneously. I'd predict a avg viewership around 5-8M with a peak number approaching 9-10M. We shall see...
