2024 College Football TV Ratings

Texas-A&M a regional rivalry.

A surprise to no one outside Texas

No CBS numbers for SC/ND. If I had to guess I'd say in the 5-6 million range.
 
I doubt ESPN/ABC would fudge the numbers against their best interest. I just don't think it's a game with national appeal. It didn't rate that well towards the end of it the last time. If I had to guess, I guess next year's will probably be lower. There was a ton of pre-promotion (GameDay etc...) which I doubt happens next year. But maybe they'll want to go to Austin for it.

Wish they would have made this the black Friday game.
Yeah until we can get it back on THX day or to black friday I guess it won't get that much attention. After a few years it will start to gain traction nationally again.
 
wouldn't even matter.. y'all just couldn't move the ball consistently
Reed forgot how to read the DE that night, makes no sense. There were so many gifts for him, it was like Klein had told him he isn't allowed to pull and run on the first drive.

honestly i think after the first half the game kinda lost it luster.. if it were closer I think it would have done better numbers.. despite all that, it easily beat out the other rivalry numbers of the rest of the SEC
 
Highly doubt a&m / Texas will be a top 5 game for the season.
@ 9.45 million viewers, it was not in the top 5 games for the season. It was no. 6:

11.99
9.6
13.19
10.23
9.77

Then TEX v, ATM - 9.45
 
Yeah, but ABC/SEC still has:

UGA v UF
UGA v. OM
UGA v. UTjr
UA v. AU
LSU v. UA
TEX v. ATM
UF v. LSU*
UF v TEX
UF v FSU

Those 9 games will do 30 - 60 million.

UF still draws a lot of attention when playing good competition—all these games will be watched by 3-4 million.
This post seemed to rile a few of you up. Let's check the receipts (I am posting this before looking or doing calculations - I could be right or wrong, probably a little of both):

UGA v UF - UF still draws a lot of attention when playing good competition—all these games will be watched by 3-4 million.

Let's get this one out of the way because I was clearly wrong - it did 1.37 million. Way to go FSU, you losers.

UGA v. OM - 7.08
UGA v. UTjr - 9.96
UA v. AU - 7.16
LSU v. UA - 7.9
TEX v. ATM - 9.45
UF v. LSU* - 6.02
UF v TEX - 3.7
UF v FSU - 1.37

Those 9 games will do 30 - 60 million.


I came in on the high end of that range - 52.64 million.

And, I left off:

UGA v. Nerds - 8.47 (didn't see that coming)
UA v. OU - 6.98
TX v. Arky - 4.56
Ky v. TEX - 4.47
MSU v. OM - 4.33
UF v. OM - 3.82
Vandy v. UTjr - 3.61

That's another 36.24 million

So, wrong on UF v. FSU which I though would be closer to 3-4 million. But right across the board on all the others.
 
I am not sure that I saw the SEC dominate TV like that.

Here are the $4 million games in order:

Up from just over a million last year.
 

Michigan was a 20 point underdog and only the faithful were watching The Game. No one wanted to see a slaughter. So 12.3 million is kinda small for the greatest rivalry in sports. I was busy counting money after The Game!!!!
 
Here you go ... along with the rest of the season, the SEC just means more.

SEC - 16.6
B1G - 12.3
B12 - 6.9
ACC - 6.0
MW - 3.01
