I meant at some point I might have said 20 because "19.something" doesn't roll of the fingers as easy.

I already gave you a break on the "25 million" that you up-voted.
21 million seems the place to go with a bet.

1) We don't have "upvotes", we have likes. I liked him saying 25m.

2) If you want I can clearly and concisely tell you where to go with your bet.

Sure, if the bet is that we get more than 20m eyes I'll take it. But if you want to walk it up to 21m or 25m because you have been running it up on your own, nah.

Michigan/Texas was just over 9 million. No chance in hell Texas and A&M get remotely close to UM/OSU. Michigan has a better chance of having one of their QB's win the Heisman this year than Texas/AM reaching 19+ million viewers.

I haven't run anything up.
@Thiefery said 25 million and you gave it positive rep (thumbs up) as if it were a number that was realistic.
Someone else said "You think it'll top 20 million?", you replied "I do".
"Top" means more, so give me a number north of 20 million so we can get this bet registered.

Broadcast tv continues to rule the numbers.
Not a good look for FOX tho. I was under the impression they had a heavier hand in this contract, but I guess they have to spread the wealth with CBS/NBC.

It should be noted Oregon vs. Ohio State did just over 34 million viewers in the 2014 season title game. Which is by far the highest rated game of the CFP era. If there were a game to come even close to UM/OSU it's a game like this. Top 5 matchup, broadcast TV, huge brands, both coasts. I honestly thought the number would be a little higher. But there were two other high profile games on at the same time.

There is only one B12 game on there and it was a stand alone game with right now the most marketable team in the conference. YIKES

It is interesting because Fox pushed for the P12 schools to be added, but they were the ones affected the most by it. Contractually, they aren't allowed to broadcast a 9:00 a.m. local start time. So anytime OSU/UM/PSU/Nebraska goes out west, it's automatically going on NBC/CBS(unless it's an 11:00 p.m. ET start like UCLA/Oregon was). This all that added inventory will only go to CBS/NBC. UCLA and Washington being down this season also haven't helped, but banking on UCLA isn't a great strategy.
According to everything I've read, Fox gets the first 3 selections. Apparently they picked week 14(OSU/UM), week 2(Texas/UM), and then traded the 3rd selection to NBC, which was this past week of Oregon/OSU, but that made sense since they couldn't select it anyway. PSU/OSU and UM/OSU are going to do huge numbers, but I would agree, they now have gotten the short end of it. It also hurts that when SC came East to play UM, that was a CBS selection. So Fox got stuck with Marshall/OSU. It could be worse as OSU is obviously a huge draw, but not what SC/UM is going to pull.
Through 7 weeks this is the avg viewing audience:
Fox Big Noon - 4.27 million
NBC - 4.08 million
CBS - 3.82 million
But if memory serves, I think Fox is paying an extra $200 million per year in the deal to have these first couple selections. Certainly isn't worth an extra $200 million for an additional 200K viewers IMO.

3.3 is actually a pretty good number though. Almost doubled what Miami vs. Cal did at the same time slot the week prior.
Also, other numbers will come out shorty. My guess is AZ/BYU and ISU/WVU are the next two on the list. Maybe Clemson/Wake, but I'd lean the other two.
