As a holder of a Bachelor's Degree is one of the social sciences, I find TV ratings, aka human behavior, interesting. Of course ratings all depend on what the competition is too. I am a bit concerned by the low numbers for Houston and UCF. I realize they were on FS1, but still, I'd hope they would have done a little better. No ISU number because it was on ESPN+.
On the flip side, the "Coach Prime" hype seems to be working.
I'm surprised about how low Penn State vs WVU was. Might it take a bit for people to flip to NBC for non-Notre Dame football--so they just never found it? That game was at least as compelling at FSU/LSU.
And 2.68 Million people watched Northwestern/Rutgers? What the hell is their problem? Their channel changer broken?
