Here is some more interesting information. I got this from the Texas Board, so I'm assuming it's accurate.  Didn't verify with ESPN though, so take it at face value.  It shows TV ratings for the games shown on ESPN/ABC networks during week one.  It doesn't include other stuff like ND-Temple.  The ACC got a lot of good visibility.  Some may argue that the SEC helped the ACC get it, but it was ACC playing SEC.  Kudos to ACC teams for doing this.  The Syracuse Penn State game did well.   The UVA-BYU game bombed, but it had a long weather delay, and we were on at the same time as Alabama-VT.
 
Georgia-Clemson, ABC, 4.9
South Carolina vs North Carolina 3.65 (before storm delay)
South Carolina vs North Carolina 3.14 (after storm delay)
Alabama-Virginia Tech, ESPN, 3.1
Florida State-Pittsburgh, ESPN, 3.0
Texas A&M-Rice, ESPN, 2.9
Ole Miss @ Vanderbilt 2.74 (for a game that did not end till around 1 am on the east coast on a weeknight)
Mississippi St.-Oklahoma St./Syracuse-Penn St., ABC Regional, 2.2 (combined rating)
LSU-TCU, ESPN, 1.9
Buffalo-Ohio State, ESPN2, 1.5
