Message: [QUOTE="JimBoston, post: 4674504, member: 1312"] This is a good attempt at analyzing TV ratings, but there are some issues. For example, look at Louisville. If you go below the surface, you can see the sample is skewed to make Louisville look good. For example, in 2022, Louisville played 12 games, yet only 4 were broadcast on one of the rated channels. The games: 1) @UCF on a Friday night on ESPN2 with 1.85 million viewers. 2) FSU at home on a Friday night on ESPN with 2.75 million viewers. 3) James Madison on ESPNU. Audience not rated. 4) [USER=3827]Clemson[/USER] on ESPN with 1.38 million viewers. 8 games on ACCN/RSN with no ratings. So, Louisville had 2 Friday night games against no football competition and 2 games against the biggest brands in the ACC. Were people watching because it was Friday night and/or against the ACC's biggest brands? If Louisville was such a big ratings draw, they wouldn't have most of their games on the ACCN. [/QUOTE]
