Well, super unfortunate that we had to go directly up against possibly the biggest game of the year.

2.6 million viewers on ABC

Compared to 16.6 million for Ohio State- Texas, the most for a Week 1 game in history. In the age of viewers meaning alot for us now money wise, we got boned

Yup. We easily would have gotten a VT- South Carolina number of 5.4 million or more

This is why the new ACC model of rewarding ratings is so stupid. We can’t control what is counter programmed against us. We barely beat out the Boise-USF ratings, only because the biggest game of the non-conference schedule was directly against us.

2.6 million is a big number for a regular season game for us though, even on ABC. Isn't it?

Yes, but it could have been much much more. For context, last years Cuse v Miami game had 2.11 million.

We ended up as the #10 most watched game of the weekend. It just so happens that 6 ACC teams had more ( FSU, Clemson, Miami, UNC, VA Tech, GA Tech)
