Bowl Ratings

Posted: 1/14/2011 9:58:42 AM

Not really a surprise, but the New Orleans Bowl landed at the bottom of the bowl ratings. It was one of only 10 bowls that outperformed last year's ratings and was 3rd in ratings growth year-over-year.

Given the performance on the field, it's probably good that very few watched.

Those low ratings will really cost us in academic recruiting of all those good prospective students and their parents who watch lower tier bowl games.

It will also give us a crappier schedule than we already have and the pretzels will get even smaller.

Man, the Bobcats are great for ratings. Increased NOLA Nowl ratings by 103%. And the Little Caesars Bowl drops by 82% without the Bobcats. Ohio is a ratings bonanza. We need to ask for more money from ESPN.

The early bowls are like the first couple of rounds of the NCAA basketball tourney. Nobody watches until the elite 8 then by the time the final four are playing seems everyone becomes a basketball fan.

Hanging in there!

Ratings for early round NCAA games are 4x those early bowls.

However, that's an aggregate of the four games on at a given point -- this year will be the first year we can easily see game-by-game ratings, since all will be televised in their entirety.

Any lower ratings for the early rounds of the NCAA tourney are due to (1) too many games in too little time and (2) a third of the games are on weekday afternoons.

Lower ratings for early bowl games are due to teams with minimal national interest in bowl games that few people care about playing on the last big weekend shopping day before Christmas.

The only reason I can see for the big jump in ratings this year is because Athens and Troy are bigger TV markets than Hattiesburg and Murfreesboro. The ratings would have been even higher if they had announced they would air the 110's full show instead of discussing Auburn-Oregon for the 9000th time at halftime.

As I recall the self proclaimed boycott expert predicted the Marshall - Ohio Pizza Bowl would get horrible ratings. Turns out one of the top half bowl ratings for last season.

I will predict that the 2011 Ohio vs. Marshall game will replace Pitt as the number one attended home game in Bobcat history. 24,001

What I find interesting here is that two MAC bowls had better ratings than the Gator Bowl with two BCS teams -- Mississippi State Bulldogs and THE University of Michigan Yellow Weasels.

Pitt was actually over 24k, and is 2nd on the list now to UCONN.

Do not care what the numbers are Pitt was the best attended game in the history of Peden, and for one night one of the best atmospheres in college football!

Couldn't agree more, JCW!

For those keeping score at home, please note that I've just agreed with JCW in three successive posts. Not exactly on par with DJ's assist average, but some of you guys and gals on here keep stats on some very strange things, and this certainly is very strange.

OCF the real problem here is you agree with me more than you want to admit!

Medina - how did you come up with those percentages? I had NO with a 86% increase as well as different numbers on the rest of the bowls. Just curious as to how you did the math.

The 2009 numbers only go to one decimal place. If the 2009 number was .65 it would round to .7 but result in 103% increase to the 1.32 number in 2010.
