[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129570113, member: 1428007"] Its important to add contextual information when discussing the candidates. for example UConn. Its mentioned above their bowl tv ratings "were just as bad with....2.2 million viewers" First of all 2.4 million viewers is what the game actually had according to sports media watch. And that number of viewers isn't "bad"--that outdid many college football games over the season featuring higher profile opponents. Its a bowl game though. But, was 2.4 million viewers "worse" or even "bad"? Not when you add in the context of that game being a minor bowl played between two current "Group of 5" opponents that get very little coverage during the season on major networks. The UConn/Marshall game had the highest number of viewers of any bowl games between any two "G5" schools. How did it compare to a game on the same network, same day featuring a "P5" vs. a "G5"? The independence Bowl followed that game between the University of Washington and Southern Miss had 2.617 million viewers--just 200,000 or so more. So the UConn games ratings actually weren't bad ratings for such a bowl. [/QUOTE]
