August 29:
ESPN
BYU/UConn 0.7 rating 1.08 million viewers -- won the night on ESPN
ESPNU UTSA/ Houston 0.1 rating 221,000 viewers compared to 168k for Wake/ULM the night before
August 30
ESPN2
Penn State/UCF 0.9 rating 1.3 million viewers (8:30 AM kickoff)
ESPN NEWS
NCCENTRAL/ ECU 0.0 rating 81,000 viewers
August 31
Fox Sports1 SMU/Baylor 0.4 rating 762,000 viewers
Widely distributed networks average (FS1, ESPN, ESPN2): 1,044,000
By comparison three Mountain West games averaged 1,575,000 but did have better time slots. For example, Penn State/UCF would have drawn much better with a later or prime time slot like Boise State/Ole Miss which drew 2.42 million Thursday night. The other two MWC games did about the same as AAC games with UNLV playing Arizona and Fresno State playing USC.

Week 2 ratings:
ABC:
Oklahoma/Tulsa 2.1 rating 3.19 million viewers (part of split coverage with Akron/Penn State)
ESPNU:
ECU/S. Carolina 0.5 rating 959,000 viewers
ESPNNEWS: Ga Tech/Tulane 0.2 rating 307,000 viewers
Can't really make much of the Oklahoma/Tulsa game, because it wasn't 100% national. East Carolina/S. Carolina rating is outstanding for ESPNU. GA Tech/Tulane is pretty good for ESPNNEWS.
