As of Thursday night, Dec. 30, Iowa State vs. Clemson in the Cheez-It Bowl has been the most watched game this college football postseason.

ESPN announced its recent ratings on Thursday afternoon, which put the Cheez-It Bowl No. 1, quite clearly ahead of the rest, with 4.9 million viewers. That’s the highest rating for a Cheez-It Bowl since 2013, when Louisville defeated Miami.

It’s notable that Iowa State / Clemson was watched by more fans than the Alamo Bowl, which featured Oregon and Oklahoma.
