College Football Playoff Semifinals Average 19 Million Viewers, ESPN’s Third-Most Watched Day on Record

This year’s College Football Playoff Semifinals started the New Year off strong, registering 19 million average viewers between the two matchups..

bit.ly

Almost 7 million people watched ISU/Oregon. Not bad for a mid-afternoon kick.

Is this the most watched ISU game in history? Big 12 Championship game had about 3 million viewers so I’d guess this has to be the most eyeballs ever on an Iowa State football game, by far.

I’d say the Florida State game in 2002 is the one with the highest ratings

How many watched ISU upset Oklahoma State's bid to get into the college football playoff. It was a night game. Was that on ESPN though?

It was on ESPN, and on a Friday night. I doubt there was that many.

We almost stayed home that night but decided to go and so happy we did. That was epic and I am clearly on the next year's FB poster clear as day. Man that was fun

If I recall, that game was trending at the top on Twitter. How many people switched over to it? Probably a lot.

My son and I were on the goal line and I threw a flag on the officials for incompetence.

I'm kinda surprised I remember that game, given the post-game celebration.

We'll wear the black hat.... or jersey in this case.

I was signed up to run the Living History Farms run the next day. That was not that fun.

I didn’t drink...but I didn’t sleep that night, either.

Took forever to leave the stadium (who wanted to?), then when I got back to Des Moines I was just WAY too wired.
