We had a TV advantage of being on ABC instead of ESPN but looks like we had more viewers than the LB last year of Georgia and TCU. Combine that with the sellout crowd and its very impressive.

Are the rankings ( 5th, 12th, 22nd, etc.) of all programs that week? Or rankings of all sports programming. Or, of all football broadcasts that week?

Only college football games.

I can’t remember, but wasn’t there another game at the same time as ours and Iowa was the only game in their time slot?

Gator bowl was same time.

Makes sense since none of their fanbase traveled for the game, so they all watched on TV.

So, if I'm reading this right, 8 of our 13 games ranked in the top 25 of most watched college games that week? That's pretty solid.

Considering that the top 25 would typically include 50 out of 64 Power 5 teams, I’m not sure its as good as it sounds.

Yeah, after accounting for teams that have off weeks and teams that are playing against lower level teams that may not be on national tv, the games ranked in the 20's and high teens are at the bottom of P5 matchups.

When ISU played against Texas, we were up against an NFL game. I believe MLB was winding down regular season with playoff runs as well.

And KSU game (which ranked 22nd, according to OP's list) was during rivalry weekend, so hardly a surprise it didn't rate too highly.
