      Nebraska Colorado had essentially the same viewership as Alabama Texas

      It sucks that we’re getting our major network games pitted against Prime – Same timeslot last saturday, Utah-Baylor had 1.3 Million viewers. In two weeks we play UCLA on Fox but Colorado plays Oregon at the same time on ABC. Will be interesting to see the rating for that one as well. Casual viewership is going to the CU hype train

        Yeah, Utah Baylor viewership was killed by being up against the Prime hype train (and the fact it was a hot, ugly game with mostly empty stadium and all backup QBs).

      College Gameday is doing Week 3 Colorado playing CSU. It isn’t even a Rivalry game. Colorado leads all time 67-22. Not even a contest. First visit to Boulder since 1996. CSU is a 3 score dog.

        It is a rivalry, just not a competitive one haha. Last week definitely was more of what CU considers a rivalry game (Nebraska). CU-CSU is more like Utah-Utah St. Years of CU being Big 12 vs. CSU WAC/MWC does this to the competitiveness as well. They have played a lot in Denver but just recently started playing at the schools again (CSU has a new on-campus stadium they want to use).

        I definitely agree that it’s funny Gameday picked this week, but there really isn’t any other good game and might as well hype the Prime train. Next week there is FSU/Clem (but Clemson’s loss deflated the ‘this is for the ACC’), CU @ Ore (they would rather go to Boulder), Ohio St @ ND, even Iowa @ Penn St. UCLA @ Utah, Ore St @ Wazzu, and Ole Miss @ Alabama are three other ranked v ranked in Week 4.

        BTW, Fox Big Noon Kickoff was at TCU vs CU Week 1, Neb @ CU Week 2, and decided to come back to Boulder Week 3 (were going to Penn St/Ill). 2 shows in Boulder this week.
