Met the son of a friend last month who was being dropped off to start his freshman year at Stanford. Incredibly earnest kid.  If he is remotely representative, then i agree with cctop, what Theo described may be going on at Stanford (it almost certainly does), but its not representative of all or even typical Stanford students today.

Stanford is within spitting distance of… Nebraska.

Obviously not good.
But actually better than I expected.

Thanks for posting.  That chart is really fascinating.

- Iowa is much higher than I'd expect.
- Notre Dame is surprisingly low.
- UCLA is shockingly low.  I can't believe we have almost twice as many viewers to date.  Granted UCLA has played only 4 games, none of them against a ranked team, while we got a bump from Miami.

both Cal and Stanford have had two of their games with late starts (Cal two at 7:30pm PT and us with one each at 6pm and 7:30pm PT) which I would think hurts total viewership.  Cal also played Wagner, tv viewers for that likely to be about the same as when we play Elon.....

It’s still early in the season and a number of key teams have zero marquee games so far.

Not to push ND, but so far as an example they have played Wisconsin, Rice, Michigan St, Purdue and UNC. That isn’t quite all bums, but it’s 2 mid tier Big 10 games, a who cares outside of Indiana big 10 game, Rice and a meh UNC team. Check in again after USC, Miami, BYU and maybe SMU.

In contrast Iowa has played OSU and Michigan already - its 2 biggest draws by far. It’s all downhill from here.

Edit: also the numbers are a bit jenky these days. Purdue didn’t make sense to me with a ND game completed, but it turns out that game has no official Nielsen or viewer numbers because it was on Peacock. Ugh.
