Couldn't find the numbers for the Northwestern game anywhere and all the others are on the BE network. Cinci, USF, Rutgers and Stony Brook. Big Ten network had the Minnesota game. These other games were on ESPN/ABC. Ratings are based on people in the age range of 18-49 and a share of the TV market for those time slots (it's all pretty confusing)
9-8: Syracuse vs USC(ABC)
3:30 - 4.7 million - 3.3 rating (only FLA vs TAMU was higher 3.4, but had less viewers overall)
10-5: Syracuse vs Pitt (landed 3 ratings in top 100)(ESPN)
6:59: 1.368 million - 0.5 rating
10:05 - 1.392 million - 0.6 rating
10:20 - 1.389 million - 0.5 rating
10-19: Syracuse vs Uconn(ESPN)
8:00 - 1.004 million - 0.3 rating
11-10: Syracuse vs Louisville(ABC)
12:00 - 2.485 million - 1.5 rating (37 markets, not a good number, miami/virginia had a 2.5 rating in 17 markets)
Based on these numbers, it's not really a shocker on why the BE gets low ball offers from ESPN. People just don't watch BE football games when they are on TV. Other conferences (SEC, BIG 12) have crazy ratings for their games. The Alabama/TAMU game received a 6.6 rating on Saturday with a 14 rating in Dallas alone. WVU/Okie St received a 2.9 rating.
