A pair of Saturday NFL games drew a larger
viewing audience than college football for the rollout of the
sport's 12-team playoff.
The playoff game between SMU and Penn State averaged 6.4 million
viewers on TNT networks, compared with the Texans-Chiefs game on
NBC, which averaged 15.5 million viewers.
Later, Clemson-Texas drew 8.6 million viewers on TNT, compared
with 15.4 million for Steelers-Ravens on Fox.
ESPN, ABC and others aired the other two college games —
Indiana-Notre Dame (13.4 million) on Friday night and
Tennessee-Ohio State (14.3 million) on Saturday night. There
were no competing NFL games.
The overall average of 10.6 million viewers was higher than all
but four college games this season.
