  • Preliminary viewership figures are in for the inaugural first round of the College Football Playoff. And as expected, ESPN's games performed quite well while TNT's fell victim to some stiff competition from the NFL.

The article from MSN discusses the viewership ratings for college football broadcasts on ESPN and TNT. ESPN's coverage of the College Football Playoff (CFP) semifinals, specifically the Michigan vs. Alabama game, drew an impressive 21.7 million viewers, marking it as the most-watched CFP semifinal since 2014. This game peaked at 27.2 million viewers, showcasing significant interest in college football's premier event. Conversely, TNT's broadcast of the Peach Bowl between Ole Miss and Penn State did not fare as well, averaging only 4.3 million viewers, which was lower than expected and highlighted a stark contrast in viewer engagement between the two networks. The article suggests that while ESPN continues to dominate in college football viewership, TNT's entry into broadcasting these games has not yet captured a similar audience.
