Coach Prime and Colorado Are Dominating College Football TV Ratings

Coach Prime & Colorado Are Dominating The College Football TV Ratings, But Will This Trend Continue? #FunnyMaine #CoachPrime #Colorado #CollegeFootball #Ratings #CU

Coach Prime is giving us something fresh and new to see. I will always watch Alabama play. When the Buffs are on at competing times, I will record both and flip between channels. I also watched JSU last season whenever I could pick up the game.

I would love the colorado story if it wasn't so over blown. Like golden state when they came out of nowhere. Easy to like a feel good underdog become something. But media won't shut up about em.

I have 2 degrees from BAMA, I pledged LZ in 1993 at BAMA!! I was born AND reared in Alabama. I've watched Bama AND the Buffs play this season. Nothing has changed that. Let's GO, MY

Viewship will be higher this week. Between both teams, the haters, Deion friends, and the casual fans this game will be the most watched game of the week. I'm a Roll Tide fan, but can't wait for USC and CO game because I will be tuned in.

USC vs CU easily 10 - 15 million views. Wish Travis was playing.

Remember with Bama/Texas, if u had Spectrum Cable like me, u missed out watching that game.

For me, the fun of watching the Coach Prime situation is seeing what happens in the next two to three years.

What is happening now, win or lose for the rest of the year...is just good for the team to build upon.

He has them winning the games they should win. He has positive media perception, and a positive momentum.

Should Colorado be ranked in the top25 at this point? Of course not...but that's not the point in year 1.

Is the team exciting to watch? Is it attractive for recruits? Is the team overperforming expectations? The answer to all three is yes.

I think they watch this week to the tune of 8.8m but if they get beat it drops down but I think he stays top 5 most of the year. He has turned the spot light 100. Wish him the best.

Colorado barely beat TCU by 3 points and the media hype made it seem like CU had already won the Natty. Being at the game, it was new all-time record attendance both overall and for the students. CU played a bad Nebraska team and a low Colorado State team _barely winning again_ and the hype was unreal. Finally they've faced a solid, all-around team and got exposed for being what they are: a bunch of showboaters with just 2-3 great players.

Even as a TCU fan, I was pulling for CU to do well this season (4-6 wins), but the over-hype and the blind fanaticism by the fanboys where _everything_ was "disrespectful" and "you're a hater" if you ever mentioned they weren't going 15-0 this season just turned me off to them. With their blowout loss to Oregon, the racists have come out showing their true colors with "disrespecting a black coach" crap.

USC needs to hand Colorado another blowout whooping which _might_ start to humble some of their rabid fan-base. One would be foolish to deny Deion Sanders' talent and what he's done with the media, but most of it is just smoke and mirrors and a handful of good to great players. Colorado still lacks a run defense and their o-line is weak (and I'm still ticked at Sonny Dykes for only rushing 3 when 4 consistent rushers would have really changed the game).

FOX is riding the Colorado bandwagon hard, milking those views for all they can get. This will be the _fourth time this season_ FOX Noon Kickoff has been at a Colorado game.

I am patient enough to see what happens in the next few years when these star players are gone. Will Sanders be able to recruit 5-star players with a mediocre season? Will Sanders have his contract renewed or will he go to the NFL? (Not sure if it was FOX or ABC casters who were saying he was already NFL-level head coach material.)

*EDIT:* Fourth? TCU, Nebraska, Colorado St, USC. ? (Oregon was ABC)

The media is in love with Prime. It will fade as the better teams destroy the Buffs.

[MetallicAAlabamA]

Likley will be the most watched game this Saturday morning with #8 USC traveling to Colorado. A 9am local time kickoff. 11 central. That early kick may derail the eyes.

[bamadabone]

Like Bama Cowboys and Lakers, People watch Colorado to see Deion lose

[williamcroy]

It's not surprising that Colorado games are drawing an audience, not with all the over the top, and apparently unwarranted, hype every talking head at every sports network is giving them.

[brandensimmons]

Colorado vs. USC will be 12 million Ratings plus streaming equals an total of 25

[prestontempleman]

If USC goes up two touchdowns quickly, then tv ratings for the rest of the season are toast

[Shepard]

They finally played a decent team and got knocked back to reality

[paulbegansky]

Not a very good college slate. Usc at Colorado is one of the most interesting games so it will get the top or near top rating. Everyone likes a car wreck.

[tuat.mvpformallybigd.]

I thought they were going undefeated but they play a good team and they looked pretty bad.

[jeremycremeans]

After this season, deion aint staying at colorado.

[rosshixon]

😂 he said maybe people thought there'd be a comeback. No. We loved watching a team full of the biggest talkers get smashed and listen to the nut riders making excuses.😅 reality has set in in the state of Colorado.
