Using the website Medium, here is a breakdown of the data of the most viewed Football teams from the ACC from 2020-2024:
Rankings of AVG viewers per year
2024 - 1. Miami 2. GT 3. CL 4. FSU 5. Louisville
2023 - 1. FSU 2. CL 3. Louisville 4. Miami 5. Duke
2022 - 1. CL, 2. FSU 3. NC ST. 4. UNC 5. GT
2021 - 1. CL, 2. FSU. 3. Miami 4. UNC 5. Louisville
2020 - 1. CL, 2. FSU, 3. Miami 4. Louisville 5. Pitt
Avg Viewers PER game (All games) 2020-2024
1. FSU - 2.204 M PER GAME (2023 they have 3.58Million which skewed the avg for them being in 1st)
2. CL - 2.08 M PER GAME
3. Miami - 1.35M PER GAME (2024 really helped them out as they led the conference last year)
4. GT - 913K PER GAME, was surprised to see them in 4th but 2024 they had a huge year coming in 2nd due to ND, and UGA
5. Louisville - 885K PER GAME
6. Stanford - 816K PER GAME (However if looking at 2024 only year in league they avg 478K per game)
7. UNC - 785K PER GAME
8. Cuse - 682K PER GAME
9. NC ST. - 665K PER GAME
10. VT - 635K PER GAME
11. Pitt - 623K PER GAME
12. CAL - 515K PER GAME (However if looking at 2024 only year in league they avg 366K per game)
13. UVA - 462K PER GAME
14. Duke - 454K PER GAME
15. BC - 416K PER GAME
16. WF - 385K PER GAME
17. SMU - 250K PER GAME (However if looking at 2024 only year in league they avg 341K per game)
**ND BTW avg 3.144 M PER GAME. CL, FSU, and Miami definitely need to play them every year. It will get all of our numbers up. In fact, going forward OOC schedules really should be based off the AVG viewers other teams are getting overall. All teams should look at viewership numbers and try to schedule games against teams with higher viewership numbers but ones they have a good chance to beat. Teams like Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan ST., USC, OK St., TCU, MS ST, WV and UCLA all have high TV viewership but haven't been all that great as of late. **
