CBS just released their schedule and has Boise vs Utah State at noon EST (10 am local) on Sept. 25th opening up for the SEC game of the week and then vs SDSU on Black Friday (9am local) leading up to the SEC game. This is HUGE, in my biased opinion of course.

Are the fans happy with games that early?

Honest question, Why is this on the AAC Board? No body left to read it on the MWC Board?

Both games are on the road. We're happy that they're 12 noon on CBS leading up to the SEC game of the week. Ratings should be stellar.

I wouldn't bet on that. ESPN, ABC, and Fox will have P5 games opposite them. I'm sure they'll be better than CBS SN ratings, but I'm not buying that because they are before the SEC the ratings will be higher. In fact there will be other SEC games competing with them. And B1G games.

Interesting question.
CBS doesn't do a lot of noon timeslot games. Even with SEC doubleheaders, far more likely to be afternoon and primetime.
CBS SEC Noon games
'19 UF-Missouri 2.29 million viewers
'18 Miss TxA&M 2.13 million viewers
'17 Miss St Ark 1.678 million viewers
'17 UF S.Car 2.391 million viewers
'16 S.Car UF 2.45 million viewers.

In 2016, ND at Navy was also a noon game - 2.42 million viewers, pretty close to ND at Navy at 8 ET from San Diego in 2018 - 2.447 million viewers.

Some NON SEC games on CBS due to pandemic last year: App St at Marshall 1.25 million viewers, and a mwc matchup SDSU-Nev 859k viewers. Both were in the SEC 3:30 on CBS timeslot

So, it will be interesting to see the difference between an early-season noon slot and the Black Friday noon slot, and also AF at Navy on CBS at 3:30 on September 11th. edited to add: Oh, and Army at AirForce at 0930 local time on CBS ota 06 November

I would rather hear about some MACtion, or even some funbelt than a 5th Boise thread.

I am glad this got moved off topic.
But I was setting a little trap -- zagboy would have come back saying how cool it would be to get even between one million and two million viewers for a mwc vs mwc game...and then I would say, yeah, between 2015-2020 there were only 5 mwc intraconference games over a million viewers (3 regular season, 2 CCGs) but the AAC had 24...or zagnut would predict two million plus viewers and I would point out that the next 2-million-viewer mwc vs mwc game will be the first, even though the AAC has had 14 in the last six seasons.

Oh well...

For the record, my guess is AF-Navy outdraws Boise's Black Friday which outdraws Army-AF which outdraws the Boise September game...maybe none beat two million viewers...but we don't even know with what games they'll be competing for eyeballs.

Wouldn't you rather hear about UConn Fb first.

This tells me CBS is not done with CFB.
I see CBS bidding on B 12 games, maybe some Pac 12 also.

If you wanted that to happen, perhaps it was because your side was losing the debate.

I wanted it to continue, because I thought our side of the debate was starting to turn the tide.

I'm pretty sure which moderator pulled the plug on it, too, but wonder how AttackCoug feels about it, since he was enjoying the discussion. If I were AC, I would be pretty ticked off about it....

...unless the discussion continues in this section.

Then the decision to move the threads over here will have backfired.

See post #8. Oh wait, you deleted the part where I win.

And since you had yet to post in this thread, what exactly are you describing as "our side" ?!?

A thread about two Boise mwc vs mwc games being on CBS IS in fact OFF TOPIC to AAC issues. Thread being started by an outsider doesn't help. 3rd post highlighted an AAC poster saying it was Off Topic. This thread is the least surprising of the mods' moves to OT.

I'm not sure beating him over the head with logic will do any good, it seems he has maybe had a few too many hits to the ol noggin for any more to be beneficial.
