College football continues to deliver massive television ratings so far in the 2023 season, and Deion Sanders and Colorado have played a major role.
ESPN announced Tuesday that Saturday’s Colorado vs. Oregon game on ABC drew 10.4 million viewers with a peak audience of 12.6 million. Not only was it the most-watched game of the 2023 season thus far, it also was the most-viewed Pac-12 conference game since 2006.
And that viewership came even with the game quickly becoming a blowout. Colorado started the season 3-0 with a few dramatic victories in Sanders’ first season in charge. But that changed in CU’s Pac-12 opener. Oregon dominated the game, jumping out to a 35-0 halftime lead before eventually winning 42-6.
According to Sports Media Watch, Colorado has played in four of the top seven most-viewed games of the season. The dramatic, double-overtime win over Colorado State in Week 3 had 9.3 million viewers even with the game ending after 2 a.m. ET. Colorado’s Week 2 home win over Nebraska drew 8.73 million viewers for Fox, while the debut of Colorado’s Sanders era at TCU in Week 1 attracted 7.26 million viewers.
Colorado has now played in four of the seven most-watched games this season. Last season, their most-watched game ranked 162nd.
