The Rose Bowl Game Presented by Northwestern Mutual between USC and Penn State (January 2 at 5 p.m. ET) generated an overnight rating of 9.4 on ESPN and streaming added an additional average minute audience of 300,000 viewers with 1,103,000 unique viewers watching a total of 75,989,000 minutes, making it by far the best overnight and most-streamed non-semifinal New Year’s Six game ever (12 games in three years).
Rose Bowl Generates Significant Growth in All Metrics From Last Year
The overnight for the instant-classic was up 19% from last year’s Rose Bowl Game (Stanford vs. Iowa) which was played on its traditional January 1 date (5 p.m. on ESPN), while the streaming audience was up 68%, 64%, and 102%, respectively, in average minute audience, unique viewers and total minutes watched.

Where are the ratings for the playoff games? I wonder if the rose bowl outdrew the semifinals

This year was weird with New Years Day falling on a Sunday. Most people had off of work Monday with nothing to do but watch football. High ratings aren't surprising. Ratings for the two playoff games were still down 32% from two years ago.

Fans are getting Bama fatigue. We all know what's going to happen.

I thought the bowls were up from last year but still below 2014 numbers

I'm an SEC guy, but the traditional Rose Bowl is a perfect game. From the painting of the field, to the site, to the time of day in my time zone (central).

I wonder whether the millennial who wrote this realizes that when NY Day falls on Sunday, NY Day bowl games TRADITIONALLY are played on Monday, Jan. 2. Therefore, the Rose Bowl yesterday was in its TRADITIONAL time slot.

It's amazing what having good, exciting blue blood programs like Penn State and USC in the bowls will do to ratings. No offense to Iowa, but I'm never going to make the effort to find the remote to change the channel and watch them play.
Maybe people do prefer watching exciting, fast teams. Who knew?

Don't forget half of the idiots on the Rant who asserted that LSU was NOT in a New Year's Day Bowl because they didn't play on Sunday.

Yeah, I agree. The atmosphere and appearance of the field and stadium is fantastic. Really makes the Superdome and Jerry Jones stadium look plastic.

The Rose Bowl was a great game this year, and it is usually. It always seems to deliver.

I agree with this.....

The games so far in the CFP since it began have been horrendous. There's been 8 total games now and 2 have been competitive. 5 have been decided by 20+ points and Bama-Washington didn't feel that close in the second half and was decided by 17.
I know this probably doesn't have a huge impact on ratings but that part has been very disappointing for me. I'm sure it will change at some point

Only 14 out of 103 Rose Bowls have been played on Jan 2 w/1 game on Jan 3 and 1 on Jan 4.
So it's correct to say that Jan 1 is the traditional date vs Jan 2. Sure, "technically" Jan 2 is usually the non Jan 1 date and could be described as traditional in that sense but it's still not the normal traditional date for the Rose Bowl comparatively.
Also,
at throwing millennial in there as an insult. May as well have called him a beta hipster too since that also has been overused so much it now simply means "I don't like XXX about person and need a catch all insult." :lolThis post was edited on 1/3/17 at 5:17 pm

The only thing I can think of that Jerry World has on the actual Cotton Bowl when hosting the CB is that you'll never freeze your arse off. Other than that? The atmosphere is average at best, the massive jumbotron is distracting as hell, the ridiculous mark ups for booze, food, and parking are a joke, and most of all Arlington just flat out sucks arse to drive out to b/c there is little there other than a few chain restaurants.
The Superdome I'm ok with though. It's atmosphere is decent enough and it's location kicks all kinds of arse.

Makes sense.
It was the Rose Bowl and was right after the semifinals which were absolute garbage games.
So everyone was looking toward the Rose Bowl in the hopes of salvaging the bowl season.
It did it in spectacular fashion.

I gotta say, I admire the Rose Bowl folks for sticking to their guns with the Big 10-Pac 10 matchup. Of course, they lucked out this year with two marquee programs who had their first really good season in a little while. When was the last time Penn State played in a Rose Bowl?

Was there anyone that didn't mind the playoff games were on New Year's Eve?
