FINAL AD TIMER
Game kicked off at 7:45pm and ended at 11:08pm. So the game was 3 hours and 23 minutes.

Game presentation time: Right about 2 hours, 27 minutes.

Ad time: 131 ads for 55 minutes and 48 seconds.

Disclaimers: Clocks started at the moment of kickoff.

Once the traditional commericials end, I stopped the ad clock. So all of the bumpers where the show comes back from break saying "Tonight's game is brought to you by..." was counted as game presentation. So really, the ads were more than what I tallied.

Also, things like "The Camping World Game Track" or the "Aflac Trivia Question" wasn't counted as ad time, because it took place after the show returned from break. So again, the ads were much higher.

This was done with me having two phones both with the clock aps open. It wasn't exact, but within a few seconds.

Ads shown on the scorebug or on the sidelines weren't counted either. This was done to showcase the stoppages in the game.

Conclusions: Pretty awful. There's an entire hour of just nothing happening. It's why I don't think I'm going to attend any games in person this year. It's getting beyond ridiculous. This would've easily topped an hour had FSU not pulled away and teams were driving, using their timeouts.
