UCF-Louisville was the highest-rated ESPN broadcast of the entire season, with over 2.2 million viewers.

The rating beat out the Boise State-Fresno State game earlier this season with the UCF-Louisville game pulling a 1.5 rating. The previous week Temple vs. Cincinnati had a 0.6 rating, while Boise State vs. Air Force had a 1.3 rating earlier in September.


Not only was the game the highest Friday broadcast of the season, it also beat out Thursday nights Miami vs. North Carolina game which had 2.18 million viewers.

For the Knights, it only bodes well to receive high TV viewership ratings as they look to beef up their schedule in coming seasons.
