"Fans should expect an exciting group to watch," Boyle said.

Tad Boyle touched on a variety of topics at Colorado basketball media day on Monday. Here are my takeaways from his press conference:

The “SEC on ABC” continues to dominate college football viewership this season.

ABC averaged 12.9 million viewers for Georgia-Texas and 10.7 million for Alabama-Tennessee in a Saturday SEC doubleheader, per Nielsen fast-nationals and Adobe Analytics — marking the largest and third-largest audiences of the college football season, respectively.

The “SEC on ABC” now accounts for the three largest audiences of the season, with Alabama-Georgia last month ranking second (11.99M per Nielsen).
ABC now owns 11 of the top 14 college football audiences this season, pending final results from the weekend. Four of the 12 most-watched games this season were created by the latest round of realignment — Georgia-Texas, Ohio State-Oregon on NBC the prior week (10.4M across Nielsen and Adobe Analytics), USC-Michigan on CBS last month (6.32M per Nielsen) and Tennessee-Oklahoma on ABC last month (6.27M per Nielsen).
