Not counting the playoff bowls the average bowl viewership was 3.94 Million per game.
The lowest was the Camellia Bowl between So. Alabama and Bowling Green at 1.11M
The highest was the Cotton Bowl between Baylor and Michigan State at 9.09M
In the playoff bowls
Sugar Bowl - Ohio State and Alabama - 28.27M
Rose Bowl - Oregon and Florida State - 28.16M
Title game - Ohio State and Oregon - 34.15M
All but 4 bowls were on ESPN or ESPN2 and some are even ran by ESPN. That is why there are so many bowls. Also the fact the smaller conferences are trying to get bowls started for their schools that we normally shutout a place to go.
