Boston College-Miami TV Ratings Season Low For ABC

What do you get when you put a 3-8 Boston College team against a bowl ineligible 6-5 Miami team on ABC the day after Thanksgiving? The network's lowest rated college football telecast of the season, of course.
"ABC's top game of the season was the November 19 edition of Saturday Night Football, featuring either USC/#4 Oregon or #5 Oklahoma/#22 Baylor (6.1, 9.744M). The network's season low came less than a week later, with the November 25 tilt between Boston College and Miami (1.4, 2.103M)."
In fairness to the Eagles and Hurricanes, the game, along with Iowa-Nebraska at noon that day, was the network's lone Friday afternoon college football broadcast. BC-Miami was also one of the few games nationally televised in the 3:30 PM slot for ABC, joining Alabama-Penn State (Sep. 10, 3.9, 6.083M), Oklahoma State-Texas (Oct. 15, 3.8, 5.587M) and Texas-Baylor (Dec. 3, 2.3, 3.259M).
Still, you have to figure that if the two programs had kept the game on Saturday that a few more viewers would have tuned in, right?

Re:BC-Miami TV Ratings
You failed to mention this game was on at the same time as #1 LSU vs #3 Arkansas, a game with serious title implications. Also happening at the same time was the nationally televised Bruins-Red Wings game, which was definitely gonna steal a lot of Boston viewers.
Good point about LSU vs. Arkansas. Re: Bruins, no one cares.

I’m not very familiar with TV rating calculations, so I have a question.
November 19 edition of Saturday Night Football, featuring either USC/#4 Oregon or #5 Oklahoma/#22 Baylor (6.1, 9.744M)
When they calculated the 11/19 rating, is that the average or the sum of the two broadcasts?
I believe it is the sum, though someone can correct me if I’m wrong.
