Sports Media Watch (@sportsmediawatch.bsky.social) Sports media news and information. Run by Jon Lewis.

If Jon Lewis sportsmediawatch.bsky.social has any ability to dig up games on ESPNU from 2021 and earlier, would love the direction! Was inspired by his appearances on @richarddeitsch.bsky.social's podcast to start diving into viewership numbers on the event.

Stagg Bowl ratings up 26% The results are in, and viewership for the Stagg Bowl was up significantly over last year's game and the two previous contests.

Ratings for the Stagg Bowl are low when it's on ESPNU and low when it's up against Sunday Night Football, but viewership was still up 26% over last year, and we'll take that. #d3fb d3football.com/playoffs/202...

Earlier voting at the convention on the proposal to bring back the routine redshirt also failed, with just under 40% in favor, 182-273-6. That's similar to how the voting went in the early 2000s when redshirting was voted out. #d3fb #d3hoops

Voting at the NCAA convention today! The proposal to give two automatic bids to conferences of 12 of more was roundly defeated: 83-377-1. Only 18% in favor. Usually proposals with this little support are pulled before they reach a vote, but they took this one all the way to the vote. #d3hoops #d3fb

Kaleb Blaha hurt and not being able or willing to risk his shoulder to run is a big deal.

The NCAA playoff bracket is out! This is how teams will line up headed to Stagg Bowl LII, as the algorithm chose them and the committee bracketed them.

It's that time of year! Our projected #d3fb playoff bracket is out. Now the question is how many flights the NCAA will spring for for teams, because the teams that got in and their seedings do not match the geography. www.d3football.com/playoffs/202...

Sure thing. It would be 625 for No. 1, 600 for No. 2, then 575, 550, 525, 500, 475, 450, 425, 400.

Nor did the Centennial nor the WIAC. Conferences who have eight teams and play three non-conference games, then seven conference games, often take Week 4 as a bye. Sometimes teams need to play in Week 4 to find a third non-conference opponent, though. #d3fb
