According to the numbers on this site, Clemson and FSU are the only ACC schools whose average TV viewership in 2022 was higher than the median viewership in the Big 10 or SEC.
- The average viewership for a regular season game involving a Big 10 team was ~1.6M.
- The average viewership for a regular season game involving an SEC team was ~1.8M.
Here is the average viewership of ACC teams in 2022
Clemson |

NC State |

North Carolina |

Pittsburgh |

Boston College |

Of course this is a bit misleading as the viewership for a specific team depends on who the team played. I suspect that Duke's viewership numbers would be higher if they had played Maryland's schedule last year (games vs Ohio St, Michigan, and Penn St).
3.05M people watched the Ohio State-Toledo game last season! That's almost as many viewers as the ACC Championship game between Clemson and UNC.
