Rose Bowl Delivers New Non-CFP Semifinal New Year’s Six Record
The Rose Bowl Game delivered a 9.7 overnight (ESPN and ESPN2) up 3% from the 2017 Rose Bowl Game (1/1/2017) and up 23% from the 2016 edition (1/1/16). The overnight for the Buckeyes’ victory becomes the highest-rated non-Semifinal New Year’s Six game, overtaking the previously mentioned 2017 Rose Bowl.  The Rose Bowl peaked at 10.9 overnight late in the fourth quarter as Washington made a valiant comeback attempt (8:30-8:45 p.m.).

Up slightly from the USC/Penn State game two years ago (the last non-playoff version).

Despite the predictions of a few people on here, the Rose did not outdraw the semifinal games, which posted a 10.4 and 10.3.

Also, Columbus was the top market for the Rose Bowl (duh), while Birmingham and Columbus were the top two for NY6 games as a whole.
