CONCLUSION:
In the short term, there is no correlation between win% and tv viewers. Over the long haul, probably, but not in the immediate season. Folks watch the biggest brands, and brand are established over many years.
The cumulative winning percentages can be simplified into groups:
A – Clemson & SMU
B – Louisville, Miami & NC State
C – Pitt, Duke, Wake & FSU
D – UNC, GT, Syracuse & UVa
E – Cal, VT, BC & Stanford
The viewership tiers are also noticeable:
A – FSU, Clemson & Miami
B – GT, UNC & Louisville
C – Pitt, NC State, Syracuse & Stanford
D – UVa, Duke, VT, Cal & Wake
E – BC & SMU

Here is a detailed article from SB Nation that projects Florida State is doing fine so far in revenues with the new conference formula.
During a Board of Trustees meeting on Wednesday, Florida State athletic director Michael Alford shared projected revenue figures based on the ACC’s new revenue-sharing model, with the numbers showing that Florida State is anticipating bringing in the largest media distribution in the conference—approximately $11.8 million more annually than an equal-sharing model would provide.
FSU’s projected $44.9 million distribution, while the highest in the ACC, still trails the average payouts of both the SEC ($72.4 million per school in 2024-25) and the Big Ten (approximately $63.2 million per school in 2023-24).
FSU ranked second in the ACC in total 2025 football viewership with 29.7 million viewers, leading the conference in average audience at 4.0 million viewers per game. Alford said that a targeted marketing investment with outside consultants helped drive a 24% increase in viewers, which is projected to generate roughly $1.5 million in additional media distributions in FY26 and $4.6 million over five years.
....
Alford drew a distinction between the $20.5 million revenue share cap (which he says FSU is spending to the limit) and athlete endorsement deals, which he described as effectively uncapped provided they clear the NCAA’s NIL GO system and meet a valid business purpose and range-of-compensation standard.
