FSU ended up with 49.97M reported viewers on the season. This doesn't include the southern miss game as that was unreported due to it being on ACCN. FSU's least watched game was vs. north alabama with 1.33M (although it probably generated the most social media views sadly 
).
Average viewership on the season was 3.84M including recording southern miss as a zero score. this is a 190% increase from 2022 largely aided by FSU's games being mostly on network TV and ESPN vs the ACCN.
FSU had 6 games that recorded over 4M viewers, a true benchmark.
FSU's 3.84M average in 2023 would have placed it squarely in the top 5 in 2022.

I was just compiling some data after seeing Brett McMurphy's post on X. I took the current Top 10 in the AP Poll along with 6 popular teams out of the Top 10 and compiled the season data.

FSU 30.64 million viewers in 7 games (S Miss -no numbers) 4.38 million on avg. 9.17 mil peak vs lsu. Low, 2.09 mil vs WF.
CU 7.01 million viewers in 3 games (not getting credit for 6.71 million vs FSU) avg 2.34 mil. 4.39 million peak vs duke in week 1. Low 642 thousand vs NC ST.
NC 9.835 million viewers in 5 games. 1.97 million avg. Peak vs SC 3.4 mil. 788 thousand vs VA.
EVERBODY ELSE IN THE CURRENT ACC - 11 teams. 22.36 million viewers. 22 games. Avg 1.02 per game. Peak Miami vs Tex A & M 4.02 mil. Peak in conference game 1.89 mil Louisville/NC St. Low OOC, VA vs JM 119k. Low in conference, 332 thousand GT/WF. Only 3 games of 22 over 2 mil. 9 of 22 under 500k.
Notre Dame with ACC opponents only. 15.26 million viewers. 4 games. 3.82 million viewers on avg. 5.32 mil peak vs Duke.
So FSU 30 million viewers, NC 10 million, Clemson 7 million, ND 15 million, avg of all 11 other acc teams 2 million.
FSU 30 million, total ACC viewership (excluding ND games but including Clemson and NC) 70 million.
43% of the people who have watched ACC games this year (not counting ND games since they aren't in the ACC but including NC/CU) were watching a game that included FSU.
FSU's ONE Game vs LSU was nearly 1/2 of all the ACC games combined of the other 11 programs not counting CU/NC/ND.
Not ONE ACC game with 2 ACC teams facing each other (excluding the big 4 possible leavers) drew more than 1.9 million. Again, FSU's worst game was vs WF 2.09 mil.

Games not counted in the Neilson ratings not included.So you have the most famous hall of fame all American alumnus of FSU and Florida State at the top of the most television views so far this season in college football.Above all the heavy weights of college footballNext time Paul finebaum tries to tell you that FSU is not that valued or even just the third most valued program in the ACC just send him this. He’s either a liar or a fool. And if he speaks for the SEC, they’re idiots too.I posted this for those who question FSU as a national brand. Here come the excuses.Wake forest .65 (2) who thinks it should get the same tv money as FSU.ACC games not including FSU 29.22 million (19 games)SEC games not including Alabama, Georgia or FSU - 31.74 million in 16 games.FSU 19.36 in 3 games.Seriously, Finebaum is trying to convince me that ithe SEC doesn’t need a program that is averaging 6.4 million viewers per game when the Sec less it’s top two programs and the FSU game is averaging less than 2 million per game. Give me a break. Sell that somewhere else.Most of the programs in cfb have less television viewers all season, then FSU had versus Boston College.
FSU is lapping the ACC and dominating rival programs with strong TV numbers
The No. 5 Seminoles are off to a 4-0 start, beating the likes LSU and Clemson along the way to put together one of the nation’s best résumés to date. National intrigue about this FSU team and its bouts with blue-blood programs is reflected in television numbers.
According to Sports Media Watch, FSU was part of the No. 3 most-watched game of this past weekend as the Seminoles’ battle at Clemson dominated the noon slot with 6.71 million viewers. Only afternoon kick Colorado at Oregon (10.03 M) and Top 5 matchup Ohio State at Notre Dame (9.98 M) drew better audiences. This strong Week 4 showing comes after FSU opened the season with a whopping 9.17 viewers against LSU.
Even FSU’s sleepy noon squeaker at Boston College drew 3.48 M in Week 3, the fifth-best numbers of that week.
Only the Coach Prime-led phenomena at Colorado has drawn more viewers the first month of the season.
With 19.36 million viewers in three games (numbers from Southern Miss contest were not available at the website), FSU has markedly outdrawn its two in-state rivals Miami and Florida for the four combined games they have listed on SMW (12.67 million between UF vs. Tennessee, Texas A&M vs. Miami, UF at Utah, and McNeese State at UF).
If you take the highest-rated game each week involving an ACC team aside from FSU, you get NC State at Virginia (1.59 M), Pitt at West Virginia (2.41 M), Texas A&M at Miami (4.02 M), and Clemson at Duke (4.39) you still have 6.95 million less views than what FSU has had in one fewer game.
