Clemson, ACC help ESPN, ABC set Week 1 viewership records

Clemson didn’t win on the scoreboard on Saturday, but it was part of the biggest television ratings bonanza ESPN and ABC have ever seen in the first week of college football.

The Tigers’ game against LSU last Saturday night on ABC was one of three contests that surpassed 10 million, joining Notre Dame-Miami from Sunday night and Alabama-Florida State from Saturday afternoon, the network announced on Wednesday.
