In watching the game I noticed Navy's #5 coming from the opposite side catching our guys. Thankfully he was a little late each time. At least Navy had one bright spot.

We have been a Nielsen family in the past, and we were invited to do so again starting last month, but declined. Nielsen ratings are just a survey of a certain sample size of households, and then they project those views across the population.

They have devices for cable and satellite services, and plug-ins for browsers. Some providers (Netflix, YouTube.tv, Hulu, etc.) insert tags into their code that send data directly to Nielsen when programs are streamed. They also ask that you keep a viewing journal -- what you watch, when, for how long, on what service, live or recorded etc. The paper journal is a pain, which is why we said no this time around.

My family did the Nielsen thing 3 or 4 years ago. There was nothing attached to any devices. We had a paper viewing log for each of our TVs where you write down what you watched for the entire week, and whether it was live or on DVR. They paid us like $7 in cash.

That is in the statistics field.

What I don't know is how they determine the numbers. I watched part of the Memphis State game on Saturday, but only because I was interested in an upset, and when I saw there there wasn't going to be one, then I turned it off because I had no skin in this game.

I would like to understand how they come up with the viewer's numbers. It seems to me like it would be difficult to find out for certain how many viewers there are. Just because I watched part of the game, does that figure in. I'm not understanding how they calculate, because I don't believe they can tell what program I'm watching, can they?

I've read a bit on the process and it seems like, outside of streaming services, viewers are projected based on companies, such as Neilsen, that select a subset of groups and may use a device fitted to TV sets.

My question to that is who are these people? I've never known one person who mentioned they were given such a device to be attached to their TV in all my life. In this day and age, I'd be surprised anyone would cooperate just on their own without any incentive.

I know in the late 1960's, early 1970's, we got a poll sent to our family at random from CBS to hand record a log for a whole week of what one member of the household watched that week and it didn't matter if others watched other shows. They didn't want to know what was watched by a household, but by one person in that household.

I've always been suspect of the numbers provided on viewership because I don't believe in the methods they use to procure that data are accurate.

Despite Sportsmediawatch's prediction, I was expecting a whole lot more from a country starving for sports. It was sad to see in the light that BYU's games usually do exceptionally well.

https://kslsports.com/441629/byu-navy-t ... labor-day/?

The game got 1.145M viewes. Was hoping for 3+.

However Sportsmediawatch prediction:

In ordinary times, the three-day Labor Day weekend marks the return of college football, with a full slate of games Saturday and primetime games Sunday and Monday. Not the case this year. Following a smattering of low-wattage games on Saturday, the Labor Day night game is the kind of matchup that would ordinarily air on CBSSN, or maybe ESPN2 after 10 PM ET. BYU and Navy are at least familiar names, but ratings figure to plunge from last year’s 3.3 for Notre Dame-Louisville. One bright side: in this ratings environment, anything above a 1.0 is pretty solid. Prediction: 1.5.”
