There was a LOT of competition for that same timeslot on better networks.
FSU v Clemson ABC 6.71M
OU v Cincinnati FOX 2.17M
Rutgers v Michigan BTN 1.94M
Virginia Tech v Marshall ESPN2 319k
WKU v Troy ESPNU - 29k
I would not expect SMU to beat the first two, as they are major networks and good teams. Michigan is just...Michigan.
OU v Tulsa wk3 on ESPN2 had 641k - were those numbers primarily for Tulsa or OU
Tulane (last year's Cinderella) v USM wk3 Sat 4 pm ESPNU 53k
La Tech v SMU wk1 ESPNU Sat 12 72k
Just keep winning and the numbers and recognition will increase - see Tulane last year. And its network, opponents, competition, and time - all those come into play for ratings.

Posted: Wed Sep 27, 2023 8:19 am11 a.m. kickoff. That means, 11 a.m. central, 10 a.m. Mountain and 9 a.m. Pacific. Numbers are going to be lower for those games. That's actually a pretty good number considering the feed, the competition and the time slot.

Many — most? — of them were gone really early

Posted: Wed Sep 27, 2023 11:02 amYou could also look at this way. TCU likes to claim they were the reason for the huge audience against CO. First game for Deion - I'm sure everyone tuned in for TCU. 
So where were all their fans when we played?
CO v TCU 9/2 12pm FOX 7.26M - This game dominated the narrative and the eyes that day. And it turned out to be a competitive game. Only FSU v LSU that night 7:30 ABC 9.17M beat it.
But there was virtually no competition
Northwestern v Rutgers CBS 2.68M
Virginia v Tennessee ABC 2.46M
Arkansas St v Oklahoma ESPN 970K
and then there was SMU
La Tech v SMU wk1 ESPNU 72k - no hype, bad network, never stood a chance.
