ESPN aired the three highest-rated college football bowl games on Thursday, Dec. 28, a day in which four bowl games were televised across all networks.  The Camping World Bowl featuring Virginia Tech vs. Oklahoma State (5:15 p.m. ET, ESPN) earned a 2.8 overnight and the Valero Alamo Bowl between Stanford vs. TCU (9 p.m., ESPN) earned a 2.7 overnight.

The Camping World Bowl was up 8% from last year’s same game (then-named Russell Athletic Bowl), while the Alamo Bowl rating was 170% higher than  FS1’s airing of the Holiday Bowl (9 p.m.).

The Military Bowl between Virginia and Navy (1:30 p.m., ESPN) earned a 1.4 overnight, the third highest rated game of the day.
