ESPN finished fourth on the week with is noon broadcast of Minnesota-Nebraska (2.0), and the SEC on CBS - which had won eight of 10 weeks prior to last weekend - finished fifth (1.9) with its broadcast of Arkansas and Ole Miss. It marks the first time Notre Dame on NBC defeated the SEC on CBS in the ratings since September 2013 according to SportsMediaWatch.com.
