Most watched CFB games, Week 5:
Bama-UGA (ABC): 10.4M
Oregon-PSU (NBC): 8.8M
LSU-Ole Miss (ABC): 6.7M
Ohio St-Wash. (CBS): 5.2M
FSU-Va. (ESPN): 4.4M (Friday)
ND-Arkansas (ABC): 4.3M
USC-Illinois (FOX): 4.1M
.... if anyone is still wondering if Florida State is a marquee brand. The FSU-UVA game outdrew a Top 25 Big 10 matchup between USC and Illinois. It was also the highest-rated Friday night game in history. I know it was a standalone game, but it's not like college football fans are typically watching Friday games. that's not a viewing habit that's been formed. And yet FSU, playing an unranked (at the time) team, outdrew big, bad mighty USC.
