SEC Title Game Audience Down, But CBS Up For Season

CBS on Saturday drew 11.09 million viewers for Alabama’s 54-16 win over Florida, marking the best conference title game audience this season, but also the lowest figure for an SEC Championship since ’10, when Auburn-South Carolina drew 10.09 million viewers. Alabama-Florida was down 13% from the same matchup last season, and down 13% from Alabama-Missouri in ’14. The complete package of SEC games on CBS this season averaged 5.66 million viewers, up 1% from 5.6 million viewers last year and high enough to be the best college football package for the eighth straight season.
