CBS’ SEC doubleheader topped all college football windows in Week 11, with Alabama’s OT win over LSU in primetime on Saturday leading the way with a 5.3 overnight rating. However, Alabama-LSU had competition from Ohio State-Michigan State in primetime on ABC (4.2 overnight), and CBS’ rating was down 23% compared to a 6.9 last year. That ’13 Alabama-LSU matchup also was in primetime, but only had to compete with a lower-rated Notre Dame-Pitt matchup on ABC (1.9 overnight). Meanwhile, CBS drew a 4.5 overnight for Texas A&M’s upset win over Auburn in the 3:30pm ET window, up 45% from a 3.1 for Mississippi State-Texas A&M in the same window last year. Over on ESPN, the net’s top overnight for a CFB game was a 1.9 rating earned by both the Georgia-Kentucky matchup in the 12:00pm window and Oregon-Utah in the late primetime window.
The chart below lists overnight ratings from weekend sports telecasts on broadcast TV.
