The Big Ten came back in a huge way these last couple of weeks and it’s not just the game action that has been great. The conference accounts for three of the college football season’s five largest TV audiences.

Georgia-Alabama is No. 1 on the list but coming in at No. 2 is the Ohio State-Penn State game from this past weekend. It averaged a 3.45 rating and had 6.53 million viewers on ABC, according to Sports Media Watch.

Another Ohio State game is also in the top five as their game against Nebraska is at No. 3. It had 6.18 million viewers on FOX.

The last game in the top five actually comes in at No. 5 and that’s the Michigan-Minnesota game from October 24th. That season opener was on ABC when Michigan won, 49-24.

It’ll be interesting to see if any other games crack the top five before the season’s end. One game that has the potential to crack it is this week’s Michigan-Indiana game. It’s at Noon ET and will be televised on FS1.
