College football is the best sport of them all. There’s no denying that.

Sure, the NFL is bigger from a ratings perspective, but, college football is growing in that department, too. It’s been recognized over the first month of the season that noon games on FOX (featuring Big Ten teams) have drawn massive ratings when compared to last year.

FOX has implemented this strategy of putting its biggest game of the day right at noon ET. It’s a strategy that, again according to the ratings, has worked. But overall, what about CFB in general? What about FOX as a whole?

It’s all headed in the right direction this season:

FOX has done an awesome job, but it’s not just FOX. It’s college football altogether.

Again, the best sport is gaining in popularity. You can’t go against the numbers.
