Ohio State-Wisconsin tops CFB TV ratings for Week 9

The Ohio State-Wisconsin showdown proved to be a big-ticket game over the weekend.
Week 9 was far from dull with plenty of big games on the slate. In the Big 12, TCU dominated a Texas squad that has faltered heavily after hanging with LSU earlier in the year. Oklahoma also lost a stunner, getting upset by Kansas State for the Sooners’ first loss of the season.
In the SEC, Auburn’s trip to Death Valley against LSU proved to be a close and interesting game. Arkansas’ trip to take on Nick Saban and Alabama was not.
Despite some big games and interesting storylines around the country, no game could hold a candle to the Buckeyes and Badgers battling it out on a rainy day in Columbus. Not even Notre Dame-Michigan in the Big House could compete.
