TV Ratings B1G and ACC Championship Games

A little surprised the B10 had a slightly higher ratings. I know it was on the Fox broadcast channel but still not sure how intuitive that has become to the general public as a destination for college football. It's been a few year now but still wondering how much it's taken hold. Really don't know how long it would take honestly for it to feel 2nd nature. I'm a college football fan and it doesn't hit me right away all the time the way ABC/ESPN do.

It was a closer game though.

You're correct. I came close to posting these rating to this board yesterday, but I figured it would have gotten lost in the tug-of-war regarding our new head coach. ABC's ratings are almost always higher than FOX's on Saturday night, however, it is fair to point out the FOX Saturday night games are typically a Pac-12 game that is going up against a B1G / ACC / Big 12 marquee match-up. Last week FOX (Notre Dame at Stanford) beat ABC (Oklahoma at Oklahoma State) 1.8 -- 1.4 for the first time all season. The Saturday before Thanksgiving was more typical, with ABC (Oklahoma at Baylor) beating FOX (Oregon at Stanford) 1.7 -- 0.7.
