Published:
Outside of a few spicy early-season games, the most-watched college football games of the 2015 season have featured big-name teams in pivotal conference matchups.
For example, the highest-rated SEC games are LSU-Alabama (6.3) and Ole Miss-Alabama (4.6). Those were the two most crucial games in determining the West Division in 2015, unless Auburn can pull off another miracle on The Plains.
Still, nothing could top seeing coach Urban Meyer’s Ohio State team topple. The Buckeyes fell to the Michigan State Spartans yesterday evening in a thriller.
