Tennessee on top of TV ratings third time this season
Team 120 continues to be one of the most popular squads in college football.
For the third time in 2016, the most-watched college football game of the weekend featured the Volunteers, as more than 6.5 million people watched the top 10 showdown between Tennessee and Texas A&M in college station:
Tennessee-A&M (CBS): 6.55M
FSU-Mia (ABC): 5.54M
Ala-Ark (ESPN): 4.44M
Notre Dame-NC St (ABC): 3.72M
Texas-Oklahoma (FS1) 2.79M— Sports TV Ratings (@SportsTVRatings) October 11, 2016
Tennessee and Virginia Tech’s meeting in “The Battle at Birstol” was a ratings winner for ESPN in Week 2. UT’s 38-28 comeback win over Florida was on top of the ratings for CBS in Week 4.
One would expect the combination of Uncle Verne and the Vols to score with viewers again on The Third Saturday in October as the Volunteers host No. 1 Alabama.
And all three of those games have been featured on College Gameday… ESPN knows what they’re doing.
Vols v Tide should be another big number in the ratings department. I’m sure the networks like UT this year, because viewers are sticking around to see if Vols can complete their, now patented, comeback.
Not when it’s over at halftime.
Hansel and Gretel….aren’t you just a sweetheart! All style no substance!
Especially because it has NOT been over at halftime. Might not beat the Red team this year, but sure wanna see them sweat!
Go Vols.
“Heart Attack 120” LOL I figure hospitals here in Knoxville must be getting LOTS of fresh patients this season.
GBO!!!
Oh wait, The Vols think people are watching them to see them win?
Most everyone is watching to assure they lose!
Well then there has been a lot of disappointed viewers. I figured the trolls would come out after UT’s next loss. Hate them or Love them the Vols are relevant again and you better get you to seeing them in big time matchups and TV slots.
