Auburn-Alabama Game Most-Viewed College Football Game of Season

Filed under: , ,

Apparently, not everyone was tied up in shopping malls for Black Friday. Or all the folks who bought big-screen televisions in the morning got them home and hooked up in time in the afternoon to watch football.

How else to explain CBS' gleeful reporting that Friday's SEC showdown between Auburn and Alabama was the most-watched college football game of the season?

The network said the game drew a 7.5 rating and a 17 share of the audience in the nation's largest markets. That's a 56 percent rise from last year, when the same teams met on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. CBS reported that the game peaked with a 10.6 rating and 21 share in the final quarter-hour from 6:15-6:30 p.m

The rating is the percentage of total households watching a particular program at a given time, while the share is the percentage of homes with television sets on at a given time.
