Big Noon beat ESPN Gameday for the first time
Surprising considering it was a blowout. Will be interesting to see how well Auburn-Alabama did.
See Alabama-Auburn came in solid #3 for the season, behind Alabama-LSU and Ohio St.-Michigan.

Preliminary on Oregon-Utah doesn't put them particularly close to top 10.

saw prelim for LSU/Georgia has it at 13.7 M viewers, #2 game of the season.
Nothing with Big Ten game yet. Wouldn't think it beat the SEC- as Fox would have tweetstormed about it surely.

LSU-Georgia is now #2 for the season and the Ohio St-Wisconsin CCG game is #3.
Based on last year's ratings, the only bowl games that will have larger audiences than the current top 3 are the three playoff games and the Rose and Sugar bowls. It's possible that the Michigan-Alabama Citrus Bowl will also have 10 million viewers or so, though the early start time hinders that game's chances at such a large audience.

RE: 2019 College Football TV ratings top 10
Someone posted in a thread on this board a while back asking if ESPN released numbers for games streamed on ESPN+ and it was determined they didn’t. I have a question along the same lines. Does anyone know if ratings posted by the networks are all via OTA/cable, or if the game is also streamed online do those viewers get included at all? My initial impression is that they probably do not get counted, but as our streaming landscape continues to change, could we find that could change too?

Streaming has to be factored in.

ESPN's press releases report "total live audience", which adds streaming viewers to Nielsen's traditional TV numbers. E.g., https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-relea...ship-espn/
Other channels, especially those not on "traditional" TV, are all over the place on how they report streaming viewers.
Quote:Netflix, as TheWrap has reported, counts a view once 70% of a show or movie has been watched. Hulu, on the other hand, counts a view once 10% of a show — or about three minutes worth of a “Seinfeld” rerun — has been watched, according to an employee familiar with the company’s data tracking. Facebook counts a view for its Watch shows after only three seconds.
Quote:Nielsen has pushed back on Netflix’s measurements on occasion. When Netflix championed Sandra Bullock’s “Bird Box” late last year, saying a then-record 45 million accounts streamed it in its first week, Nielsen reported its metrics tracked “only” 26 million views.

That and the fact that the Alabama / Michigan game airs exactly at the same time as Auburn / Minnesota. I suspect the second will be just watched enough to hurt the final numbers of the first.

That's the most likely outcome. The most watched Citrus Bowl game since the start of the CFP had 8.8 million viewers.

Oregon/Auburn rating 4.0
Green Bay/Chicago rating last night 15.3
This shows why college football tv ratings will never reach the level of the NFL. College Football is a regional product compared to the NFL which is a national product. So to those who say college football is more popular than the NFL, you keep on living in that dream of yours.
Worldwide, soccer(futbol) trumps both college football & the NFL. However, even with all of its warts and problems, I still love college football more than I do the NFL. Truthfully, the only time I really start following the NFL is when the playoffs begin and one of my favorite teams is playing (Raiders, Falcons). If none of my favorites are playing, I just wait for the Super Bowl.

Shows the importance of good matchups. Clemson didn't make the list.
But CFP #1 to #5 other than Clemson made repeated appearances.
