Ratings Review: ABC College Football Saturday

ABC's College Football Game of the Week was the strongest primetime package of the season. Most Saturday nights, it had good match ups that most college fans tuned in to watch. For Saturday nights, this is a very strong option and I am surprised that NBC and CBS have not transitioned to grab a sports property for Saturday night viewing.

For the season, ABC averaged 5.74 million viewers and a 1.8 rating in Adults 18-49, for 13 college games. Until the Pac-12 begins having better teams that con consistently compete with each other, ABC should stay as the #1 network on Saturday nights, each fall season.
