I can’t say I’m surprised at all that the TV ratings for the game were so high. Everybody, and I mean everybody, in the world of college football was locked in for this one.
Did I expect to get blown out by the Buckeyes? No, but I did expect the whole country to tune in. There hadn’t been a more anticipated game through Saturday in the sport.
It might have been a lopsided victory, but it’s just further proof college football is king.

The game that might honestly top it is when Alabama and LSU meet in a couple weeks. Other than that game, I’m not sure there’s any match-up the rest of the way that will have more energy and hype around it.
Congrats to the Buckeyes for balling out against the Badgers. They 100% earned that way. As for Wisconsin, it’s embarrassing and time to do some serious soul searching.
