That was enough to make it the most-watched game of the weekend. Wisconsin throttling Michigan was the second most-watched game of last weekend.

As I always say, you know America is rolling whenever the college football TV ratings are through the roof. That’s just a fact.

There was also a little bit of extra intrigue surrounding ND’s game against Boston College. Coming off a monster win over Clemson, the Fighting Irish had to play a very tough BC team.
