Notre Dame-USC Gets A Huge Rating For ESPN on ABC

by Ken, under ABC, College Football, ESPN, TV Ratings

It’s the biggest overnight rating of the 2012 college football season by far, outdistancing the previous high for the season, Alabama-LSU on CBS.

Last night, the ESPN-produced Notre Dame-USC game on ABC received a stunning 10.3 overnight rating. This from ESPN PR maven Mike Humes.

ESPN’s Darren Rovell says last night’s regular season finale for both Notre Dame and USC outpaced two BCS games from last season.

ND-USC gets a 10.3 overnight rating. How big is that? Last year’s Rose Bowl and Fiesta Bowl averaged a 9.4 overnight rating.

The previous overnight high for this season was 7.0 for the Alabama-LSU game on CBS.

One has to think that having Notre Dame in the BCS National Championship Game in January will bring monster numbers for ESPN.
