COLUMBUS, Ohio -- This year’s edition of the Ohio State vs. Michigan rivalry was the season’s most-watched college football game on Fox Sports.

It’s also the second-highest rated game of the season trailing the LSU vs. Alabama game on CBS.

The game passed Fox’s previous highest-rated game when the Buckeyes hosted Penn State. It also gave the network’s pregame show Big Noon Kickoff its best rating ever.
