#2 Texas vs Oklahoma
The Red River Rivalry is always one of the most-viewed games of the season, and if not for the competitive Ohio State vs Oregon matchup, it would have led the week. The game had 7.63 million viewers but did not reach as high peaks as the Oregon vs Ohio State game because it was not as competitive.
No. 1 Texas retained its top ranking by defeating the Oklahoma Sooners 34-3. Although Oklahoma has dominated the matchup recently, Texas dominated this game.
#3 South Carolina vs Alabama
After Alabama lost 40-35 to Vanderbilt the previous Saturday, six million fans tuned in to see if the Crimson Tide would lose again. Although South Carolina kept the game competitive and led heading into the fourth quarter. However, Alabama came back to win 27-25.
The highest-viewed game of the previous week had 5.29 million viewers, so all three of these games would have led the week.
