I mentioned over in the main ratings page...

Penn State-Ohio State got 7.19 million. Last year it got 9.77 million so it's way down. But 7.19 million so far is the 2nd highest Big Ten conference game number all season behind Oregon/Penn State) and looking at the rest of the Big Ten schedule, it's doubtful anything outside of OSU/UM and the Big Ten Championship will get 7 million viewers this season.

In 2026 and 2027, Penn State and Ohio State aren't scheduled to play with OSU at PSU returning to the schedule in 2028. They need to be an annual matchup. The Big Ten needs the ratings to fight against that other conference.

Its embarrassing that OSU vs a damaged PSU (lacking both HC and QB and out not only of play-off contention but bowl contention as well) almost beat the 3vs7 PSU-OU whiteout. And then both had a healthy lead on OU-Indy. There's more to the conference than just OSU, honest, but people don't care to see it.
