The good news for Week 10 (Oct. 7) is we got another 5 million viewer game in Oregon-Ohio State. It's OSU's fifth of the season (Texas, Iowa, Indiana, USC, Oregon).

The bad news is it lost badly to Alabama-LSU in its time slot (they got 8.86M).

Had this game had been a FOX Big Nooner not only does it win the time slot but it likely picks up viewers not going against Alabama-LSU. When the Big Ten gets a big game it can't go head to head with a CBS big game.

Much lije all Franklin wins that was not a big game.
