I agree with you, Aaron, for this reason:
Not only will you remember it in 20 years, but MILLIONS of CFB fans will remember it tomorrow.
I have no idea how many fans watched the game live on BTN, but I think 'hundreds of thousands' isn't unrealistic. I assume most BTN games may have viewerships of 250k, 500K or more depending on the teams playing.
I'll guess maybe 250K watched it. Maybe 500K might watch Wisconsin, UofM, OSU, PSU, etc. vs. an OOC opponent on BTN.
Then our game got play across the entire panorama of B1G games today which blankets the entire Midwest.
I didn't watch WMU/UofM but I'm sure those who did saw a lot of our game.
Can't do much better than to beat a B1G team which went to a bowl game in 2017.
