It was clear from the start of the college football season that it felt a bit hollow without the Big Ten in action. The numbers seem to back that up.
Ohio State's 52-17 rout of Nebraska was the most-watched college football game of the weekend, drawing an average metered market rating of 3.7.

Columbus was unsurprisingly the top market, followed by Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Detroit (hi, Wolverines fans).
The Buckeyes will return to action next Saturday when they visit Happy Valley for a showdown against No. 18 Penn State. The game will kick off at 7:30 and be televised by ABC.
