The 10 most-watched college football games of the 2021 regular season
From a television standpoint, not all college football games are created equal. A handful of contests each year deliver ratings that dwarf the rest, and it is usually not that hard to predict which teams will be involved.
When the Ohio State Buckeyes take the field, you can be sure that millions of college football fans across America will be tuning into watch one of the sport’s most storied powers compete. Three games involving Ohio State during the 2021 regular season were among the 10 most-watched games, and there are no signs of that trend changing anytime soon.
Of course, large and passionate college fanbases run well beyond the confines of Columbus, Ohio. The Alabama Crimson Tide also regularly dominates the TV ratings, which should not come as any shock considering the Crimson Tide have won six national titles dating back to the 2009 season, which is by far the most of any team in that stretch.
Let’s not forget schools like Michigan and Notre Dame, either. If you are looking for ratings juggernauts, you will have a few schools to choose from. But which schools did the best at drawing in viewers this fall?
Below is a look at the 10 most-watched games from the 2021 regular season. The below list does not include conference championships games.
