Still a worthwhile discussion in the context of what you posted versus the context of the thread. I went back to look at 2017 ratings week 11:
Miami vs Notre Dame drew 6.7M viewers
#1 Georgia vs #10 Auburn drew 7.4M (alone in the time slot)
#16 Miss St vs #2 Alabama drew 7.0M (game we were up against in the time slot)
