WISCONSIN vs. NEBRASKA "the showdown"
Saturday night college football showcased some of the top teams in the nation. Wisconsin entered the season as a favorite to win the Big 10, after a star studded performance last season that left Quarterback Russell Wilson starting for the Seattle Seahawks. They opened the season as everyone expected with a win, but got off to a slow start in a week two matchup with Oregon State and became a victim of "overlooking an opponent. Now they have gotten back on track and our ready for a week five show down with the Nebraska Cornhuskers who entered the game ranked number 22 in the nation. This matchup should have provided for excellent ratings and a big night of football. The ratings of this game according to TVbythenumbers were 1.2 million watching which was actually a step down from the last weeks 1.8 million. Ratings are the audience measurement systems developed by the Nielson company. This was an effort to determine the audience size and composition of television programming in the U.S. On the other hand, a share is the percentage of television sets in use tuned to the program. The share number for this given game was 4 million. These ratings and shares were the highest of the night and earned ABC the top spot for the evening. In this crazy comeback performance the Nebraska Cornhuskers edged the Wisconsin Badgers on a late 4th quarter field goal after trailing by as much as 17 points throughout the game.
