CBS' college ratings up
Thanks to an exciting Southeastern Conference season, including several LSU games, CBS' college football ratings averaged a 3.5, up 13 percent from last year. The season was capped by a 5.9 rating for LSU's victory over Tennessee in the SEC final. Despite a strong finish, ABC's telecast ratings were down 15 percent to a 3.9 average. ESPN's and ESPN2's telecast ratings were flat from last year, although ESPN2's household audience grew by 5 percent. ESPN averaged a 2.1 (2 million households) and ESPN2, a 1.1 (1 million households).
