I think the answer to that is the non football fans(yeah there are a few) flipped over for the between games of the Champions Classic rather than watching the playoff ratings for football. Also the start of the game probably got good ratings as the Kentucky game was a dud. It'd be interesting if we had the quarter hour ratings.

Anyone know if FS1 is airing Inside the Big East this year? In past years it was on once a week (I think usually on Sunday's but I normally DVR'd it so not quite sure). I wasn't able to remember if they had started the show in November in year's past or if it started airing once BE Conference season started.

Great year for FS1, rating up while ESPN is down. FS1 was better than ESPN2 in primetime but slightly lower overall.
