The Ohio State Buckeyes and TTUN delivered 18.4 million viewers for The Game this past weekend, despite being a one-sided 27-9 victory at the "Big House" that felt out of reach for the Wolverines by the third quarter.
Per FOX Sports, the 2025 edition of "The Game" was the second-most-watched college football game ever on FOX. Two years ago was the highest-rated, when both the Buckeyes and Wolverines entered the game undefeated.
This year's game was a win-and-get-in for TTUN in the College Football Playoff. The Wolverines had two losses coming in, to the likely CFP-bound Oklahoma Sooners and the USC Trojans, which, like TTUN, fell just outside of contention for the 12-team field.
