Last Saturday’s SEC Championship was the highest-rated college football game of the season, The Nielsen Co. reports. Florida's victory over Alabama on CBS drew a 9.3 rating — it was seen in 9.3 percent of the nation's households by an estimated 15.1 million viewers, making it the most watched SEC Championship ever and the highest-rated, non-bowl game since 2006.

ABC’s "Saturday Night Football" had six of the top seven games. Not surprisingly, given the way the season played out, Big 12 games dominated the top 10, with seven of the top nine broadcasts.

No sign of the ACC in the top 10, which follows:
