For the sixth consecutive week of the college football season, “Saturday Night Football” has helped ABC win the night among households, viewers and all key male and adult demos (M18-34, M18-49, M25-54, P18-34, P18-49 and P25-54). “Saturday Night Football” has been the most-watched prime-time game each week of the 2017 college football season and the most-watched game of the week five of six weeks. On this night, ABC had aired Michigan State’s 14-10 upset win over Michigan. The television audience peaked at 8.858 million viewers as Michigan was driving for a potential game-winning touchdown (11 – 11:15 p.m.).

The Oct. 7 telecast of “Saturday Night Live”, hosted by Gal Gadot (“Wonder Woman”), musical guest Sam Smith and a special appearance by Jason Aldean, averaged 6.802 million viewers overall and a 1.76 rating in adults 18-49 – the show’s second-biggest Week 2 overall viewership in five years, trailing only the presidential election-fueled Oct. 8, 2016 (Lin-Manuel Miranda and Twenty One Pilots — 7.140 million viewers overall, 2.11 rating in adults 18-49), according to “fast official” “live plus same day” results from Nielsen Media Research.
