CBS says the football game between Alabama-LSU in prime time Saturday night drew the best overnight television rating for any college football game this season. The top-ranked Crimson Tide's twenty nine to zero shutout victory against the Tigers earned a 6.7 TV audience rating. That was up eighty one percent from last season's 3.7 rating in prime time. CBS says the game peaked with an 8.0 rating between 9-9:30 p.m. Eastern. Alabama and LSU beat Ohio State at Penn State on Sept. 29, which drew a 5.3 rating on ABC.
