The UCF Knights’ dominating win over the Cincinnati Bearcats on ABC Saturday Night Football was the highest-rated primetime game of the week, delivering a 2.3 overnight number. The average number of viewers was 3.1 million viewers.

The rating for the Knights’ 23rd consecutive win topped the broadcast competition by 15%, leading to ABC/ESPN earning the highest-rated primetime game in the sport for the 10th time in 12 weeks this season, according to ESPN public relations.

Orlando and Cincinnati were the two highest-rated markets for ABC Saturday Night Football, delivering an 11.1 and 10.6 respectively.

In Orlando, the local rating is the market’s best for a ESPN/ABC game this season. The 11.1 rating also ties for the 2nd-highest rated UCF regular season game ever in Orlando with South Florida Black Friday game last season. UCF’s home game vs. South Carolina in 2013 still is the highest-rated UCF game in the Orlando market with an 11.5 rating.

Some more good news for American Conference: In Cincinnati, the local rating notably surpassed the market’s rating for the Ohio State-Maryland game earlier in the day.
