Would Kentucky vs. Duke/Louisville be highest rated...

Honestly, a UK-Duke match up could very well be the highest rated game ever. With a UK-Louisville game, I just don't see it drawing in enough viewers from other parts of the country to be one of the highest rated ever.

UK and Dukes brands

It would be built up like a damn monster movie.
 
it could be purely bc of the 40-0 storyline


that '79 title game is a high bar to meet, though
 
I agree with the person saying UK - Duke would be the bigger draw. Duke is better than Louisville and Duke is the better program, plus a bigger draw.

Isn't the highest rated game in the 70's?
 
The magic Larry game had 35 million. Our game last year was 24. Maybe, maybe an undefeated kentucky could get there. Hasn't been over thirty in twenty years.
 
UK v Duke would likely be the highest rated of all time, UK v Louisville would just be so so, Louisville just isn't a national brand that casual watchers of the sport are drawn to like UK and Duke.
