Saturday night has traditionally been a grave yard, worst ratings of the week. Outside of LSU and a couple of other schools, most college games were played during the day. The move to prime time network games is a relatively recent development. You will not the most watched game this year was at 230.

If you step out of the LSU bubble, all but a couple of schools always played during the day. Michigan didn't even ave lights until not that long ago.

Probably for the same reason there's never anything to watch on Friday nights as well. Most viewers have 2 off nights a week with no work the next day, and that's when people tend to go out, whether it's to dinner, visit friends/family, shopping, drinking, fornicating, etc. The bottom line is that the number of TV sets turned on during the primetime slots on Friday and Saturday is much lower than the other 5 nights.
