If we look at what robin said...
"American Idol does Super Bowl type ratings numbers"
If you define 'type' as "exact numbers", then the super bowl does better. *(not supported by definition of word)
If you define 'type' as "unprecedented high numbers", then they are both the same type. **
**American Heritage Dictionary
