That's the Nielsen rating. 28 million viewers tuned in to watch the national championship game. Admittedly, a much lower number than the Super Bowl. But one thing I have noticed about the NFL that is different from college. While college broadcast emphasize the coaches more than the players, NFL broadcasts seem to do the exact opposite.
You ask the man on the street who Sean Payton is, they will have no clue most of the time. Ask them who Peyton Manning, Reggie Bush, or Drew Brees is, they will be talking you up for hours.
So you honestly think more people know who Nick Saban is than Sean Payton? Seriously?

Did I say that? I think they are about equal in popularity to be honest. They will both dominate ESPN when football season starts up and get equal time on the major networks who cover football.
The average Joe on the street have probably never heard of either of them.

His scowling face has been on the cover of multiple Sports Illustrated's, as well as numerous other magazines including Forbes. He is also one of the most recognized figures in college football. His celebrity has been far greater to Sean Payton prior to the SB, and the focus on the Saints win was more on the players and the city than it was on Sean Payton. Also, I was in Seaside, FL last summer sitting at a packed wine bar right next to Sean Payton and no one in the place knew who he was. Saban would have stood out like a turd in a punch bowl.
