With such abysmal ratings, do you thing ESPN knights for an All-SEC BCSCG again?

I say no.
In fact, I would bet you see them lobby to make the BCS add a "conference winner only" stipulation.
Not bagging on Bama or LSU, or commenting on who deserved to be there, but it is what it is. . .and ESPN can't be happy about it.
Thoughts?

I don't care what they do.
I will however offer to pay them to not have Mussberger do any more games. I cannot stand listening to that guy.

No. I don't think it "is what it is." How many votes did ESPN have in the two polls? They were spot on with almost everything they said. I'd bet my life that OSU getting to play during Championship weekend swayed more votes than anything ESPN had to say.

Oh and from the looks of it, we will only have to deal with the current BCS set-up for 2012 and 2013 anyways

if you want the conspiracy theory on the situation that is already available... it is obviously to ESPN's potential advantage to have a BCS NCG that made people very unhappy (even at teh cost of bad ratings for a year) because they have the inside shot at televising a new scenario like a plus one or extended playoff
So in answer to the OP - yes, they could and perhaps do something to their short term disadvantage if that means an enormous payoff down the road

Depends on the teams, regardless of conference, ESPN/ABC will probably not be "up" on the idea of a BSCMNCG containing two teams who play not to lose instead of being aggressive and going for the win.

Still butthurt, because you didnt get to play okie lite, because LSU knew what was going to happen when they played Bama again.

Norte Dame not being in a conference kinda makes the win your conference requirement pointless. That's why it's not a rule.

Put the game on ABC...you don't have these ratings. There is also a national backlash against SEC dominance right now though.

my understanding IS the game was the SECOND HIGHEST RATED CABLE show of all time behind last year's BCS Championship...
and the game was the third lowest rated BCS championship game behind a nebraska - miami and southern cal - oklahoma!
put the game on your sister station ABC
our cable bill is approximately $90 / monthly - cable and its executives deserve a kick in the balls
the low ratings rant is bullshite all things considered

My thought is that OP is a dope. All of the other BCSCGs were on ABC. The last two were on ESPN. If you put the Super Bowl on ESPN, it would be the lowest rated Super Bowl in the last 10 years, no matter who played. That's the difference between cable and network.
The last two BCSCGs were the most and second most watched cable programs of all time. That's a huge home run for ESPN.
