The LSU-Louisville game from June 17 posted a 0.6 rating on the Nielsen scale. That's less than 800,000 people tuning in for that game. All but one bowl game last year had better viewership ratings.


That's somewhat irrelevant to the OP. He wasn't asking which accomplishment was more widely-received and acknowledged by the general population, he was asking which feat was more impressive in terms of the nature of the sport.

football is still the answer to the OP. it is just accentuated by the fact that not a lot of sports fans nation wide watch the CWS. otherwise, we should be discussing track, swimming, and gymnastics.

They are directly linked when asking for people's opinion of each as their view of the sport will be a a deciding factor.

Don't believe me? Start the same thread but include Arkansas's track dynasty...

If so few people care, then how can it be so impressive? I wouldn't even know who was in the championship round of the CWS if it wasn't for the fact I was browsing this board last night. No one gives a flying flip about college baseball. That fact alone makes anything that happens in the sport less impressive than football.

All of the major schools pump millions of dollars into football while giving substantially less money to their baseball programs. What the SEC has done in football is much more impressive due to the fact that it's the sport schools around the country care about the most.
