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.
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.

More of a true playoff system that tests many different factors of teams' strengths - namely, winning games in a variety of different ways. It's more of a test of a team's endurance and overall depth. True, there may be less room for error on the football field, but the lack of a true playoff system has the media playing a much bigger role in which teams get pinned in different bowls.

Keyword: "I" as in: you personally don't care. I'm sorry that your team isn't part of the discussion for baseball, and that may be why you are more partial to football (granted, your team is the best in football, there is no denying that).
Again, the question didn't have to do with popularity. It had to do with accomplishment on the field.
