Regional competitors. Or the country has Bama fatigue.

You pick.

Sounds like southern football fans will watch no matter who is playing. The rest of the country, not so much.

They missed a helluva game.

Well LSU folks started a few threads in the last week or so saying they wouldn't be watching.

I think it's just Clemson. If it had been Bama/Oklahoma, I'd lay money that the ratings would have been much better. Clemson/MSU? Even worse than Bama/Clemson.

There has been almost zero hype for the title game compared to what there was for the NY6 bowl games.

It was waaaaaaay too long a layover between the last bowl game and the Championship game to the point that most people kinda forgot about it.

I didn't even remember it was on until the 4th quarter.

Lump y'all in with all the Aubs and it could take up a large chunk.

Last years NC game was the highest rated game in ESPN's history of course it is going to be down. It still got a 15.8 rating which is the third highest rating in ESPN history. For two teams from one region of the country that is not that bad.

You live in the OT Lounge. Y'all are under a mushroom over there regarding sports.

I hope the playoffs are never in the business of creating ratings opposed to simply finding the two best teams and letting the chips fall where they may...

Going into the game, 8 of the previous 9 national title winners were from the Southeast. Given that both teams in this year's game were Southeastern teams, it's not all that surprising that the rest of the country collectively said "to hell with it."

Bama has gamed the system and it's become boring unless you are a Bama fan.

It's great, really. I'm glad to hear it. The less interested the other parts of the country are the better the southern football brand gets!
