Here are the # of TV Viewers for all of the BCS National Championship Games.
I would be surprised if there aren't at least 24 million viewers to tune in for the BCS Championship game. There have been four BCS national championship games that drew in less than 24 million viewers. All of those games had even less appeal than a LSU/Alabama rematch. LSU vs. Ohio State was just a terrible National Championship Game matchup and was on fox. USC vs. Oklahoma was an epic blowout. That game was over by halftime. LSU vs. Oklahoma was played on a Sunday on the same day that NFL playoff games were taking place. I'm sure a lot of people had their football fix after watching seven hours of watching football. There was also the controversy with USC being #1 in both polls and being left out of the national championship game. Miami vs. Nebraska was a matchup that nobody cared about. Nebraska got destroyed by Colorado in the last game of the season. It felt more like a coronation than a game to decide the national championship.

Problem is they are tired of the SEC, They have seen this game on Novemeber 5th, and most(outside SEC) were not entertained then as well. I travel quite a bit outside the southeast and that is what pretty much I hear all the time
