The 2013 and 2012 Alabama-Tennessee games were the highest rated games on TV during those particular weekends. To say no one cares is nothing but complete and utter bullshite. Since Alabama has been awesome and Tennessee has been shite, the game has appeared on the following channels:

2013: CBS Game of the Week
2012: ESPN Primetime game
2011: ESPN2 Primetime game
2010: ESPN Primetime game
2009: CBS Game of the Week
2008: ESPN Primetime game

Obviously someone other than Alabama and Tennessee fans care about it.

Bama under Saban draws big ratings against whoever they're playing. 2008 is when they started being a contender under Saban and people tune in when you're a contender.
