I don't care which one is "bigger" but the statement above is false. The IB has mudholed the Game in TV ratings here recently. It is a huge game annually and people from outside our little state do clearly care about it.

TV ratings vary throughout time. When two teams are highly ranked, people watch. Not rocket science. When one team is down and the other team is up, TV ratings falls. Not rocket science.

Haven't the recent OSU-UM games been at noon? TV time slots are all about getting eyeballs on games, and that's why the SEC and recently the IB has owned prime time kick off.

Not even close to true. Look at ratings in the state of Alabama, or the southeast in general versus the rest of the country. Outside of this area, no one cares beyond it being another game of over-hyped football. As Alabama continues their decline, this rivalry will fall back to where it belongs.
