The AutoZone Liberty Bowl between Texas A&M and West Virginia drew 3.3 million viewers on ESPN, making it the most-watched Liberty Bowl in four seasons.

12/29/2014 Texas A&M 45 - West Virginia 37 51,282
12/31/2010 UCF 10 - Georgia 6 51,231
Terrible ticket sales =/= Terrible ratings. Those two games had some of the best Liberty Bowl ratings ever. Also, we are talking about bowls that don't matter. New years 6 bowls and Tier 1 bowls are chosen based on field performance. They select the best teams for those bowls.

Miss State going orange over Cotton was also not maximizing ratings, and the ticket sales were terrible.
In non playoff years, The Orange bowl will only select a SEC or Big Ten team, or Notre Dame. Miss St had no choice but to go to the Orange bowl and face Gatech. The College Football committee & conference contracts determines New Year's bowl participants.
