Do you think you'll get more viewers?
Gotta love LSU fans.

Translation: viewership is still lower than all three of Bama vs Clemson. Good job

Yet they ain’t done nothin since.
Viewership is good for recruiting, but you have to capitalize on it now.
I will say this though, 25 million people saw the best college football team of all time. That does help.

Network executives were debating whether the CFB National Championship Game or old re-runs of Angela Lansbury's Murder She Wrote would pull in more viewers. As an LSU football fan I'm glad they chose the CFB National Championship.

I don't care if no one else watched the game.
I did and it was glorious!

Had the nation known that Bama would be destroyed last year the viewership would have tripled! The large numbers this year was that everyone knew it was going to be a good game and wanted to see for themselves, "Joe Burrow and the Greatest Show on Turf"!

Nah... that's not really a very high number. In fact, since the creation of the BCS in 1998, this season's game between LSU and Clemson rated #15 out of 22 in terms of television ratings.
The sad truth is that America cares more when a major program from outside the Deep South is involved.... it's no coincidence that the Top 5 most watched games all involved either Ohio State or Texas.
MOST VIEWERS FOR A NATIONAL TITLE GAME (1998-2019):
1. 2005 Texas vs. USC- 35.630 million
2. 2014 Ohio State vs. Oregon- 34.148 million
3. 2009 Alabama vs. Texas- 30.776 million
4. 2002 Ohio St. vs. Miami- 29.104 million
5. 2006 Florida vs. Ohio St.- 28.795 million
6. 2017 Alabama vs. Georgia- 28.443 million
7. 2010 Auburn vs. Oregon- 27.316 million
8. 2000 Oklahoma vs. Florida St.- 27.240 million
9. 1999 Florida St. vs. Virginia Tech- 26.962 million
10. 2008 Florida vs. Oklahoma- 26.767 million
11. 2012 Alabama vs. Notre Dame- 26.380 million
12. 2013 Florida St. vs. Auburn- 26.205 million
13. 2015 Alabama vs. Clemson- 26.182 million
14. 1998 Tennessee vs. Florida St.- 26.112 million
15. 2019 LSU vs. Clemson- 25.590 million
16. 2018 Clemson vs. Alabama- 25.280 million
17. 2016 Clemson vs. Alabama- 25.266 million
18. 2011 Alabama vs. LSU- 24.214 million
19. 2003 LSU vs. Oklahoma- 23.937 million
20. 2007 LSU vs. Ohio St.- 23.069 million
21. 2001 Miami vs. Nebraska- 21.559 million

Wonder if these totals include many who may have watched on I-pads and cell phones?

Increase is due to illegals who'd stolen all of Sears TV's and watched the game on the streets of L.A.
