re: Least watched NC ever

I think you can certainly place a good bit of the blame on COVID-19 and the fact that fewer people are watching sports on television for whatever reason.

But the fact that BOTH Semifinal games drew bigger audiences this year despite neither being particularly competitive shows that viewers are also suffering from Bama fatigue or at least the fact that the same few teams seem to always be playing and there just isn't any intrigue anymore.

In the previous six years of the Playoff, the Championship Game has always attracted more viewers than the average of the two semifinal games.... by between 4.2 and 9.1 million viewers each and every time. The average has been +6.5 million viewers. But this year, for the first time ever, not only the average but both Semifinal individually attracted more viewers than the Championship.... you can't blame that on COVID.
