It was a joke. I really don't know or care if the 2011 game was highly rated. All I know is it was the last time LSU was in it.

Just as I expected. LSU was the real culprit for the ratings disaster that was the 2012 BCSNCG. It had nothing to do with a all SEC title game.
America has no interest in coonass football.

I wonder how many turned it off at half-time, figuring Bama's offensive woes were just too much to let them come back? I considered doing it, but kept in mind that Saban is usually at his strongest in the second half. (Yeah, yeah, Camback, Kick 6, yadda yadda, but he usually is. The guy doesn't panic very often.)

That is impressive.

Hearing folks around the country talk about it afterwards, I don't think there were many people period that didn't watch it. It was televised in Russia for God's sake.

I mean.... LSU has played for 3 national titles in recent memory.
Good to know that 11 and 15 years ago is recent memory.

The ratings were right in line for the 2011national championship game.. problem was both teams from the same rating zone ..so you had 5 average ratings and 1 super ratings...with teams from 2 different zones normally you have 4 avg ratings and 2 super ratings...cfp playoffs and the great games last couple of years has increased the ratings overall and not as much a factor this past year

I think this game proved once and for all how much of an evil genius Saban really is.
For the first time ever, a team was beating him at his own game. Teams have beaten Bama before, and the road map is have an dynamic and gifted QB that can consistently convert 3rd downs and frustrate and tire the Bama defense. No one until Kirby Smart had tried to out-Alabama them since maybe 2011 and the 2012 UGA SEC Championship game, when the teams were almost mirror images of each other.
Nick Saban saw Kirby was trying to out-Bama him (and winning) so he decided to call in the exact same type of QB that usually gives his team headaches. He inflicted what had so often been his kryptonite and it worked perfectly. Tua proceeded to JFF/Cam/Knight scrambled and picked apart a defense that had trained all week for Jalen Hurts.
