Georgia is just such a bigger draw than Florida… 2009 being the exception.

I think there was a Tebow factor that brought in a lot of viewers. But Florida without Tebow is just not a big draw.

For those saying they're "boycotting the playoff" no you're not.

CFB's TV ratings king is in it. You'll watch.

For sure, also it was a rematch of the year's prior game. On the line was back to back titles for Tebow (his final season), Urban and UF.

And it was Saban's 3rd year with their first Heisman winner (contender at the time) playing lights out.

That game was nuts

And there you have why they were selected over deserving schools..it's all about libtard Saban crying to the libetal media and advertising dollars.
Thanks to the Gumps college football is a joke.

Actually the numbers show otherwise. Competitive games NOT involving the SEC generally bring in the highest viewership with Alabama’s appearances coming in on the lackluster side most of the time.

Highest Viewership for National Title Gamrs Since start of BCS:

2005- Texas vs USC (35.63)
2014- Ohio St vs Oregon (34.15)
2009- Alabama vs Texas (30.78)
2002- Ohio St vs Miami (29.10)
2006- Florida vs Ohio St (28.80)
2017- Alabama vs Georgia (28.44)
2010- Auburn vs Oregon (27.32)
2000- Oklahoma vs Florida St (27.20)
2008- Florida vs Oklahoma (26.77)
2012- Alabama vs Notre Dame (26.40)
2015- Alabama vs Clemson (26.18)
1998- Tennessee vs Florida St (26.10)
2013- Florida St vs Auburn (26.06)
2019- LSU vs Clemson (25.59)
2018- Clemson vs Alabama (25.28)
2016- Clemson vs Alabama (25.27)

2011- Alabama vs LSU (24.21)
2003- LSU vs Oklahoma (23.94)
2007- LSU vs Ohio St (23.07)
2021- Georgia vs Alabama (22.56)
2001- Miami vs Nebraska (21.56)
2004- USC vs Oklahoma (21.41)
2020- Alabama vs Ohio St (18.65)
2022- Georgia vs TCU (17.22)

Games involving Alabama averaged 4% below games NOT involving Alabama.

Alabama is a ratings juggernaut in the regular season. But the National Title brings in about 15 million viewers who rarely if ever watch a regular season game…. I think many of these viewers are located outside the South and the game generally benefits when other regions are included. Bama is not really a draw on this big of a stage.

It was also #1 vs. #2, 12-0 vs. 12-0, with the winner advancing to play for a national championship and the loser being left holding the check.

Will never compare to the 53.6 million who tuned in to watch Alabama and Notre Dame playing for the 1973 AP crown in the Sugar Bowl.
