Jay, do you say the low ratings were not a surpise due to the matchup being too regional in nature. Is it possible a game featuring two offenses with limitations could be part of the reason as well?

There was also some talk around the office of the possibility that since the game was on ESPN, this helped generate the low rankings. People pointed out that not all of America has extended cable and that many past Championship games were on ABC.

Not making a case either way and don't know the validity of the argument, but curious as to whether this made a difference or not.

Just say no to rematch.

A lot of people that were sick and tired of hearing about how great the SEC was this year. Personally, I didn't want to watch a SEC West game being pawned off as a national championship game. BCS title games should be for conference champs IMHO.

This had as much to do with ESPN having the game as who was in it. It's pretty comical that a sport that is not supposed to pay its athletes puts its championship game on pay television.

It was on ESPN last year...and there was a 14% decrease from last year. If the same amount of people did not watch the game, it was not because it was on ESPN...twas the match up.

Sure it wasn't on ABC?

Very sure...I watched it in 3D...so it had to be on ESPN to be on ESPN 3D.

It's still bull____ that they put on a pay station when they won't pay the players who play in it.

That is ironic, if not iconic, almost moronic.

Living in another part of the country gives me a little perspective. Everyone here openly recognized that LSU and Bama were the two best teams in the country. And I work with a bunch of football loving guys, but no one talked at all about getting together to watch the game.
