LSU played in the three highest rated CFB games this year: Bama, UF, SCar after having the five highest viewed games last year

Did you, O clueless one, notice that up until 1/9 last year, LSU was ranked #1 and was a mostly exciting team on offense, defense, and special teams. Have you not noticed a "slight" drop-off, esp. on offense, this season?
And as for this season, the ratings aren't just about LSU in the Bama, UF, and SCar games. They bring a pretty big viewing audience themselves, plus these were good match-ups at the time, and LSU had not established itself as a pretty lack-luster offense yet (like now at season's end).

so you have zero clue on what you speak of.

I think you're missing some pretty obvious facts and playing fast and loose with reality, yourself. So quit name-calling, mr. stapuff. You're sounding dumb.

The LSU national brand, while uninteresting to you, draws national numbers for the last two seasons

Oh, and the LSU national brand? That's mine, and has been probably longer than you've been alive. The only reason I'm sporting ND right now is because I am not a Bama fan or particularly tied to cheering for SEC teams who are LSU's blood rivals; and I want to see the Irish beat the Tide. Or to put it another way, I would like to see Saban melt down, and Bama give away the MNC to a non-SEC team for the first time in... how many years? It would do the LSU Nation good to see that happen in front of a national audience.
