I think there is a pseudo bell curve in blowouts in the NFL or in college between ranked teams.

14-0 is still pretty good
21-0 you might start scrambling for a remote
28-0 change the channel
35-0 insult the losing team and then go back to what you're watching
42-0/49-0 check how much time is left and guess the final score
56-0 holy crap, will they break 60?

Good point. If the game gets bad enough, it turns into a train wreck effect, when you want to keep watching just to see how bad it turns out.
