Money talks and BS walks. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that 1/9/12 was pretty low ratings outside the deep South. The media want the Final 4 to be from all over, imo.

this. the rest of the country wants a piece of the pie also. you really can't blame them and the media wants the biggest audience they can get so their ads cost more. MSU folding at the end and no real power in the east answered their prayers. MSU could beat any damn team in that playoff. but the purpose of the playoff has little to do with fielding the best 4 teams in the country. whoever thought it was is naïve.

I don't mind it. I do wish that we had an 8-team bracket, however. SEC, ACC, B1G, Big 12, and PAC 12 Champs and then some at large bids (i.e. possibly AAC, MWC, Independent, conference runner-ups, etc.).

3rd lowest in BCSC game history but still clocked a 14+. Most analysts think it had to do more w/ the rematch than the regional lean.
