the fact that people still push this narrative is Very Sad!


there is a much, much simpler explanation:

Week 1, LSU Miami is *literally* the only college football game on Sunday. So unless you were tuning into Winnipeg vs Saskatchewan CFB, you were probably watching LSU Miami if you like football.


Week 3, still pretty young football season. Ohio St TCU may have gotten gameday, but many feel that the LSU Auburn conference opener for both teams was more justified. The 2:30 slot that day only had one other game worth tuning in...BYU vs Wisconsin, but BYU entered that game unranked whereas LSU auburn was a ranked vs ranked 2 top 15 teams that have produced ridiculous results that even a casual college football fan would remember (who could forget last years 9 point halftime deficit or 2016s last second pass or 2015s Fournette coming out party?)


TL;DR - there are much simpler explanations than yours, you idiot.
