They probably get better ratings with CSI. College football is insanely popular in the south. It's a niche sport everywhere else.

Money and ratings.

5 of the 12 most highly viewed games this year were 2:30 CBS kicks.

- Alabama-LSU
- LSU- Georgia
- Alabama-Auburn
- Auburn-LSU
- Georgia-Florida

Only 3 of the top 12 games were “prime time” slots.

Good article on it here (paywall)

I think it is fair to say the SEC has better ratings than most. But it is silly to ignore the huge ratings for major programs in other parts of the country
