I was told it would be the lowest number ever.

Wonder how much better it would have been on Saturday night on one of the big 4 networks.

Have you seen yourself today? I don’t think unhappiness is something you should be worried about for others

They should play the semis on the weekend immediately after CCG weekend (at home field of higher seed), settle the top 2 teams then, give the losers consolation NY6 game placements, and play the national championship game on NYD.

Guarantee that will get you good ratings.

I told you the ratings would be low. Not the lowest ever, but still low and shows that a border battle in the national championship game would get low ratings.

If you want all SEC a LSU-UGA game would have had higher ratings.

College football needs greater parity across the country or it's going the way of NASCAR.

It would be lower on Saturday night. Saturday night is the least watched night of television. That's why boxing and UFC are PPV on Saturday night.

College Football would do fine. It doesn't seem to affect any NFL games. Fans would watch. I think the Monday after the final weekend of the NFL is not ideal.

There’s really no way to fix this except for the rest of the country to get their shite together, or break up the SEC (6 different schools have won the championship in the last 23 years, with multiple repeats).

Outside of Ohio State and Bama in the Sugar Bowl in 2015, the rest of the country just doesn’t do well against the SEC in semifinal games.
