Numbers like this should encourage the sport to build around these big time out of conference matchups.
You'd have to get the buy-in from the CFP committee to reward tough scheduling (which they clearly don't now)
OSU now finds itself in the same spot as Texas last season. Texas went 9-3 last year with one of its losses being @ OSU. That kept them out of the CFP behind Oklahoma who Texas beat 23-6. If Texas plays and beats Ohio instead of losing to OSU, they are in ahead of Oklahoma.
If OSU ends up 9-3 it is likely they will be left out in favor of a 10-2 team or an undefeated G6 teams who played a weaker schedule. The CFP committee is telling coaches that playing a terrible schedule and avoiding risk is the way to get to the CFP and that a win over a marquee non-conf. opponent doesn't mean all that much.
Of course, rather than recognizing that and encouraging more games like OSU v. Texas, the CFP just wants to expand the field to allow everyone gets in as a participation trophy

CFB doesn't really exist in the northeast. The networks want to change that.
There’s no fricking programs of any significance northeast of State College, PA.
No amount of media wishcasting will make Rutgers or BC a significant football power short of a Flutie like Heisman season.

What was the 2012 game that was the record holder?

But for the casual viewer, the sport is growing.
The casual viewer is why I don't have to hope for Jefferson Pilot or pay for TigerVision.
Don't get me wrong, I know we all loved the old awful-quality JP broadcasts, but the reason we all loved them was that we got to see games we would otherwise not have seen.

It’s a testament to how strong the loyalty to the sport has developed over the decades. If the current trajectory holds, I doubt we will see these same ratings in a few years.

LSU was involved in the most viewed game in regular season history. LSU vs Alabama. Nov. 5, 2011. 20 million avg, peaked at 24.3 million viewers.
In short: The 2011 season’s most-watched CFB game was LSU at Alabama, a high-stakes SEC showdown that drew over 20 million viewers and cemented its place in college football history.
Surpassed other major 2011 sporting events, including the World Series, NBA Finals, and major golf tournaments.
This SEC rivalry game was billed as the “Game of the Century” and was the highest-rated regular-season college football telecast on any network.
14 million Texas - Ohio St - Prime time slot.
20 million LSU - Alabama - Day time slot.

They won’t stop until they reach their ultimate goal - January Madness.
And maybe not even then.

Ryan Day beat Texas twice in 2025, once on his way to a Natty.
He also beat the shite out of Tennessee in the Playoffs.
But yeah, he sucks
