Go Bucks!
Because the playoff isn't about football, it's about money. Is this really in question?I'm supposed to care about this why exactly?

Nobody said you should care the OP posted some numbers. If you dont care, dont post. But you did...I'm supposed to care about this why exactly?

Well shit, when do I get my check?
You think this has anything to do with you?
Its proof that many people watch Bama win. Personally I dont care if its 10 or 10 million as long as the Buckeyes win.Well shit, when do I get my check?
It's almost as if I was wondering why other people cared(outside everyone who thinks X numbers is proof of something).

nothin. What's it say?
And to the ratings people... if you didn't watch, you missed out. Sucks you were watching Golden State beat the Heat, or the Bachelor.
Also, it's kind of stupid to have a gamecast on like 6 different channels. Because football savvy people checked in on those channels with football breakdowns rather than listen to Fowler and Herbstreit. I didn't because I was at Outback. But forreal, if you want ratings, base the game to one channel, not like 6. Or however many it was.
Last year represented 2 different regions and was the inaugural playoff. This year represented one region and it was the 2nd year of the playoff. Who really expected the ratings to go up, based on that?
nothin. What's it say?
the overnight ratings for Duke vs Wisconsin were 17.1
the overnight ratings for the CFP Championship were 15.8
Because ratings are important to the popularity of the sport?
There's only a few states outside of the SEC region that I would think puts more emphasis on football than any other sports. Oklahoma, Nebraska, West Virginia, Virginia, Washington, Oregon, and the Dakotas. Every other state I can think of either has hockey, basketball, or pro sports not named the NFL as the major sport in the state. California is big, sure. But its only big football bases historically are in Los Angeles and Oakland. MLB and NBA teams are more prevelant in California, as well as FIFA and NHL.
Texas is in the SEC region... Texas A&M.I'd add Ohio to the list. I mean...Canton. That's all that needs to be said on that one. Ohio is arguable the most important state when it comes to football. Why do you think Ohio State has such arrogant fans who have superiority complexes? Without Ohio, who knows where football popularity would be right now? And Texas? Texas is home to the biggest HS football around. Friday Night Lights anyone? I think you're selling football short here.
