Just did a quick search on the BCS ratings.
Championship game down 17% from the year before and down
34% from 2 years ago.
Seems like most people didnt believe they were truly going to see the two most deserving teams play for the title this year (as well as who the teams involved were). A direct result of no playoff system, but instead having computers and biased voters deciding.
Quote:
Fox drew 14.4% of U.S. TV households for Louisiana State's championship win over Ohio State Monday. That's down 17% from last year's Florida-Ohio State title game on Fox — and down 34% from the previous year's Texas-USC title game on ABC.
The BCS took ratings hits nearly across-the-board. Of Fox's four BCS games, only West Virginia beating Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl drew a higher rating this year.
