NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A field goal-filled shutout couldn't compete with a thrilling finish for television viewers.
TV ratings dipped for this year's BCS title game, Alabama's 21-0 win in a rematch against Southeastern Conference rival LSU. The Crimson Tide went up 15-0 late in the third quarter on five field goals while the Tigers' offense struggled to even cross midfield.
A year ago, Auburn drove for a winning field goal on the final play to beat Oregon 22-19.
Monday's game on ESPN earned a 14.0 rating, down 8 percent from last year. It's the third-lowest rating of the 14 BCS title games, beating only a 13.9 for Miami-Nebraska in 2002 and a 13.7 for Southern California-Oklahoma in 2005.
