Incorrect. The lowest rated BCS title game ever was last season featuring LSU and Alabama.

From what everyone can tell this game was the catalyst for a 4 team playoff format that has now been put into motion.

Never again will we have the disaster of two teams from a conference that thinks way too much of themselves when in fact they have much less influence than they think.

Weird. Sports Illustrated and CNN don't know what they're talking about, but Wickedson does.

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.

Yeah, nice spin:

Nice spin what? He said it was the least watched, and it wasn't. It was also only the second NC game on cable television. Of course ratings are going to be lower on cable versus network television. One is free, and the other isn't.

That's what I meant. You used that bit of trivia to make the game sound like it was more of a success than it was. That's spin.

It was the least watched. Sorry if "alabama.com" doesn't trump the LAtimes and CBS, lol

Actually, Hypocritson used that bit of trivia to make the games sound less successful than it actually was....that is spin.

Top 3 all time BCS Games.

1. Rose Bowl 2006 Texas-USC 21.7 *
2. Orange Bowl 2001 Florida State-Oklahoma 17.8 *
3. Sugar Bowl 2000 Florida State-Virginia Tech 17.5 *

And this proves what exactly? This does not refute the fact that Saul Good has flat out proved you incorrect.

You're right. The game was so successful they're changing the entire postseason system.

I have multiple links from credible news sources citing my facts. He has one from a site from which one of the teams plays in.

I think we're okay with who is right and who is not.
