    Lowest-rated championship game in BCS history.
    Viewership just half of what it was two years ago.

    And lowest ratings for the Rose Bowl ever. EVER.

    This is what I was alluding to when I was talking about the bowls last week. If the execs are looking to a plus-one to save the bowls, then they are completely clueless about what's sucked all the life out of them.

      I imagine a lot of people in Louisiana and Alabama watched it.

        What did you take? I hear all the time how big BYU's fan base is. How everyone wants to watch BYU.

        I never see numbers to prove it. We usually suck with TV bowl ratings. It is what it is.

        Hey, we still got a deal with ESPN, but I don't understand. I must me missing something.

            That is true.

            I dunno.. every time BYU has bad ratings there are always excuses. They seem legit, of course, but every time?

            I also expected to see a dramatic increase in attendance in away games in the WCC. Not even close. People don't care as much as we want them to.


            Of course, I am a pessimist, in case some people haven't figured that out yet.

              BYU had the worst time slot of the entire bowl season. Noon Eastern on a Friday that was a work day for most people. The bowl had no prestige either, but I'm willing to wager the ratings would've stunk even if the Armed Forces Bowl was respected.
              Everything in life is an approximation.

                8% increase seems pretty good considering the the timeslot didn't change.
