As expected, the College Football Playoff ratings were WAY down. They fukked it up.

[TenChambers]

NCAA has nothing to do with it

Playoff Committee/NCAA/Bowl committee ...I don't know...whoever it was who wouldn't let ESPN move the games is dumb as hell.

It hurts the fans. Also do you know about advertisement dollars or business at all?

The ratings dropped a QUARTER in one year because of the date they had to move it to which it will be for 8 of the next 11 years

Espn is in panic mode now. They didn't pay a shyt ton for playoff games to get a 9

Yeah this is bad I wonder what the numbers were for the games yesterday. They gonna shyt bricks if the non playoff games did better numbers

 

[Rich Spirit]

It's because the semis were the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl, the bowls that this year refused to move their bowls from NYD.

*fixed

 

[Tide Run This]

Rose Bowl did a 7.9 rating lowest rating dating back to 1983

Bad ratings just mean ESPN CAC executives bonuses won't be as big as last yr.
why anyone on here cares I don't know.

The rating weren't bad

I don't think the date is the sole reason.the first year got an artificial bump from being something that's never happened before

The fact that it's 3 GGs simultaneously as I speak ND vs OSU, FLorida vs Mich, & Tennessee vs Northwestern speaks volumes on how the schedule is fukked up big time on New Yrs day

that aint chit.

the glory days was when it was like 5 games on at once, as somebody said earlier.

The Sugar and Rose have always had there games on this slots on New Years. Neither wanted to move from their spots, basically f'ing up the schedule.

The New Years lineup used to be:
1pm- Citrus (ABC), Cotton (CBS), Hall of Fame/ Outback (NBC), another bowl (ESPN)
4:30pm- Fiesta (NBC)
5pm- Rose (ABC)
8pm- Orange (NBC)
8:30pm- Sugar (ABC)

Basically, Rose and Sugar have had these time slots in contract with ABC/ESPN for years. Its also why they have the semifinals in the same year.

when i started watching, the hall of fame(outback) was on espn. back when heith shula was coming out.

i always remembered the cotton bowl for being on fox.

ayo, yall remember the john hancock bowl? pause.

 

[Tide Run This]

Fiesta did a 6.2 Sugar did a 5.3

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Gator Bowl is on now

they changed the name to the tax-slayer bowl?

This is what @NV-ME was talking about.

I love the NYE idea. it's gonna turn into a new tradition. thanksgiving is NFL Xmas is NBA and NYE is ncaa playoffs. I'm down. also good excuse to keep people at home instead of going out and drinking themselves to death on NYE

A new tradition? What's the point of that? Having the Bowl games on New Year's Day IS the College Football tradition. Traditionally, this is the day that college football programs achieved for. To play in New Year's Day Bowls and if you're good enough, a chance at a national title. The semifinals shouldn't be any different. I don't care if you have a four of Texas, Alabama, USC, Ohio State, most people are going to get ready to party on NYE. Next year, the ratings may be higher since NYE will be on a Saturday.

Fiesta Bowl rating up 35% though :whyumad:

: u mad::u mad:

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Rose Bowl did a 7.9 rating lowest rating dating back to 1983

Some of that is because of Iowa being in the game too but goddamn this bowl season was atrocious. What a colossal fukk up this was

Another thread where @Rigby exposes his lack of intelligence. Yes, a state with a population of under 5 million (that's less than 0.5% of the entire country's population) is a "poppin" market brehs

@WuDatWuDat you a wizard breh

Why is this 2016 WPOY quoting me

 

[Rigby.]

I love how this cac called himself breh too
