Texas and Tenn would've been better or Colorado, but they loss to OSU. As a UM fan, it is what it is, what does a "dream" matchup look like anyway lol if you want to get in and I guess attract viewers, you need to win.

Oversaturation. You had too many games for people to keep giving a fukk.

People associate CFB with New Years. 3 weeks later is way too far. Plus you competing with NFL playoffs instead of getting out the paint right before they start.

Once the NFL playoffs start, the casuals stop caring about CFB.

On paper, ND and OSU which are both top 5 fanbases in terms of size (not in quality of human beings), and the fanbases both have "enemy" fanbases that are large too (mich, usc) which will draw hate watchers.

I think the NFL starting + CFP dragging out for over a month killed the momentum and interest. Also, despite the game getting somewhat close in the 4th, OSU was in complete control the entire game, so it's not like you had to tune in to watch a close game, shyt was essentially over by halftime, so I'm assuming that causes a big drop off in viewership.

It was one of the least hyped title games of all time.
The 16 team playoff was an absolute failure.
NFL Playoffs are dominating the airwaves right now, cant go against them.

It was a 12 team playoff

But I agree. I think they need to start the college football playoff earlier and have the 🏆 game at the latest after the wild card round.

Conf champ games first weekend of december with the 1st round of the playoffs the following weekend.

Schedule would've been for example

Conf Champ: December 7
1st Round: December 13-14
2nd Round: December 20-21
Semifinals: December 27-28
Title Game: January 4 or 6

that would've worked and kept fan interest.
