Ohio State Alabama most watched game

Watching. Always watching.

Frequently, we have posters from other teams with rich traditions questioning the size of Ohio State's fanbase. This came up and we posted the results of national studies backing up the Ohio State claim. Here's a little something else, Ohio State also draws eyeballs.

On Thursday, 28.2 million viewers watched Oregon blow out Florida State 59 to 20 in the Rose Bowl. Later in the night, 28.3 million tuned in as Ohio State upset top-seed Alabama 42 to 35 in the Sugar Bowl.

These numbers make the semifinal games the two most-watched broadcasts in cable TV history.
 
And, while historically small, still morally superior to every other team's ratings.

to continue the metaphor....most guys are done once the reality of historically small sinks in. Not so for the cultists, they are convinced all the pointing and laughing is a somehow a sign that every chick in the world is dying for a shot at the "cleanest".

You guys obviously do not see the forest through the trees. This is just yet one more example of Delaney and the B1G conspiring against the great university and its patriarchal's glorious legacy by fabricating TV ratings; an attempt to suppress and minimize is overwhelming importance to college football and higher education. Wake up, sheeple...
