Georgia’s 54-48 win over Oklahoma posted a 14.8 household rating across ESPN and ESPN2, according to early Nielsen ratings. (On ESPN alone, the rating was 14.2).

Alabama’s 24-6 victory over Clemson in the Sugar Bowl generated a 12.5 rating across ESPN and ESPN2.

 

For reference, the Cotton Bowl posted a 5.9 rating.  Or more bluntly: our game got less than half of the both semifinals.  So if you were hoping for a "boycott", that was never going to happen.

 

On the bright side, having awesome ratings on NYD might help convince them to finally abandon all NYE rotation spots when the next contract comes up.  Jan 1 is meant for CFB.
