Bama-LSU The Lowest-Rated BCS Title Game… Ever

The game was a rematch. A rematch of a game that many people found to be boring the first time around. A boring game played by two teams from the same conference, the same region of the country.

There are plenty of reasons why last night’s Alabama-LSU title bout was the lowest-rated BCS title game in history (and that history dates back to January of 1999). The fact that many people likely tuned the game out as it proved to be yet another festival of field goals should be considered, too.

Last night’s game was down 14% from last year’s close game between Auburn and Oregon.

With the title game and other BCS bowls taking a ratings hit this year, the likelihood of BCS commissioners changing their end-of-the-year system improves.
