Shocker! 2022 College Football National Championship Game Bombed on TV.

Second Lowest watched College Football Championship Game in last 16 years. Only the 2021 game was worse.

Anyone surprised? Shouldn't be. Regional game everyone already saw a month ago even though roles flipped. Didn't watch, but score makes it look like Alabama kicked too many field goals. Makes argument for best 2 out of 3 I guess.

8:30 or even 9:00 on a Friday night would work out for both coasts.
Maroon Baboon • 01/12/22 10:37 AM ET
Friday night is a no go because the networks don't want to impact

Listening to them is bad enough, but having to see them is worst !**

Monday night championship games are not fan friendly.

In years when New Year's Day falls on a Sunday, I believe the bowl games

ND/SEC are short sighted, like NASCAR, there creating a Regional Sport,

Eh no reason to watch it since VT wasn't 1 of the teams playing in the game**
