So, replaying the SEC championship game didn't get ratings?

I'm shocked...lol

I didn't watch the game...didn't even watch the highlights afterwards. Just not interested in what ESPN was selling, which is all SEC, all the time.

They would have had much better ratings for the final if they had matched UGA and Bama in the semi. That way the people who loathe the SEC would tune in to cheer for whoever won the other semi.

But ESPN got exactly what they wanted...an "all SEC final." Who cares about ratings, right?

I guess it is best in 2 years since 2021 was the worst in 16 years.

Weeknight title game is a terrible idea.

Why start the game at 8:00 pm, on a week night?
EDGEMAN • 01/12/22 07:45 AM ET
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.

If you read the history of the Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961

I think they should have it the Saturday before the Super Bowl.

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

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