The national championship game between Alabama and Ohio State on Monday, which saw the Crimson Tide dominate the Buckeyes 52-24, will go down in the history books as one of the least watched title games ever.
According to Sports Media Watch, the game was the least-watched in the College Football Playoff (2014-present) and BCS (1998-2013) era. It also was a 27% decline from last year s national championship game between Clemson and LSU. Both of this season s College Football Playoff semifinal games drew larger numbers (19.2 million for Ohio State-Clemson and 18.9 million for Alabama-Notre Dame) the first that s happened with a semifinal in BCS/CFP history, according to Sports Media Watch.
