Why Would Anyone Outside The South Watch the College Playoffs?

[Stick Up Kid]

I see why The Final 4 has constantly beaten the CFB playoffs in ratings the last couple years

-games on NYE
-no teams on the West Coast, North East and most of the Midwest
-most people can't name 1 player playing in this playoffs (outside of mayfield)
-no stars, no storylines, no heavyweights, no undefeated seasons, no Cinderellas etc

College Football is very regional, if ur school ain't in it, people won't watch unless it's a star studded team like the old USC, Texas, Miami, Ohio State, FSU squads

ESPN needs USC OSU Michigan or ND to get in sometime soon to get Blockbuster ratings. No real starpower this year think playoffs peaked year 1 with Winston vs Mariota and Urban vs Saban gonna be hard to beat that as far as national appeal

Yeah I'm sure it will struggle for ratings

It is very regional based they lucky it's on NYD this season USC vs OSU is a more attractive national draw honestly over both games sucks it's on a Friday night though

Not an issue discussing it just a theory on neutral fans people on West coast ain't checking for no Clemson or UGA like that even Bama they ain't putting up crazy ratings.

ESPN dream scenario would be USC OSU Texas and one of them SEC schools or an FSU/Miami for Blockbuster numbers.

Because these are the 4 best teams in the country

It's a down year this season not really sold on any of these teams being elite it's a toss up this year.

There is no reason to watch this year though

The best team in the sport couldn’t make it having to play 4 top 6 teams and all these other fellas ain’t shyt of shyt
