Some of these game were rough to watch when they showed the stands and they were practically half empty.

Interesting info Valenth. I wonder if the info is based on ticket sales or actual people in seats. Even State's game attendance looked a little sparse. Down here in South Carolina, Clemson fans were buying tickets for the finals rather than the semis.

Money is the mother's milk of football, I just do not see how ESPN and 40 bowls survive into the future.

I agree there is a definite over saturation of bowl games in college football.

I was surprised to see the Bama-Washington game had the higher TV rating of the two semi final games,also surprised the Fiesta Bowl had that many empty seats,figured the Bucks fans would have swallowed that place up for such a big game.
