Re: IU-Miami averaged 30.1 million viewers
ND-OSU was between 2 midwestern schools & many didn't think the game would be close.
IU-scUM Involved one of the worst CFB teams of all time becoming a dominant team in CFB within 2 years & had a Heisman Trophy winner lining up behind Center. The other team was from the South.
Take all of that in consideration and it's easy to see why this year's NCG had more viewers.
It was a close and exciting game the whole way. Duh.

It's all about the eyeballs and story, which factor into the CFP selection, no doubt.
As compelling as it would have been for ND, an all Indiana final may not have been as interesting as one with Miami in it.
True. Not a fair playoff...but true. Unfortunately, ND is no longer the ratings goliath it was...
...once upon a time. Still big (for now)...but not the juggernaut it once was.
I attribute part of this to the fact that Catholicism has lost a lot of adherents and influence. The "Subway Alums" were primarily working Roman Catholics that adopted ND as their own. The woes of the Church and the general waning of religion in America have been a detriment to the scope of ND's fanbase.
Additionally, the "average Joe", whose kid excelled in high school, can't get that kid into ND anymore as a rule, unless the kid is an absurd brainiac. I think these things are parts of the equation that factor into the declining numbers for the overall broader appeal of ND.
People revere the academic excellence still and once respected that they promoted education (even for top athletes), but competing at the highest level in the "system" now negates holding the top recruits/transfers to high educational standards. The rose has lost some of its bloom...if you will...sadly.
And scheduling the sisters of the poor. Big games carry big results but trying to schedule
these guys isn’t like the old days. Conference alignments and the pressure to go undefeated for the FBC has dictated win at all cost, and forcing ND to look at or joining a conference.
Absurd brainiacs ruing everything! Nerds!
