🏈 BCS Title Game Ratings

What kind of rating is 172 when compared to other programs? Anyone familiar?

I'm not sure, but I think I recall that it had the highest rating of any other game except the 2005 BCS Championship between Texas and USC. Not sure if that really answers your question, but that's just what I remember hearing.

this is what I saw about it - actually 17.2, which I believe is 17.2% of the population watched the game. http://sportsmediawatch.blogspot.com/2010/01/alabamatexas-tops-30-million-viewers.html


Here is an article that doesn't include out game in a chart since 1999 - they might have an updated one on this site, I just didn't look http://sportsmediawatch.blogspot.com/2010/01/bcs-national-championship-game-numbers.html
