BCS title game ratings down from 2007 (AP)
Published 1/8/2008 at Yahoo! Sports - NCAA Football News
This year's LSU-Ohio State matchup in the BCS title game couldn't draw as many television viewers as last season's Florida-Ohio State game. The Tigers' 38-24 win Monday night on Fox earned a 14.4 rating and a 22 share, down 17 percent from the 17.4/27 in 2007. It was the third-lowest rating in 10 years of BCS championship games.

Memo to the national media. This was a rebuilding year for Ohio State and they over-achieved. LSU was the better team, but let's not act like this year's Ohio State team is the same one that lost to Florida last year. Troy Smith, Ted Ginn, and Anthony Gonzalez were not on this Buckeyes team.Crushed Nuts

In general, I suppose it does speak to the relative strength of a school's football program when it reaches the BCS national championship game two years in a row. But for Ohio State's sake, they can only hope that's the last time in a long while they'll have to play in the title game. For the second year in a row, they got pushed around, run past, and bowled over by a superior SEC opponent.Television Ratings for BCS National Championship down 17.2% From Last Year
