The numbers coming back are supporting that it was too regional.


With both teams from the southeast, the southeast was the only area that tuned in big for the game. Here's an excerpt from this article on it. Clemson vs Alabama was heavily watched in the south and by Ohio State fans it looks like. The rest of the country wasn't as tuned in.

"Birmingham was the No. 1 local market for the game, earning a 59.2 overnight, the market’s third best overnight for a postseason college football game on ESPN. The top 10 metered markets for the game were Birmingham (59.2), Greenville, S.C. (39.0), Atlanta (30.1), Nashville (29.1), Knoxville, Tenn. (28.4), New Orleans (25.6), Jacksonville (24.8), Columbus, Ohio, (23.0), Charlotte (22.8) and West Palm Beach, Fla. (20.3)."
