Overall, the TV folks have to be ecstatic about the 2024 college football season. Ratings were through the roof, even for supposedly meaningless bowl games.

But I reading this article on the ratings for Monday night's game, this part really jumped out to me:

Perhaps most importantly, ESPN is now said to be in just 65 million homes, a figure that makes it highly difficult to reach the kind of audiences that were once commonplace for the national title game. When the Buckeyes previously won the National Championship in the 2014-15 season, ESPN was in more than 90 million homes — and the title game, the first of the playoff era, averaged 34.1 million viewers.

Wow.
