That number made it the most watched college game of the weekend. Michigan beating Iowa in the Big Ten title game was second.

Do Americans love football or do Americans love football? The answer is a deafening yes. Whenever there’s a big game on, especially a college conference championship matchup, people tune in.

That’s just a fact, and people showed up and showed out Saturday to watch Nick Saban and company dog walk the Bulldogs.

If you don’t like college football, I really don’t know what to tell you. The game between Alabama and Georgia was pure electric from the opening kick and it didn’t slow down at all.

It was the kind of game that people love to get excited for and the ratings reflect that fact.

Now, we wait to see what kind of ratings the playoff and the bowl games will get. I’m sure they’ll be huge!
