Outside the South, people simply don't care all that much about the sport.

That isn't true although that's where it's most popular. It's also popular in the midwest, & upper midwest. Not so much out west or in the northeast. Those ratings are driven by the teams playing. The largest #'s are always going to be geographically associated with the teams playing.
Anybody comparing really anything to the NFL in terms of popularity's smoking crank. I think the last one of those popularity surveys for Americans I read the had NFL 1 & CFB 2 but the difference was very dramatic and then comparatively nominal from 2 to 3 and so on. I don't remember which sport was 3.
