I've posted this data multiple times on the thread, you should be able to locate it easily. Among the top 65 markets in the country, about 50 of them don't watch much college football. The other 15 markets light up the Nielsen meters like a pinball machine. It is also consistent over time.
Among the top-10 markets for the BCS Title game this year, all 10 were in the South. CFA's biggest markets are all located in 1 quadrant and it is indisputable.

Exactly what part (14M) of the country would you guess was watching the Ohio St-Michigan St regular season game? Obviously not the same part (1.3M) that watched KU-KSU in basketball on a Saturday???

You should quote apples to apples. I would bet the KU-KSU football game didn't draw very many folks either. There are plenty of D1 football games that don't get any viewers.
