    if you read the article you'll see that attendance is down in every conference and my point was that when 99% of the teams at the starting line become eliminated from contention by virtue of the media poll (ie score checkers who dont' watch them all) by guys on tv more often than leave it to beaver reruns who are all basically saying that a hot team like Utah isn't as good as a mediocre team like Oklahoma for some manufactured rationale when really it's just because they'd rather watch Oklahoma then it eventually works its way down to the pleebs like us who are expected to buy tickets but when we say "meh...my team isn't involved in anything big...just the cheez-it bowel" so fuck it i'm going to buy a new video game and get drunk tonight instead of going to the game (plus the Nike jerseys suuuuuuckkkk bawls so won't buy that either) then yeah, CFB gets less interesting to the masses.

    Being at the game is way more fun.
    Yes, cal game was root canal level fun
    Only because of the weather delay. I hate seeing them lose, but I still love getting drunk with my buddies and watching the game live.

    Tickets were like $60 for decent seats. This is a dumb narrative

    The seats I like to sit in average about $220 per on the secondary market. I feel your pain. Still, I'd rather pay $800 for a x2 to two games than pay for season tickets and sit there for Weak Sisters Of The Poor University in week one.

    I'll be there for Michigan, and I'm already getting started on making the plasma I'll need to donate to afford it.

    Seats are expensive...It may not be factually true but that’s the narrative so that makes it true.

    Variable kick off times also make this shit a lot harder to plan around. I'm glad I can record this shit on a dvr and skip through commercials.
