I gotta say I don’t understand this mindset.  I don’t give a rat’s ass who wins any sporting event I watch that doesn’t involve WVU, but I like watching good teams play when something is on the line.
It's mostly SEC fatigue, added to the fact that having your national championship on a Monday night a week and a half after New Year's (the traditional end of CFB) doesn't really draw me all that much. 

I'd have tuned in from the start if either Cincinnati or Michigan had made it, because there's at least some novelty there. But watching a Georgia team that got their teeth kicked in 6 weeks ago play the same team that did them a solid curbie, just didn't get me excited.

I was actually kind of intrigued by the storyline.  UGA has been on the verge of getting over the hump for several years now and Bama, more than any other team, has stood in their way.  I wanted to see if they could finally kick the door down.  Glad they did.

I probably would have been less intrigued by Bama-Clemson again.

Fans often are less interested in a contest with teams not in their region.

I think betting is a large part in why the NFL and NBA stay fairly popular.

I had a lot of juice for it around New Years, but the delay, and the Monday night, just makes the game feel like nothing. I feel this way every year, and my team has been in it a couple times.

It's not that it's region it's repetition,Advertisers prolly weren't happy with ESPiN,at least over the air there would have been more eyeballs.Who wants to pay to see that shit - not the masses

I see ratings for the semis were off by a fair bit.

For the NFL, fantasy football is a HUGE part of it... Granted in some sense that may also be called betting, as most play in leagues where there are prizes at the least, and more often cash winnings. 

Without fantasy football, the NFL would end up with a giant drop in popularity.

Fantasy football is much bigger than just traditional football fans. The number of people playing in fairly casual (family/friends/coworkers) leagues who may only be watching games because they're playing fantasy football is probably larger than you'd expect.
