Amazing night I was at a huge ND bar in Chicago and several local tv stations where there doing interviews and showing the crowd. Great night!

10.3? Holy you know what! That's awesome! I watched all three of those games and enjoyed every second of all of them. Last night was truly amazing and I can't even describe in words how good this feels!

ND-USC gets a 10.3 overnight rating. How big is that? Last year’s Rose Bowl and Fiesta Bowl averaged a 9.4 overnight rating.

They had a guy on ESPN saying that this is going to be the most watched/gambled/desire to be attended/etc. game ever and it's not even close.

Wow! There's some perspective for you. ND Nation is alive and well.

Anyone know who is projected to be in the Sugar Bowl?

That is amazing. Way to go, ND Universe!!!

On a side note, I'm just glad that an usher didn't come over to my house to tell me to sit down on my couch or risk being removed to my room. That would have been awkward... ;)

National championship game could break the ratings record.

BCS record is 21.7 in '06 Rose Bowl, Vince Young & Texas v Trojans. Keith Jackson's last broadcast.

It would help the rating's if ND had an opponent with more TV sets than AL or GA has.

I laughed at this, but then I remembered just how bad it can be at times at home. My brother was told to sit down by some fellow ND "fans" during the Stanford game. When he wouldn't comply, the ushers put the pressure on him and threatened to have him escorted out. He left at the end of the 3rd quarter in disgust, and missed all the magic in the 4th.

I was at that game as well, and was also asked (not told) to sit down, and instead of getting angry, I won them over and encouraged them to get up. But you just can't win with some people.

I was just reading an article where that 21.7 translated into just shy of 35 or 36 million viewers. At that time whoever wrote the article thought that the ND-SEC matchup, if it happened, may garner about 1.5 million below the record. With that viewership last night; I wonder if those estimates are being revised, as we speak?

Also, interesting is the OSU-UM game had a really respectable rating; but for the sake of the Florida football and SEC fandom, the UF-FSU game, which had way more at stake and was on at a more preferable time IMO, fell a bit short in the ratings, didn't it?

The championship will break any record for viewers of a college football game. I have no doubt
