    Am I crazy, or does 8.76M for Texas/Alabama seem low? I was expecting at least 10+M for a hugely hyped, prime time game between two of the biggest fan bases on the sport. Was it because it was on ESPN and not a broadcast network?

      Yeah, those numbers are huge for cable. No regular season game last year on ESPN got over 5M besides Bama-LSU which drew 7.58M. Last year’s Bama-Texas game was on Fox and got over 10M.
