Somewhat surprising considering two of the bluest blue bloods and biggest fanbases were in the Champ game and the Final 4 consisted of 4 of the top 6 fanbase sizes. I think it shows that despite the expanded playoffs, as the playoffs proceed, they run into the NFL playoffs and kind of getting muddled and overlooked. I am sure SMU, Boise and ASU didn't help earlier rounds as they don't have much cache.
