30.1M Viewers — Miami or Indiana? An Objective Debate on What Really Drove the CFP Rating

Описание: A clear-eyed debate for Canes fans and neutral viewers: what actually produced the 30.1 million viewers for the CFP National Championship — Miami’s return to relevance or Indiana’s marketing/mega-story (Cignetti + Mendoza)? This clip breaks down the evidence on both sides: TV-ratings context, semi-final lift, star personalities, timing (MLK Day / NFL weekend), crowd composition at Hard Rock, alumni & brand reach, and whether Miami’s narrative or Indiana’s underdog storyline pulled the casual audience.

Watch for:
• Data-driven arguments about semi vs. final viewership and why 30.1M mattered
• How Mendoza/Cignetti’s charisma could attract casual fans vs. Miami’s brand pull
• Timing & scheduling effects (holiday, NFL weekend) that skewed ratings
• Crowd & market composition — did Miami actually have fewer fans in the building?
• A balanced conclusion you can argue with in the comments
