I can think of three reasons: 1. The NFL consistently dominates every other

league. 2. The NFL games were closer than the college games. 3. Netflix wanted good teams playing on Christmas. The four teams that played yesterday are the four Christmas teams. The CFP wasn’t just going up against the NFL, they were going up against the NFL’s best.

Fantasy is a great point. Fantasy is awesome in the NFL and not awesome in college.

FOX/CBS vs TNT for a couple of them. CFP games on ABC performed better.
