THE LINEUP: ESPN’S CFP National Championship Coverage

Monday night in Atlanta, the College Football Playoff National Championship delivered another heart-pounding thriller.

Rallying from a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit, Alabama defeated Georgia in overtime, 26-23. ESPN’s presentation of the epic College Football Playoff National Championship delivered a massive 16.7 overnight rating on its Nielsen-rated networks (ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU) as part of its MegaCast production, up nine percent from the thrilling 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship on the same three networks.

The ESPN-only presentation delivered a monster 16.0 overnight rating for the Crimson Tide’s overtime victory, up eight percent from the ESPN-only presentation last season, a game which featured a dramatic, last-minute touchdown to win the game.
