Possible factors responsible for reducing the CFP Championship Game

National viewers may have also influenced the geographical proximity to two competitive teams. Notre ladiesCampus at the South Bend, Indiana, is less than 300 miles away Ohio StateCampus in Columbus, Ohio, limiting the regional diversity of fans.
