Associated Press: Lopsided games and playing the College Football Playoff semifinals on New Year’s Eve for the first time led to a 13 percent drop in TV ratings for the New Year’s Six Bowls from last year. The Rose Bowl on Friday drew its lowest rating (7.9) since it became part of the BCS in 1999. ESPN did see big increases in digital viewers who streamed the game online through WatchESPN.
