The College Football Playoff National Championship delivered the second-best showing for a NCAA football title on Monday night. ESPN's coverage of the Georgia-Alabama game averaged a 16.7 overnight rating among households, dominating everything else on TV Monday night and growing 9 percent from the comparable game last year. It ranks behind the 2015 Ohio State-Oregon game as the highest-rated in network history. The Crimson Tide narrowly bested the Georgia Bulldogs 26-23.
