The OS Daily Ten - Do You Prefer Watching the Big Game at Home? Stuck

Sure, America's economy isn't what it used to be, but football fans have never been more ravenous for their sport. Yet tickets are sitting on cold Midwestern shelves and are at historically low prices for tonight's BCS championship game between Florida State and Auburn. So what gives?

It's the final game of the 2013-14 college football season and the final hurrah for the infamous BCS system. It's the undefeated Seminoles with Jameis Winston versus yet another SEC school -- everyone has a reason to watch and something to cheer for or against. Maybe everyone is still watching, they're just doing it from home.

Is the cost of traveling too much for the fine folks of Southeastern USA to trek to the nation's opposite shore? Or has the in-home experience finally surpassed that of the in-person spectacle? One thing is for sure, the view may be just as good with HDTVs and the food and companionship can't be beat from the comfort of your own man cave.

Has your preference shifted regarding your favorite way to watch big sporting events? Are you as satisfied watching at home compared to the in-person experience?

Location I think plays a large role in seats being available for this BCS championship game. After thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, who has money left?
