Based on my conversations with football fans, this is not the case, and it's never been worse, because of the lack of national TV coverage.
In-conference opponents excepted, I wonder how teams could have that said of them. Five? People watch Notre Dame. They watch USC. They watch a few others that may be at the top of their game at a given moment: LSU, Ohio State, what have you. And they may watch the Cinderella du jour: Boise State, etc.

Other than that, people watch their team, and their conference. Why would a, say ... Auburn, fan have any reason to watch a BYU game, even if every single one were aired? Or know a one-sentence summary about them?
