Cover them, yes.
Have more eyeballs than much smaller markets that actually watch college football, no.

edit to expand: Take Birmingham, where college football ratings are often 10x -- TEN TIMES -- the size of the national average.
That's a 700,000 TV household market that can provide more viewers than every market not named New York.
