    they need to figure out how to play the national championship game on new years night instead of some obscure monday night 8 days after interest has waned. of course they won't. they figure they've got everyone sucked in to watch 2nd rate new years day bowl games so they save the good one for what they believe will be a bonus tv audience after some nfl wild card games (which aren't as appealing as a regular season full slate of games by the way) which will give them a carryover audience on a monday night. ad revenue rules.

    Or incorporate a playoff of 8 teams and make those 4 games the NYD games. You then play the NC game on the day before the AFC/NFC championships. That would give it more of a Super Bowl feel and satisfy the bowls.

    It was a great game, but the game buildup was sort of an afterthought. It deserved much more.

    They could have 60 losses between them. The fact remains that it was a great game. Learn how to read fool. No one said that either one of those two teams deserved to be here. All I am saying is that these two teams are really going to have to put on one hell of a show to best the Rose Bowl Game.

    The solution is simple. There is always an off week between the NFL Divisional Championship games and the Superbowl. That is the time to play the NCAA Championship game. It will NEVER EVER be played on New Years Night. New Years Day is reserved for the Rose and Sugar Bowls and that is the way it is going to stay.

    grunching here.......

    this somewhat along the lines of George Costanza's "why does Cheers have to be about people in a bar? why not an airport or a museum?"

    anyway, not sure why national championship game couldn't be pushed up some and not necessarily be the final game of the year. i guess maybe final exams interfere...... i think maybe the big traditional bowls should be the last game.

    i agree that i'm not crazy about how is is right now time-wise.

    This post shows just how little you know about college football. I will bet you everything you own (which is obviously not too much) against 10k that the game would be much different. Would USC win? Probably not, but they would not get blown out. Now to your second stupid ignorant statement. If USC (who will end up in the Top 5 this season) and Penn State (who will end up in the top 10) are "2 C level teams", just who do you consider to be a "B" level team? I doubt if you have an answer for that. I would hope that you would realize your stupidity and just drop this.

    How can you possibly move the NC game up ahead of the traditional bowl games when two of those games decide who is in the NC game?

    I wouldn't mind seeing the first 2 playoff games being played just before/after xmas and the final game played on Saturday night, not Monday. The NFL could slide the wc games to either 1/4pm ET times or have all 4 on Sunday. Monday night just doesn't have the appeal, the pregame, or hype.
