    with all this time no college bowl anyone really care about National championship?

    with all this time no college bowl anyone really care about National championship?

    Ive heard one guy maybe two even mention it?

    its basically a non factor. go back to multiple NEW YEar's Bowl games match up some great teams and quit this obsession with WE NEED a COLLEGE Champion. what difference does it really make? nobody cares anyway, there is no Buzz for this game when even is it? Monday?

    yeah but I'm always geeked up to watch an sec team especially bama.

    but yeah there are too many bowls.

    I liked it the old way to be honest teams having to run up the score.

    mostly for gambling purposes.

    The "I'm not watching because it's Alabama again" people are the same as the "I'm moving to Canada if Trump wins" crowd. much of the country won't be happy with the rematch but it will be a great game nonetheless. Alabama repeats.

    I agree with you TRY. Way too long of a delay with no bowl games in between.

    So much wasted time spent talking about college playoffs. 75% of the time the games suck anyways. Ie this year both semifinal games horrible. Neither game competitive. Last year 38-0 alabama. Clemson blew out oklahoma. Its just for the media to have something to talk about

    I agree but I think I will get the feeling back - I lose a little zip waiting for the Super Bowl as well. But, it is the national championship game and it more or less is a celebration of the entire season - the ring - the what all the players dream about and play for.

    This will be one of the rare times and probably the only time this season when the sportsbooks are actually rooting for Alabama, especially on the ML.

    Yep Clemson huge public dogs.

    I have to think there will be sharp money on Alabama under a td at some point though. Books might get buried if game lands on 7

    Everyone in the South cares. College football is life down here. I moved from California when I was younger, and one of the first things I was asked on my first day of school, Alabama or Auburn? lol

    The trouble is that they have to follow that great Penn State-USC Rose Bowl. There is no way that this game will be any better.

    As with most bowl games, TV money is where it's at and it will be huge. Alabama wins; still mullimg spread or ML.

    Does not detract from the fact that the Rose Bowl may have been the BEST bowl game so far this season. Would be nice if Championship Game just comes close to that game's roller-coaster of emotions and excitement.

    The best bowl game? I saw it as bad football by 2 C level teams. Next you're gonna tell me that if Sam Darnold and USC were to play Alabama again it would be a different game.

    The rose bowl was the best game by far this year and has to be high up there on the all time list. Over 100 total points with multiple double digit lead changes and it came down to a buzzer beater 50 yard FG

    Plus, Max Browne was the USC starter week 1 so yes if Darnold played the game would have been much different.
