Everyone has plans New Years Eve and might not have time to watch 6 hours of football.

Doesn't bother me. It only takes about 30 minutes to eat my pudding and drink my glass of rose' at the Home's annual party, and then I wheel back down the hall and watch the games.

Just saw an article saying that the CFB playoff games will be on New Years eve the next two years because the Rose Bowl refuses to hold their game on any other day besides New Years.

Everyone has plans New Years Eve and might not have time to watch 6 hours of football. Hell, I worked NYE this year along with a lot of people. Just made me think of this old rant... frick the Rose bowl.

Rose and Sugar are both "entrenched in their [New Year's Day] spots...[as] part of [the] deal from day 1." Whatever that means. So, play the playoff bowls on 1/2. How hard is that? Those games should be after the other major bowls, anyway. Oh, that's a Saturday and the NFL has wildcard games scheduled? Screw that. Those games were shite anyway. What are they gonna do the next year when NYD is on Saturday? Or the year after when it is on Sunday?

NCAA just can't keep themselves from screwing this up. Should of just added a true "Plus 1" game, after all the other bowls. Top two bowl winners get in. You wouldn't have any scheduling issues; bowls could play whenever they wanted. You'd have more teams with a chance to get there and no BS selection committee.
