Monday night also sucks when you have to go to work the next day.

How about starting the season earlier, eliminating Conference championships and playing on New Years Day?

- I'd be curious to know. What does having two teams people love to hate have to do with it?NT oldirish 9:42pm · 1/29/25
- So if not as many watched it, can we sneak a claim of another Natty (Alabama would)?NT BaronVonZemo 8:03pm · 1/29/25

  - Season is too long. Cut the playoffs to maximum eight IMHO. ELP 7:17pm · 1/29/25
    - If the season is too long then shorten the regular season by Chrisb 8:13pm · 1/29/25
