Yep. NFL rules the roost…

Both Notre Dame and Georgia reportedly requested the earlier start time
Whoever wins tonight is already at a competitive disadvantage with Penn State b/c they will now be on 2 less days rest than Penn State - and you can argue even longer since PSU was barely challenged by a team that shouldn't have been in the playoffs let alone had a bye week. If the game was still going to be at 8:45, both teams wouldn't be traveling until the middle of the night. A 4:00 start time gives both team the opportunity to leave NOLA at a reasonable hour.
Do agree on the logistics which I mentioned before given the awful situation…
Have already conceded I wasn’t paying attention to NFL scheduling at all this week…just assumed there was a Thursday game.
Orange Bowl is next Thursday due to NFL though…prior to all this…
College FB is scared to death of the NFL and sponsors

Why?

I assume he means the college playoff being banned from weekend play.
The NFL does rule the roost in that regard.
And game time of 4 pm…so as not to conflict with Thursday night football…
But, yes, the “Final Four games being played on a Thursday and a Friday are clearly NFL dictated.
4PM because attending fans and media want to fly home tonight.

Agreed with that as well. Especially in light off my error…

That’s good, it aligns with what everyone else on TV is saying

It's also good because it aligns with Happy Hour.

You bet it does!
Day drinking rules.
And how does this give PSU an advantage over either ND or Georgia?
An adjustment has to be made to make it just a little more fair. Maybe push back the PSU matchup back one day.
You just can't start pushing the schedule around
Too many people already have hotel and flight reservations made for the dates scheduled. Requiring them to try and make changes at this point would be onerous to too many people.
I'm sure the winning HC will address this issue after the Sugar Bowl.
Some type of adjustment might have to be made for the Penn State game unless the winning HC and CFP don't feel a two day jump isn't an advantage for PSU. First things first. Winning the Sugar Bowl.
The Cotton Bowl is Friday night.
Where do you think they can move the Orange Bowl to?
They can’t move either. Logistical nightmare prevents…

I have no suggestions because I have never been an elite player or HC in this situation.
Maybe the winning Sugar Bowl HC will feel it's no big deal. Maybe the players are really resiliant and can adjust to a two day PSU advantage. Maybe CFB will see the need to delay the PSU game one extra day. I'm just a fan. All those mentioned are directly involved. It could be a big deal or no big deal. MF, Kirby, and players are focused on the Sugar Bowl first.
