1 hour ago1 hr Moderator No. Guess who is miffed? Kiff, of course. But when it comes to the absurdity of the college football calendar, Kiffin is spot on. Along with another 135 FBS head coaches. Where do they find these guys? The figurehead who leads this mess, Rich Clark, notes that the weeks between PO games help with 'competitive balance.' That's rich, Mr. Clark. 🤪Today's college administrators would sell their Grandmother, Mother, and maybe even their pet dog, for a few shekels more.On3Lane Kiffin criticizes 2026, 2027 College Football Playof....
1 hour ago1 hr No. Note also that the Orange Bowl is getting back-to-back semi-final games. Why? Because the Rose Bowl refuses to move off Jan. 1 as the date of the game.The six bowl games are in a rotation, except for semi-final games. That means, a team from the West will periodically have a semi-final game at the Fiesta Bowl but never at the Rose Bowl. Which means teams from the West will go East for a semi-final most years at Orange, Peach, Sugar, Cotton.That butters the bread for the Rose Bowl organization which prefers the parade and game the same day to draw maximum visitors, and avoid L.A. traffic problems, by being on Jan. 1; but, will cause West Coast fans to have to spend more bread to travel to other non-West venues.Perhaps the fairest "solution" would be to grant the Fiesta Bowl all semi-finals that would otherwise go to the Rose Bowl? It seems unfair for the Orange Bowl, Peach Bowl ...to receive more semi-finals at the expense of West Coast fans? Or, add Las Vegas automatically to replace the Rose Bowl in years when the Rose Bowl would have been the semi-final recipient? Those years would be known in advance and Las Vegas could plan around those years in terms of their other convention obligations.
