Yesterday at 06:09 PM1 day 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....
Yesterday at 06:27 PM1 day 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.
1 hour ago1 hr No. Having the Rose Bowl on any other day besides January 1st is criminal IMO. Barely one of the last college football traditions that still exist, even though the matchups are different.
1 hour ago1 hr No. Then keep the Rose Bowl on January 1, but offer its semi-final rotation status to another venue such as Vegas or Fiesta Bowl x 2.If the Rose won't/can't offer itself for a semi-final, then that screws teams in the West who qualify for a semi-final that instead will require fans to travel to Miami, Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas....
