Ncaa Football Playoff!?

But even still, 50 days is an awful lot. They'll never go without a break for finals, but you're right, nobody needs 50 days.

I understand 3-4 weeks for finals and christmas break, but c'mon 50 days is just about money. They want to space out all the big name bowls to maximize TV revenues.

I also don't like the fact that they waited until January 8th to play the game. People already watched a ton of college bowl games right around New Years and the first weekend of the NFL playoffs, so it was almost like last night's game wasn't all that important or something. Maybe if they put the game on last Thursday I would have still felt like I was in the college football mindset, especially since the NFL playoffs just make hate the BCS system so much more.
Stupid over-analysis by TV people, like TAF.
