Ratings collapse

Couldn't agree more. Eliminate the conference championship games and play the natty on a Saturday night around Jan 7-10 depending on the calendar

The Rose Bowl will never agree to play on a day that isn't Jan 1 (or Jan 2 if Jan 1 is a Sunday)
So the only way that works is if the Rose is always the semi-final. I wouldn't complain about that, but the other bowls and SEC would, so it'll never happen

They don't want to watch car insurance for several hours.
Also it's rigged pay to win. The teams with the most money are the contenders.

After January there's the bleakness of joyless dark cold winter made more bleak by having only hockey and NBA on tv. Good football is needed then. Football season ends 2-3 months too soon in my opinion.

Now there's an extra bye week in 2025. They need to start the season in mid-August. Finish 3 rounds of playoffs by Jan 2nd, Then have the NC game mid-January. It does seem to be too drawn out this year.

Alabama vs Michigan was in New Years Day at the Rose Bowl. Penn St vs Notre Dame was on a Thursday night. Apple and Oranges. How did the initial Bama vs Michigan ratings compare to Oregon vs Ohio St. That’s a better comparison.
Missed Race’s comparison. But yeah the Rose Bowl at a 24m peak was still under for this year. Had the game been competitive, I’m sure it would have been right in line. -
Seven games before fall quarter even starts at UW sounds about right.

Cuogs will cry foul

Quarterfinals should be home games for the higher seed

I don't even think it will be 40k. Most alumni are middle class. They don't have thousands lying around to go to fly to 3 or 4 games. Plus there's taking time off, arranging babysitters, pet sitters or kennels and everything else. Plane tickets five days in advance tend to be expensive. It's easy to just watch it on TV.
