Here's my idea

Idea really doesn't work since most schools have Finals leading up to mid December. I can't imagine most coaches will be willing to sign up for getting their team ready for such a game at that time frame.
Additionally, and to a lesser concern, I expect ADs to not be on board with this plan as the travel demands required for supporters becomes challenging.
It's a great proposal for Joe Fan watching the games on TV ... terrible for those that are involved. -
I love the idea. Most schools will be done with finals before the 15th, giving each team a clear week+ to prepare for the semi-finals. And a 5PM Pacific kickoff for the finals on the 1st is perfect.

i think you're arguing just for the sake of arguing. -

It is a terrible idea. This would just be another attempt to chip away at the Rose Bowl. Go back to China you communist!

You think I'm arguing just to argue because I'm disagreeing with you? That's KJV type reasoning IMO.DerekJohnson said:

If you were a football coach, would you prefer your students to be preoccupied with activities leading into Finals or a new Quarter/Semester?
If you were a football coach, would you prefer 1 week of practice for a meaningful game or 2 weeks?
If you were a football coach, would you want the Christmas holidays getting in the middle of your preparation?
From the fans perspective, this would be great. But there's no way that you'll get the coaches/ADs to sign off on this. Comparing end/start of the academic period as being equal is insanely FS in terms of importance for ANY student. -
Stop. None of the fuckers playing for the natty have to take finals. They have they bitches do it for them.
Student-athletes comprise like 15% of an elite team roster. GTFO. You can make up your Swahili and Human Sexuality final later. -
How about an 8 team playoff starting that day? Semis on New Years, natty on the 8th or something.

The "playoff" really does need to be expanded. Stanford would have done some serious damage this year had they been able to get in as a conference champ. Still, this year's game was paired about as good as one could hope for. Better lucky than good sometimes .... Hi 12's.PurpleJ said:How about an 8 team playoff starting that day?
