was nice when all the bowl games were played in one day & by midnight on the same night you knew who the national champion was...

Couldn't agree more. Dominoes falling everywhere. Most exciting day of the year. I spent the morning of this game desperately rooting for Georgia to upset Texas in the Cotton Bowl, allowing Miami a chance to play for itself against Nebraska. Now it can't unfold that way. I can't believe anyone prefers the current setup.

@volvo4377 You will NEVER see a #5 team with a chance to win it all on New Year's Day anymore. Now we have to wait for January 10th or so to watch two teams predetermined by computer playing for a trophy. I'd rather go back to this kind of New Year's Day free-for-all than see a playoff in college football.
