I mean you have the GMAC Bowl and the International Bowl BEFORE the BCS title game. Is it me or is there something wrong with that?

Do you remember NBC carrying the Fiesta Bowl while ABC had the Rose Bowl and the Sugar Bowl. Then you used to have the Sugar Bowl up against the Orange Bowl. Today, that would be unheard of, but I think it would be better than the way it is now.

I agree too, I no longer look to New Years Day like I use to when al,the big games were on, it was great, now it's stretched out tooooooo long ...
Before you know it, they will play the MNC game the open week before the Super Bowl, but then that one use to be in January but it seams to be migrating to Feb. now, also tooooo late .

I mean there is almost as many games played on Jan. 1 than there is on Jan.2. I mean this is a shame. Do we really need these bowl games on Jan.2, 3,4,5 and finally ending on the 8th.

Soon enough, they'll be playing the BCS Title Game in February.
