2023-2024 NCAA Football Thread

[Jimbo]

So make the rose the late game.

Here is a controversial thought. Play both games at the same site..

They could do that and play at 12 pm and 4:45, but then they are forfeiting Prime time ... The NFL might jump in and take that spot.

Then again, Next year when the 12 team playoffs start, that won't be a problem, they may have 3 games (or more) on in a day.

Thanks for that, I was about to search for it. Nice to have the bowls means something.

The Rose must have it in their contract that they start in the afternoon.

 

[Jimbo]

That means that teams that are 1- 4 will NOT have a Home game, while the lesser teams will.

1st round is still a Bye for the top 4, right ?

Top 4 get a bye.

Lot of late games next when people have to work the next day.

I am fighting how tired I am, but I have a bunch of research I have to do tomorrow, before writing a report for work that is due by Friday.
