Used to be where college and pro football didn't overlap, those days are gone.  Nothing sacred anymore, so why not blow some things up to make this deal better?

Totally agree Army/Navy needs to move, but CCG week won't work as they are conference affiliated.  Rather see this played out on rivalry week (Thanksgiving weekend). 

That said, the bowl system is obsolete with both the playoff, the portal and draft of highly rated players affecting the games.  And why a sponsor is underwriting games with stadiums not even 1/3 full is unreal.  The Ducks are not playing in the Granddaddy of Them All as the reward for winning the conference, they are playing a quarterfinal playoff game on a neutral field. 

If the playoffs are to truly matter, these things have to happen:

* One week bye after CCG week for teams to recover and universities to prepare for the first round, games played every Friday/Saturday thru the semis.
* If 12 teams is the size of the field, the field is reseeded as necessary as lower seeded teams will win games.
* All playoff games outside of the NCG are played at the home field of the higher seed.

How many fans can afford to travel to all these neutral sites?  On short notice?  My guess is that the Semi-Final bowl games may not be 100% attended and the worst casualties of the system.  The NCG will be like the Super Bowl, no issues there in terms of filling seats. 

Thinking way too much while waiting as well...

Still waiting …. under 20 hours to go ……

I agree with JJ’s changes.

Waiting has not gotten any easier in the pop tarts bowl did not hold me over lol!😂

Did the committee really think Boise State would’ve done better with Ohio State schedule?

I m away from my place with my GF. I have my Ducks t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, and hat. I forgot my new Ducks coffee mug. My thought being it would either be my new lucky mug, or I would launch it with a catapult into another state if they lost tomorrow!
