[QUOTE="MAcFroggy, post: 2669344, member: 70009"] I agree with this. However, I think eliminating the conference championship games is a non-starter. Why would the SEC give up that showcase. It was the highest rated regular season game in 7 season. The big 12 is making $30M-$40M a season on the game. The RRS rematch was the highest attended CCG in history this year. Why would conferences give away revenue and viewership like this and share it with other conferences and G5 schools? It makes no sense (especially for the SEC). If CCG stayed in place, I wonder about the timing of the games. The NFL starts having Saturday games starting this weekend (two weeks after CCG weekend). As popular as college football is, the NFL is still king. It can not get pushed any further out because NFL playoffs are going on and would kill the CFP ratings wise (plus administrators do not want football becoming a two semester sports). I am not saying they can not work out these issues, but there is probably some real logistical concerns that would need to be worked out. [/QUOTE]
