I know this isn't the reason, but I'd just like to point out that Monday is a hella gay day to have the CFP Championship Game.
It doesn't "seem like it," it is always on a Monday, and it's hella gay.It seems like they do this often. Is it just to avoid the NFL on the weekend? It seems like it is always on a Monday.
This.Also note that ratings were down across the board this year. It was a mess of a season and that impacted interest.
College football has come somewhat predictable and that's led to a level of fatigue. That leads to two questions:
1) Should anything be done about it?
2) If so, what would help?

I think they could do two things to shake it up:
* Limit scholarships to 70-75. This would give less margin for error in recruiting in the top programs, and open up a lot more high end recruits to other teams. Bama, Clemson, Ohio State, etc. wouldn't have as many players sitting on the sidelines that would start for 95% of college teams.
* Allow players to transfer one time and play immediately at the new school. This would make it VERY difficult on the top teams to retain talent. They can recruit top players, but if those players don't get significant time in the first or second year, they could lose them. I may even be in favor of allowing for more scholarships under this plan.
Both of those ideas have a lot of pros and cons to them, but it could shake up the top programs, and make it more difficult on them.
I agree. The solution that's commonly floated is to expand the playoffs to 8. However, as someone who supports that, that does nothing to solve the parity problem. I like both of your solutions. I've thought about limiting scholarships even more so. That was done in the 90s (I believe) and it helped. I really like the idea of allowing people to transfer once without penalty. I support player autonomy and this could help with the parity issue as well.

It's being voted on and likely will pass. I don't think it is official yet.I thought they could transfer without sitting now?

Don't think that's permanent. Although, I don't think you can put the genie back in the bottle on this one.I thought they could transfer without sitting now?
That's what happens when Clemson isn't in the title game. People want big names.
Gotcha. Thought it already had gone through, for some reasonIt's being voted on and likely will pass. I don't think it is official yet.

First of all, I'm not so sure it is "Bama Fatigue" as much as it is the "Same old, same old" fatigue.College football has come somewhat predictable and that's led to a level of fatigue. That leads to two questions:

2) If so, what would help?
