Worst bunch of New Years Day football games that I can ever remember. Were any of them even remotely competitive?

The playoff has been a disaster so far the first two years. One good game out of five. If Alabama-Clemson is a clunker I say scrap it! Lol!

And do what?

I'd say big ten fans , esp buckeye fans want to go back to the vote .

My bad. Wasn't serious about it. Just disappointed in the games so far.

They need to get rid of the committee and use the BCS system to pick the teams that make the final 4.

I love it. Didn't have to pretend to care about any of these postseason exhibitions. Watched Louisville's bowl and then the first half of Clem/Okla and almost none of that Bama/Sparty beat down.

 

I'll watch the title game... but it's basketball season now.

Based on what I've seen so far the two best teams are in the NC. Wish playoffs had eight.

The only games that held my interest yesterday going in was the Mich and Ohio state games. Sadly they were played at the same time.

 

The other match ups for the most part, did nothing for me.

Some had teams I liked but the game themselves did little or nothing for me.

I must have missed something, there was college football on yesterday? :lol2:

 

The only Bowl game I've seen, is parts of the Sun Bowl because it was on in a restaurant I was at. BTW, love watching games when there is a snow storm taking place.

With the Semis off 36% and with only 11 of the 36 Bowl Games (and 4 of the last 19) being decided by 7 points or less it will be a wake-up call for the NCAA.

 

I would expect some new ideas for the coming years.

Something must have been in the air yesterday. I watched the Winter Classic in lieu of the Fiesta Bowl yesterday and even that was a blowout.

I didn't think the match-ups were all that intriguing to start with, outside of the playoff games.

I believe the Rose and Sugar are contractually on New Year's Day for the next 10 years. There is talk of having the semifinals on January 2 in some years. New Years Eve is on Saturday this year so that may help ratings.

NCAA has zero control over College Football Bowls or TV Contracts

 

TV for playoffs was down due to being on New Years Eve vs New Years Day...(Rose Bowl's fault)

 

Bowl games generally have a bunch of one sided games...Vegas had most games within 7 points or so going into the games, so the fact that one team out played the other more than expected can't be blamed on the bowls.
