2024 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

CFP won't flip dates of semifinals despite SEC inquiry

The College Football Playoff will not flip the dates and times of the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic and the Capital One Orange Bowl after SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said Thursday he asked about the possibility of changing them.

With its 23-10 Allstate Sugar Bowl win against Georgia on Thursday, Notre Dame will face Penn State next Thursday in the Orange Bowl at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). On New Year's Eve, Penn State advanced when it beat Boise State 31-14 in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl.

The quarterfinal at the Sugar Bowl was delayed after a pickup truck attack in New Orleans that left 15 people dead and dozens more injured.

Sankey's concern was a potential disadvantage for Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish will have to play on a shorter turnaround than Penn State, which hasn't played since New Year's Eve and thus will get a longer rest.

"We're not going to flip the games," CFP executive director Rich Clark told ESPN on Friday morning. "The concession we made with the athletic directors was to start the Sugar Bowl earlier -- an 18-hour or so delay. We slipped the game 18 hours to ensure we could provide safety and security for teams, coaches, staffs, fans and others involved. NOLA and Sugar Bowl officials were amazing."

Question: OK, why is the Sankey (SEC Commissioner) worrying about Notre Dame?
Answer: I'm guessing that he doesn't want to see 2 B1G teams in CFP Championship Game.

Actually he made the inquiry before last night's game, when he was sure Georgia would be in the semis. At this point he really doesn't care.

“after a pickup truck attack in New Orleans that left 15 people dead and dozens more injured.”

Why does espn insist on this wording? It wasn’t a pickup truck attack. It was a terrorist attack. There are still people in the hospital that might not make it. The least they can do is acknowledge what happened.

Because that organization is entertainment based (the "E" in ESPN), and not anything fact based, let alone bordering on reality.
BP has a inglorious 441 page thread on that organization (if you're ever so bored to peruse):

They wouldn't know news or anything factual it if came on their faces.

Last I checked not a single school shooting that kills several is ever called a terrorist attack.

And there is nothing more terrorizing than somebody who targets children.
