thanks to the bullshit CBS deal our conference has, 2011 was the first time since the 30's we didn't play a single SEC night game at home.

wow, that's pretty messed up, considering how much worse your day game record is in Baton Rouge vs night games.

that was my point all along.

an open air cold weather stadium should only be used as an advantage to the higher seed.

don't randomly select it years in advance.

2 warm weather teams shouldn't play there.

and #4 Michigan should not get a "home" game against #1 LSU.
Michigan did not earn the right to have that advantage against the #1 seed.

but if OSU is #1 and play in the snow against #4 Bama, no problem.
OSU as the 1 seed EARNED that homefield advantage.

Or it could be because you shipped them across the Middle Passage in chains and fucking enslaved them. That might have a little to do with it.

yeah, I went to Africa myself and enslaved them while everyone who ever lived up north was singing church hymns without even the thought of ever owning a slave.

slavery ended a long fucking time ago.
we've let it go.

maybe it's time people up north did too.

1. I have no doubt that had the 2007 - 2009 NC games been played in Columbus the results would have remained pretty much the same. Point in fact is that 2007 game was played at a neutral site. Hats off to the better teams.

2. At the same time the point is that in all but a few instances Big 10 fans are being asked to shell out more money to follow their team to a bowl game than are fans from SEC/ACC/PAC 10 schools. These teams must pay more for travel, food, equipment moving, rooms etc than teams from the same geographical region.

3. The point is also that athletes from SEC/ACC/PAC 10 schools have amply demonstrated their ability to play in cold weather as observed regularly in the NFL. There is no need to worry about their ability to adjust.

4. The point is also that though ticket distribution to schools for the major 6 games is fairly even, the remaining tickets are distributed locally giving the regional team a fan advantage.

5. The point is that this is now a National Playoff System, not a warm weather vacation tourism booster sled ride.

6. The point is that there ARE facilities in the North, East, South and West that meet the hotel, practice, stadium size requirements and that would even out the cost to fans and to participating teams.

7. The sociological factors that tied these games (other than the Rose Bowl) to "warm weather locations" are no longer applicable.

The BCS commissioners and Presidential Oversight Committee have settled on a rotation of six bowls (three "contract bowls" and three "host bowls") for the semifinals of the upcoming college football playoff system.

Also, the highest-rated champion from the "Group of Five" conferences -- the Big East, Conference USA, Mountain West, Sun Belt and Mid-American -- will receive an automatic berth in one of the host bowls.

"Today's meeting is a unanimous ratification of what we announced last June in Washington, D.C.," Charles Steger, the chairman of the Presidential Oversight Committee, said in a release. "I'm delighted that additional details have been resolved and that everything is on track so fans can enjoy the postseason they've been asking for. College football, with its great regular season, is strong and popular -- it's about to get stronger and more popular."

With the Group of Five earning an automatic bid, that will lock up seven of the 12 berths in the six access bowls along with the Rose (Pac-12 vs. Big Ten); Sugar (Big 12 vs. SEC) and Orange (ACC vs. Big Ten, SEC or Notre Dame). The other five berths will be filled with at-large teams chosen, based on their final rankings, by a yet-to-be-formed selection committee.

While a Big Ten or SEC team could be selected to the Orange Bowl, the commissioners have agreed that when the Rose and/or Sugar bowls are hosting the semifinals, the Big Ten or SEC champion will not be placed in the Orange Bowl. Instead, it would have to be placed in one of the three other access bowls, sources told ESPN.

Those remaining three access bowls still must be determined, but the leading candidates are the Fiesta, Cotton and Chick-fil-A, sources said.

The group also has finalized the revenue-distribution deal for the new playoff. The oversight committee also will give the commissioners authority to finalize a media-rights deal with ESPN, which will be worth about $475 million a year over 12 years, sources said.

ESPN will be the television home for the college football playoff that begins after the 2014 season, thanks to a 12-year deal announced on Wednesday.
The deal covers the national championship game and semifinals as well as bowl games that will be part of the semifinal hosting rotation in years they don't host a semifinal game. Earlier, ESPN announced deals with the Rose, Sugar and Orange Bowls.
The deal goes through the 2025 regular season (2026 bowl games).

The college football playoff system will be televised on ESPN for 12 years once it starts after the 2014 season, officials said yesterday.

The championship game will be played on a Monday, at least a week after the semifinals.

The deal is worth about $470 million a year, a person with knowledge of the terms said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the fee had not been announced.

?Folks are going to love this playoff and the attention ESPN will give to it,? Bowl Championship Series executive director Bill Hancock said in a statement.

ESPN?s four-year contract to broadcast the Sugar, Orange and Fiesta bowls along with the BCS title game is worth about $125 million a year.

ESPN will own the rights to all six bowls involved in the four-team playoff system. Conference commissioners had decided that the two semifinals would rotate among those half-dozen sites; the four not involved each year will hold major bowl games similar to the current BCS contests.

The championship game will be bid out each season through a separate process, as the Super Bowl does for the NFL.

There will be three ?contract bowls? that offer automatic bids to particular conferences in years they don?t play host to one of the semifinals: the Rose, Sugar and Orange. The network already had separate deals for the same 12-year period through the 2025 season for those games, which are affiliated with the Pac-12, Big 12, Big Ten, Atlantic Coast Conference and Southeast Conference.

Thanks to the Domers. We needed them to be like Nat Turner and set us all free.

What happened last night had to happen, unfortunately. Yes, "the SEC" dominance continues. But do you know what would be worse? Notre Dame being the school to put a shocking halt to it.

No way. It has to stop, but Notre Dame cannot be the ones to stop it.
