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.

Doesn't matter either way. You either pay attention to the sports mediots or you don't. Last night's game was meaningless in the grand scheme of things.

Well, if we're going to get philosophical college football is meaningless in the grand scheme of things. And one need only do a quick search of the Herbstreit thread to see that you do, in fact, pay attention to what the sports mediots say.

:roll1:

Where did I say I don't listen to what the sports mediots say? There's a huge difference between hearing them and buying into what they are selling.

And yes, Ntre Ame winning last night would have been entirely meaningless beyond what the morons that work at ESPIN say, and if you look around, more and more people are ignoring what ESPIN has to say....

Get used to a new New Year's Eve tradition, America. Semis will be played on Dec. 31 in eight of the 12 years.

Mixed feelings on this. As I've gotten older NYE has become more meaningless, but I still don't feel like I'm going to be able to sit around and enjoy football games with the other things that are going on that evening. This is on the opposite end of the spectrum of playing the BCS Championship on Monday nights, when no one is in the mood to get together, drink, and watch football. I wish they would keep the major games on Saturday or New Year.

Four bowls vie for semi rotation

Four bowls bid for three openings to be part of the semifinal rotation in college football's upcoming new playoff, sources told ESPN.

The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl (Glendale, Ariz.), AT&T Cotton Bowl (Arlington, Texas), Chick-fil-A Bowl (Atlanta) and Bridgeport Education Holiday Bowl (San Diego) met Wednesday's deadline to bid on the semifinal sites.

Only three of the four bowl sites will be selected when the BCS commissioners meet April 23-25 in Pasadena, Calif.

Sources told ESPN, the Fiesta, Cotton and Chick-fil-A are the "overwhelming favorites" to join the Rose, Sugar and Orange bowls in the six-bowl semifinal rotation.

On Tuesday, ESPN reported that Cowboys Stadium was a "virtual lock" to host the first championship game in the new playoff format on Jan. 12, 2015. Arlington and Tampa, Fla., were the only two cities to bid for the national title game.

The six semifinal bowls will rotate during the 12-year contract. The Rose and Sugar bowls will host the semifinals after the 2014, 2017, 2020 and 2023 seasons; and the Orange Bowl after the 2015, 2018, 2021 and 2024 seasons.

One of the other three bowls will host the same years as the Orange Bowl, with the remaining two bowls hosting the semifinals after the 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2025 seasons.

In years those bowls don't host semifinal games, they will host their conference-affiliated teams or the top remaining "at-large" teams as ranked by a selection committee.

The semifinal sites and corresponding years will be announced at the commissioners' meeting in Pasadena next month.

Somebody got paid to come up with "College Football Playoff" just like they got paid for folding of a map of B1G country in half. #Merica
