They really need to cut down the number of games after January 1. At least get rid of the three non-BCS games.

Sure you can, if each team goes 1-1 against the other 2 and sweeps the rest of the schedule.

> I’m not one of those who bitches about the glut of bowl games, but this dragging out the bowl games past New Year’s Day is getting ridiculous. January 10th for the National Championship game? That’s a workday, not a holiday. That’s after the NFL playoffs have started.

Amen!!! I’d be OK with triple-headers on all 8 networks on 4 different days, with the BCS game on January 2.

7 Networks-ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, ESPN, ESPN2, FSN, CBSSports  
4 Holidays-Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day

Hopefully my team can send Urban Meyer into retirement on a down note!
