I know when Bama played Texas in 2009/10 it was on a Thursday night on ABC.

Dear God make it happen.

What happens when the game(s) prior to the NC runs long due to overtime, weather or other delays? It’s on a Monday to maximize the potential viewing audience (no other football games are scheduled).

If they had it set up this way next season you'd only need to change channels. All three games are in different networks.

That would eliminate the lead in. The pregame for the NC runs as long as the game.

Monday night to Old Player is Saturday night for the rest of America. Hence the subtle questioning of the logistics regarding moving the national championship

I just prefer the focus to be on the NC game and not divided by games that most of America doesn’t care about.

Brother I wouldnt worry about it. The 1995 Orange Bowl was played after NFL playoff games and had higher Nielsen Ratings than any college football NC game from 1994 thru present day aside from the 2006 Rose Bowl.

What a game. Tommie Frazier’s comes back from the blood clot and leads them to a couple of 4th quarter TDs. Then the next year, Nebraska opened a can on Florida.
