🏈 I approve! 👏 "When I am CFB Commissioner the title game is moving to Saturday."

No kidding! At least a Thursday! Being hungover on a Tuesday makes for a heck of a long week

How long are you normally hung over? Four days?

I was thinking doing a shitty job on Tuesday or Friday; your choice.

 

[PurlJam]

Friday night would be good too, IMO.

How's this?

3:00 Saturday: The G5 Championship. It's not too late for a minor game but early enough to where it's noon on the west coast.

8:00 Saturday: The National Title game.

They'd still get all morning to cover the game and get a two hour space between the two games to repeat everything they've said the last two weeks.

Depends. After a win that hangover feels a hell of a lot better. I'll come clean and say this year it was a legit 3 day hangover... I hosted some friends and the cleanup was a disaster!

Is this the beginning of everybody gets a trophy in CFB? If they’re in D1/FBS, they shouldn’t be singled out for a separate championship.

Agree 100%!

I'd much rather see a FCS, G5, and P5 championship.

That's another 60+ teams the G5 group would have playing for one trophy. No different than the P5 teams playing for one trophy.

I vote.....saturday night

Who really doesn’t love a great college football game on saturday night!

 

[TideatMileHigh]

He hit the nail on the head. Every time you mention something like this, there is some fucktard contrarian shill who is ready to deliver his corporate ass kissing remarks on why moving the national championship game off Monday night is bad because “muh economics bruh”.

 

[Davestwin]

I much prefer a Saturday NC game. Monday night games suck … especially so when your team loses … especially when you’re a Tide fan living in Georgia when their dawgs win one every 41 or so years. It was like VE Day, New Year’s Eve 2000, Chinese New Years, Tet Holiday and 4th of July fireworks in Georgia that whole week with every “devoted” Georgia fan and their brother suddenly wearing Dawg attire. I bet Fanatics sold out of every UGA product they had in 12 hours.

During the season a Thursday night game slot is akin to noon time slot on Saturday; on the deuce and the U. We don't see many SEC games on Thursday—excluding the Egg Bowl of course—and to a lot that's always been a bragging point.

There's a hierarchy in time slots, right?

It's a Saturday tradition that bled over to Thursday's. To me, the NC game on a Thursday doesn't make sense. "Let's put the most important game on our secondary broadcast night."

 

[rocknthefreeworld]

Won't happen. The NFL has Saturdays at that point and college football isn't going to poke the bear like that.

Why have FBS if you aren’t competing for an FBS championship? I say step up or get out. Change the bowls to be P5 or G5 only. It will reduce the teams going to bowls because a Kentucky or Maryland won’t be able to go to a G5 bowl.

@TerryP who said anything about hierarchies and bragging points? I'm just thinking about HANGOVER'S..

But that makes sense. In that way, Monday night probably does get a ton of viewers. Just unfortunate they can't find a weekend slot for the parties' sake. As long as the Boys' keep making it, I guess we'll all just make due

The championship game is scheduled on a Monday to maximize viewing potential (and therefore advertising $$$). Many people go to dinner or have other social events on Friday and Saturday nights (yes, it could be rearranged, but having it on a Monday maximizes the potential). Other TV programming is scheduled away from Monday (much like the Super Bowl). Other networks don’t want to be paying big bucks for a major movie or scripted programming if they can’t sell ads.

So ....if it maximizes viewers...why is Super Bowl not on a Mondaynight...
Nfl keeps their championships on Sundays

And why o why is CFPs on NY eve...talk about screwing up social events

Crazy....CF is a Saturday night event...thats when it needs to be played

Why is ncaa bball championships on tnt.tbs...
Doesnt that take all the "over the air." Viewers away

All kinda crazy to me

While Pate's description doesn't seem to fit your personality—bow tie, aristocratic personalty—his choice of "intellectual casual" fits with your view of "it's TV money" coinciding with Monday night as a choice. Listen again and remove his descriptors.

@50+yeartidefan is right here. At least in my view, "it's crazy."

Going back to the point Josh makes here and you refer to with "maximize viewing potential."

It's an event. A national event. People will find the game no matter what day it's played. He reiterates that point with pointing out TV ratings, and their "windows," are an outdated concept in this digital age. People will find the game and watch.

Especially if it's a Saturday day sport played on a Saturday night.

why is Super Bowl not on a Mondaynight...

Sunday night is the most viewed day of the week in TV: makes sense in that regard.

On the other hand, Friday is considered the "death night." Going back to your point(s) and we find CFP semi's, CBB (several rounds,) MLB, and NBA on Friday's.

On Friday nights what are we doing here? Finding ways to stream a softball game, or a baseball game, right?

Hasn't viewership gone down for the Natty? Not trying to be funny, but especially with two SEC teams and Alabama in it more times than not, I thought I had read it was getting less viewership, so why would a Monday really matter?
