Imagine if the CFP had the courage to just pullout from the Rose Bowl. They should.

If that happens, "there would not be a Rose Bowl" for first time since 1915.

In case you didn't know, the "Rose Bowl" game brand is partially owned by the city of Pasadena. If the game is played in Arlington, it won't be called the Rose Bowl semi-final.

Time to give the west coast a reality check. Not that they will understand it. Blinded by their superiority complex.

Say what you want about Mike Leach but he is spot-on a lot of the time but especially with that quote. I guess if you add the MSU season to the equation, I bet it really felt "joyless" in Starkville.

Living on the west coast probably broaden my perspective more than any other place I've lived.

Doesn't matter what you call it, just move it. And what would keep the Rose Bowl from having a "Rose Bowl"?

The Big10 and the Pac are already used to playing in front of cardboard so good point.

I don't know. I remember hearing it here and there but can't say when.

Probably happened because of the '42 game.

What are the proposed options? I can think of several.

AT&T Stadium.

The CFP is facing mounting pressure from the ACC and SEC to relocate its semifinal from Pasadena. Decision expected within days.

AT&T Stadium.

Switching dates with the Cotton Bowl? Or just booking their stadium and delaying the Cotton Bowl this season.
