Message: [QUOTE="Eric15, post: 5244162, member: 676"] I feel like you're making perfect the enemy of the good on this topic. I agree with you that in recent years the bowl games have lost a bit of their luster. But by moving the bowl games to April, you're just making them completely irrelevant. The energy and momentum from the regular season totally dissipates five months later, and it just feels like an awkward scrimmage taking place in a vacuum. Sports fans have moved on by April and are focused on NBA/NHL playoffs, MLB opening day, the Masters. It would be throwing a monkey wrench into the natural flow of the sports calendar. The national championship needs to be the last game of a season. It's like if your kid got straight As on their report card and you told them you were taking them out for ice cream to celebrate... in five months. They would probably just stare at you blankly.
