[QUOTE="Stern, post: 4574579, member: 527"]
The games are way too long. When ABC/ESPN moved up the kickoff for the national title game an hour this past year because the games were running so long on the east coast the previous years that tells you something. Even they know there is a problem.

I have no problem with any of the four proposals listed (although #4 will never happen), but they don't address the elephant in the room and the main problem. College football refs use instant replay as a crutch when unsure what to call. You can't give the refs unlimited opportunities to use replay to have a second look. Enough with the replay. Give each head coach two a game to use any time, just 2. And that's it. I don't care if the coach gets both right; they don't get more than 2.

And for the "targeting" penalty, call it on the field. If the refs miss it then it isn't targeting because that one should be "clear and obvious." Refs shouldn't stop a game to check if a hit is targeting, if it isn't obvious, then it isn't. Period.
