I know I'm really old school, but the Rose Bowl just isn't the same without the classic matchup between the Big 10/Pac 10 champs playing on ABC with Keith Jackson working the game.

agreed

the whole system is all screwed up just so they can make a buck.
playing the orange bowl on new year's eve ?
in the the old days it was an all days smorgasboard of football.
the cotton bowl at noon on cbs the rose bowl at 4 on abc and then the sugar and orange at night
plenty to watch at hawthorne if you were busted and your buddies were still betting
now if you are at least 6-6 you qualify for a bowl game
i can remeber how the colleges fought againt a playoff and playing more than 10 games because of academics.now everyone plays at least 12 games and the season ends past the 8th of jan
