Championship is Jan 7 ! That is insane, 35 day from now. Way too much time off between bowl selection and the title game.
That means Ohio State will have played its last game on November 17 and will have 50 days until the next game?
Completely nuts.

The Buckeyes had that kind of layoff last year...and got their clocks cleaned anyway.

I agree...total insanity.

And the #1 Reason I keep hearing for not having a true playoff for the national championship is that it would make the season last too long.

Of course, the solution would be for the Big 10 to add another team and a conference championship game.

Completely nuts.”

What’s nuts is, they will lose to an SEC team two years in a row for the National Title.

Pleanty of time for a championship tournament, maybe 3 rounds.

I couldn't agree more. It's one more reason why the BCS is a farce. A playoff system would ensure teams play once a week and thereby maintain their consistency.
