New Year’s Day has long been considered a prime day for watching college football bowl games, but increasingly, some of the biggest games of the bowl season happen after Jan. 1.
The same is true this season, with Florida facing Louisville in the Allstate Sugar Bowl Jan. 2, Kansas State and Oregon squaring off in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Jan. 3, Oklahoma and Texas A&M going head to head in the AT&T Cotton Bowl Jan. 4, and Notre Dame and Alabama tangling in the BCS National Championship game Jan. 7.
Do you prefer having so many bowl games scheduled after New Year’s Day? Or do you think the bowl season should culminate with Jan. 1 games?

I have no intrinsic problem with it, but I will say this: When I can see that Iowa has a ghost of a chance of getting into another January bowl game, I will actually care about this questio one way or another. As I do not see how it could happen before 2020, given the present coaching situation, I don’t expect to be interested until then.
IT GIVES YOU SOMETHING GOOD TO WATCH VERSUS ALOT OF THESE INSIGNIFICANT SHOWS LIKE HOUSEWIFES OF TIM-BUCK-TOO OR THE KARDASIONS!
These bowl games are played by college students (something I fear people forget). In theory, a bowl game is played during the holiday break from school. That is less likely when the games are played further into January. Playing on January 7th is too late.
@Rich…If you haven’t figured it out the football players are athletes first, students second. Football is a big money business, that is why we have the greedy and corrupt BCS!
