College football’s biggest game of the year is tonight, on a Monday night, like every dumb year, and I can’t figure out why this is a thing that we’re still doing in the year 2022.
Why in the world are we still holding the national championship game on a school night with kickoff not happening on the East Coast until close to 8:30 p.m. when there is a way better option?

Why, on a Monday night, are we holding a national championship game that usually takes like four hours to be played and will run well past midnight for us losers watching sports in the worst time zone in the country to watch sports?
Why is college football holding its biggest game during a week where NFL news and NFL playoffs are totally consuming the attention of sports fans who don’t have a team in the CFB title game?
Why? Why? Why?
It’s just the dumbest thing ever.

So when should this thing be played? I have two words for you: Friday. Night.
I know what you’re doing right now — yelling bad things about me at your screen and screaming about how Friday is dumb too and blah blah blah.
Just hear me out.
The NFL, which is king of the sports world, has games on Saturdays and Sundays this time of year because the NFL knows fans will eat those games up.
College football, which is usually played on Saturdays, gave away its chance of hosting the championship game on its normal playing day years ago. College football had a chance to take over the weekend and blew it. Now it can’t go up against a NFL game on a Saturday, even if that NFL game is between two teams with their playoff fates basically sealed.
Saturdays are gone for college football’s championship game and they aren’t coming back.

So that’s where Friday comes in. I know some of you are now yelling about how nobody watches TV on Friday nights but college football just held the playoff games on a Friday night, so it can be done. And if you’re now yelling about how those ratings were down then let me remind you that those games were played on New Year’s Eve, which is far from a normal Friday night of television watching.
College football could still have an 8 p.m. start time for the Friday night game because it’s Friday night and who cares how late the darn thing goes? It’s the start of the weekend, baby, and we can stay up as late as we want! Or as late as we can. Some of us are old now. Whatever.
Speaking of the start of the weekend, a Friday night game would get college football in ahead of all the NFL stuff and wouldn’t get lost in the shuffle as it’s doing today with all the coaching news. Friday night would also allow the game to build some momentum throughout the week instead of being completely ignored over the weekend like it just was the past few days.
This all makes wonderful sense, which means it will likely never happen. I just know it’s gonna be so dumb tonight when we’re trying to stay up forever to see the end of the national championship game.
We need to stop doing this to ourselves. Come on, college football. Do the right thing and move this game to Friday night. Be the hero you so desperately want to be.
Oh, and everyone come back and join me in a few weeks when I correctly explain why the Super Bowl should be played on a Saturday.
Don’t be afraid of change! Embrace it!
