Semi-Finals on New Year's Eve? *sigh* the College Football Playoff still cannot get it right

So much promise, but the College Football Playoff decides to play both Semi-Final games on New Year's Eve.  So then New Year's Day gets capped off with, drum roll please, a meaningless Sugar Bowl, with Ole Miss versus Oklahoma State.  I think.  I just know it is an SEC team against a Big XII team.

Does the Playoff think bringing back "tradition" means putting the games on the same day every year?  That tradition never held even in the good old days.  Orange Bowl was on both New Years Eve and New Year's night (but I don't think ever at 4 pm, like this year.  Otherwise, how could we have the nighttime halftime extravaganzas like the video below!).  The Fiesta Bowl was on Christmas Day, the Cotton Bowl all over the calendar, the Sugar Bowl head to head against the Rose Bowl, and who knows where the Peach Bowl has been.

So here is my solution, as I have to save the college football establishment from itself.  Again.

Okay, we keep the Sugar Bowl and Orange Bowl as the last game of the night.  If one of them has the Semi-Final game, they play on New Year's night, otherwise New Year's Eve.  Whoever else has a Semi-Final, then they play 1pm on New Year's Day, got it?  Let's pair the Rose Bowl with the Peach Bowl for Semi-Finals.  In years when they have the Playoff games, Peach Bowl at 1pm, Rose Bowl at 5pm on New Year's Day (the Rose Bowl will be the same time, same day, every year).   A non-playoff Sugar Bowl can follow them.  We can start next year, pairing the Rose and the Peach.  The Fiesta has had a lot of years in the spotlight and the Championship game this year, so they can wait a bit.  That's it, that's the plan, please reconvene.  You are welcome!
