Can someone please explain to me why the National Championship Game isn't tonight? Wouldn't a Saturday night be better than a Monday night for these games? Go Tigers!

I get that... I would figure the NFL could do a 1pm and 4pm game for today and then CFP get 8pm?

But how would they squeeze in ESPN’s six hour CFP championship pregame show?

The No Fun League would be your answer. It conflicts with their divisional playoff round.

Don't get me wrong, I kinda figured it had something to do with the NFL. I suppose my real question is why does college football cowtow to the NFL?

Tiger 20030, the CFP has no connection to the NCAA. It is not an NCAA Championship and the winning team is not an official NCAA Champion.

The NFL could bracket the college game but each gives the other their due

Remember when Florida State and LSU only played at night and we kicked off at 1:00? TV is the reason!
