eSECpn just published an interesting article about the Rose Bowl playing hard ball with the CFP.  The issue comes down to the Rose Bowl wants exclusive access to the 2pm Time slot on New Years Day and the CFP wants to host quarter finals at that time.  As a Buckeye Fan I have great memories of the sun setting during the 2nd half of the Rose Bowl but as far as the CFP is concerned I couldn’t care less if they told the Rose Bowl to pound sand and kicked them out of the deal when the contracts expire.  With the CFP the historic match up between the B10 and PAC12 goes away so what you are left with is just an old outdated stadium for one of the biggest games of the year.  The Rose Bowl needs the CFP to remain relevant the CFP doesn’t need the Rose Bowl at all.  https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34989790/cfp-rose-bowl-...
