The championship game should really be played on January 1st

I saw that ratings for the CFP Championship game were lower than last year. Having it on MLK day right after 4 big NFL games is not great for television.

Can't we move the season opener up to mid-to-late August, the regular season ends on Thanksgiving and then have December to do the playoffs? This would require eliminating the conference championship which I think everyone believes is useless but will probably never happen because it is a nice money maker for the fat cat conferences.

This would solve a lot of stuff:

- People are ready for football in mid-to-late August
- Kids could transfer before the spring semester start
- No need to compete against the NFL in January/February

Seems too obvious.
