I'd support college football adopting NFL timing rules, particularly with the sheer amount of passing that happens. I was watching the game with a couple of buddies and from 8:41 p.m. to 8:53 p.m., the game clock went from ~7:10 down to ~5:45. No commercials or anything. Just legitimate on-air time because of clock stops, injuries, reviews, etc.

I think the games are getting to be too long.

I actually turned it off. It was the middle of the day here and I just didn't find myself being compelled by anything, let alone the 25 minutes of commercials per hour.

This game is so far removed from the regular season and traditional bowl slots now that it just feels like an afterthought. 

I agree with that, too. Not seeing either of those teams for four weeks, having them play a semifinal, and then not seeing them again for another two weeks is just silly.
