Fans making the early-season pilgrimage to Cowboys Stadium, whether they come from Tuscaloosa or Ann Arbor, may be witnessing the end of an era - or the beginning.

No one is quite sure what will happen to games pairing big-time college football programs from different conferences in the future. Some think that, as leagues expand and more schools find themselves with nine-game conference schedules (the Southeastern Conference seems to be floating in that direction, too), sheer economics will deter teams from giving up home games.

Money was a consideration for Michigan that almost scuttled Saturday's game between the Wolverines and Crimson Tide...

The 4-team playoff will have its down side for sure.  :(

Cecil, of course, as always makes a good point.  But the flip side is that the playoff matchups will create some games that schedule-makers won't.  Just sayin'.

I would hate to see this come to an end. These start up games shows we are upstanding program. The ones who turn them down are the real losers. JMHO. RTR!
