Here is what I’m NOT worried about come Tuesday’s late kickoff:
1) Motivation. As recent history tells us, and the current title-bestowing system dictates, a highly-ranked college football team left out of the College Football Playoff may not be motivated to play in their New Years 6 bowl game. Feeling slighted, or that anything less than the CFP is meaningless, some teams treat the game as an exhibition, some players treat the game as a possible hindrance to their post-college plans, and some coaches are happy to have maxed out their contract bonus structure.
