While there's plenty of talk of changes to expand the College Football Playoff , Oregon coach Dan Lanning wants one thing fixed: the schedule.
Lanning told ESPN at the Big Ten media days he wants the playoff to mirror the NFL with a shorter layoff from the end of conference championship week to the postseason and the national championship game to be played on Jan. 1.
"I'd be in favor of creating our playoff system to mirror every other playoff system in sports," Lanning said. "The season's over, and the playoffs start shortly after. The long break is something I'm not crazy about. I wish we played every single Saturday in college football. I wish college football ended Jan. 1."
It's something that Lanning can certainly attest to. Last season, the Ducks finished the regular season
