Seems inherently unfair

[UPitt '89]

Apparently, Alabama gets unlimited practices up until the title game.... while Clemson doesn't.

Same thing happened last year with Oregon and tOSU.

A loophole that should be closed going forward:

That's a nice idea but it will never happen. College start dates and end dates are different same as local school districts unfortunately no universal start and end dates.

That could make a rule that the teams that are in the championship game have the same practice restrictions, regardless of their school's start date.

They absolutely should do that. It's ridiculously unfair the way it is now.

OSU got the extra time last year. Bama got it this year. Until one of them miss out, it isn't changing.

On the other hand Clemson may end up with fresher legs.

Why do that? That only makes sense.

This seemed like an obvious rule to fix LAST year --- no idea why it wasn't fixed. Strange.
