College football has undergone a plethora of changes in recent years with perhaps the most significant being the adoption of a playoff that is gradually expanding. Last season brought us the first iteration of the 12-team model that concluded with Ohio State knocking off Notre Dame in the national championship. That contest took place on Jan. 20, which is the deepest a college football season has ever stretched into the new year and a far cry from the New Year's Day conclusion the sport had for decades.
If Oregon coach Dan Lanning had his way, though, there would be some changes. And a champion would be crowned much sooner.
