HOOVER, Ala. -- Bill Hancock said the College Football Playoff is considering moving the playoff semifinals from New Years Eve.Hancock, the CFPs executive director, said the move could happen no sooner than after the 2018 regular season.Were exploring if theres a better [date] for the semifinals, Hancock said. Were thinking about if New Years Eve is the way to go.The fact that Hancock publicly addressed the possibility of moving the games off New Years Eve indicates it is likely to happen, a source said.Theres still work to be done, a source said. However, I doubt Bill would have said something if he didnt think he could get the room [of the commissioners] there.Last seasons Orange Bowl semifinal on New Years Eve between Clemson and Oklahoma drew a 9.1 rating, a 38.5 percent drop compared to the previous years Rose Bowl semifinal on New Years Day, which had a 14.8 rating. The number of viewers dropped nearly 45 percent from 28.1 million for the Rose to 15.6 million for the Orange.Last seasons Cotton Bowl semifinal on New Years Eve between Alabama and Michigan State drew a 9.6 rating, a 36.8 percent drop compared to the previous years Sugar Bowl semifinal (a 15.2 rating) on New Years Day. The viewership dropped nearly 35 percent, from 28.2 million to 18.5 million.All CFP games are televised on ESPN.The FBS conference commissioners who created the CFP in 2012 said they wanted to start a new tradition by playing the semifinals on New Years Eve two of every three years during the 12-year contract with ESPN. When the Rose and Sugar Bowls host the semifinal games, those would always be played on New Years Day.After the just-completed Year 2, Hancock said the CFP stood by its decision to keep the semifinals on New Years Eve to start a new tradition in viewing habits. That stance, however, has softened with Hancock admitting the bigger priority is finding a date to get the most people to watch.Even before Year 2, ESPN executives lobbied extensively for the semifinals to be moved off New Years Eve. But the conference commissioners wouldnt budge.This seasons semifinals at the Peach and Fiesta bowls will be on New Years Eve with the CFP title game Jan. 9 in Tampa, Florida.The 2017 season semifinals at the Rose and Sugar bowls will be on Jan. 1, so the earliest the Playoff could move the semifinals is Year 5 -- after the 2018 regular season. Those semifinals are currently scheduled for the Orange and Cotton bowls on Dec. 31, 2017.The CFP has a 12-year contract with ESPN to televise the four-team playoffs. Hancock said there has been no talk from university presidents or commissioners about expanding the playoff field. Hancock added that after six years of the playoff -- after the 2019 regular season -- the CFP can look in and potentially change three of the six bowls -- the Fiesta, Cotton and Peach.Hancock also said the Big 12s decision to add a conference championship game after the 2017 season will greatly help the league in the CFP. The Big 12 was the only Power 5 league that didnt have a conference title game and didnt play 13 games. Hancock said they talked a lot with the Big 12 and told them how much adding another quality opponent would help.It gives them another quality opponent, Hancock said. It is a game-changer.

The Sky Sports expert delivered his damning verdict following Liverpools 6-0 thrashing of Remi Gardes side at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon.Goals from Daniel Sturridge, James Milner, Emre Can, Divock Origi, Nathaniel Clyne and Kolo Toure condemned Villa to their heaviest home league defeat since 1935, leaving them eight points adrift of safety with 12 games left to play. And Carragher insisted the team that played on Sunday simply arent Premier League class.They are an embarrassment and they have been for a few years, he said on Super Sunday.It wont be that team in the Championship, theyll change it obviously, but if that team is in the Championship it will be closer to the bottom than the top - theres no doubt about that.I was thinking about how difficult it is for young kids. The dream is to play in the Premier League. If you watch Aston Villa it gives you hope with how that group of players are playing in the Premier League, at that level. James Milner celebrates with team-mates after his cross found the bottom corner for the second goal I always think when teams go down theres always two or three players where other managers in the Premier League will try and take them.I cant imagine one Premier League manager looking at that team and thinking theres one player there hed want to take into his squad. Thats how poor they are.Liverpool led 2-0 at half-time and even before the avalanche of second-half goals, Carragher described Villa as the worst Premier League side he could remember.They will finish with more points than the Derby side of 2007/08 and the Sunderland team of 2005/06, but Carragher says they have been sliding to this level for several years. A dejected Remi Garde reflected on Aston Villas 6-0 loss to Liverpool I said at half-time they are one of the worst Ive seen and was reliably informed Derby and Sunderland may be the worst, he added.Forget about what points they are on, I think they are the worst Ive seen. I cant remember those seasons. Thats as bad as youre going to see. I cant imagine one Premier League manager looking at that team and thinking theres one player there hed want to take into his squad. Thats how poor they are. Jamie Carragher I think weve known for a long time they are going down, not because of where they are in the league but because they are the worst team in tthe league.dddddddddddd Thats why they are going down, nevermind being bottom.Its been coming for a few years, really. Ive been watching the games for Sky and have been surprised theyve stayed up. Christian Benteke has kept them up for two or three years, but with him gone, theyve had no chance.They are one of the worst teams in the Premier League. Divock Origi was mobbed by away fans after his goal Carragher also argued Liverpool have been average for much of this season, but says the return of Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho from injury has elevated them to a higher level.He said: Brendan Rodgers could look back and say the injuries to Daniel Sturridge maybe cost him his job. Thats how much he elevates this Liverpool team.Without him and Coutinho, its an average team and weve been watching that for the last few months. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for his team Were expecting Jurgen Klopp to come in and make a difference, but I think he said in the week hes not David Copperfield. You need top players.Thats what Liverpool have. They havent got that many of them, but the one true one they have is too injury-prone and thats the problem for them.If they can keep him fit between now and the end of the season, you would expect a good run. Liverpool midfielder James Milner feels that their 6-0 win over Aston Villa was an overdue result Are Aston Villa the worst team in Premier League history?
