No, its shit like telling Cam Newton and D'shawn Watson (georgia natives) that if they came here they would have to play tight end because we don't like mobile QBs, and losing to TN, getting blown out by bama (not even putting up a fight) , going to overtime against ga southern.... doing that with all the stud recruits we get, that is shit tier coaching, nothing more. We get elite recruits solely based on our location and prestige, rich hasn't been able to accomplish shit with them. if winning 9 games a year is ok with you then fuck off.
>>63884268
Second for Nebraska is no longer a blueblood

UGA is going to get worse.

This is the problem with the SEC. Your fans beat their chest over a 9 win season even though you didn't' beat a single ranked team and lost to the only three good teams you played.
UL Monroe, Vanderbilt, Southern, South Carolina, Monroe, GA Southern, and Kentucky.
That's 7 automatic wins and people give a shit that he won 9 games. LOL no.
This team is trash and they're going to stay that way. Jacob Eason is a skinny lanklet that throws into triple coverage on half his plays.
>firing a coach after a nine win season
Hmmm sounds familiar. Wonder how it worked out for the last team that did this...
>>63884461
thank god
>>63884478
don't be mad that our coachless program got more wins than your team and is going to make a NY6 bowl and get to 10 wins, and then lure either Fisher or Saban to lead the Dawgs to the promised land of a Natty
>>63884472
The entire SEC East was embarrassing this year.
>>63884268
How the fuck do you lose to Tennessee?
>>63884461
We can't.
>SEC firing all of it's good coaches
it's like pottery
>>63884429
Stanford could still make it
They deserve it more than UNC would
If Clemson had a loss they wouldn't be in the conversation, so neither should UNC
>>63884572
Who? Pinkell? Richt?
>>63884562
Pretty sure Nebraska showed you can
Twice
>>63884528
this x1000.
If richt couldn't win the east this year he'll never be able to do it again. everyone else in the east is getting better. it was high time for a change.
>>63884615
We get much better recruits than Nebraska. If we had a decent coach we'd have 2 national championships because we would have had cam newton and deshown watson here too.
>The 2nd best team in the SEC is Ole Miss
>Ole Miss
And people say this is the strongest conference? Are they stupid?
>>63884562
I think Georgia fans are going to find out soon that it can get much worse than 9-3.
>>63884680
it's not like ole miss lost to a g5 team tho. and to be fair, florida got worse due to suspension.
>>63884619
That maybe true, but it's the wrong time to hire
>>63884656
Watson went to Clemson for Chad Morris and his spread offense
Plus he'd be out for the year
>>63884680
Literally the entire conference has been feeding off of Bama's success like a parasite. We've never seen this level of memeing throughout history.
>>63884680
All conferences suck this year.
It probably looks like
B1G
Big 12
SEC
Pac-12
ACC
and I go to an SEC school
If Saban doesn't win the national championship this year he's out.
Arkansas solely exists as a team to ruin other teams' seasons as opposed to actually winning their own, don't they?
YOU MAY ONLY REPLY TO THIS POST IF YOUR SCHOOL FIRED YOUR HEAD COACH AND YOUR ATHLETIC DIRECTOR TODAY
>>63884724
But Memphis is a g5 team and Florida didn't get worse. The entire SEC got worse
>>63884789
Here are mine.
PAC-12
B1G
ACC
Big 12
SEC
I thought about putting Big 12 last but I'll take their top 4 teams in a walk over the SEC's
>>63884799
God help the SEC if they ever actually show up to every game one season.
>>63884789
Even the big 12 is fully speculative. OU is a tier above Baylor/OSU/TCU, and those three are somewhere between like 8th and 25th in the country. We don't really know, because they scheduled special ed squads as appetizers in september.
I hope Dan Mullen leaves. Second year in a row that we were completely unready for the egg Bowl, despite being a similar or better team. He clearly can't win any big games and he never will. Down 21-0 in the first with 4 and 4, he kicks a field goal. He has given up on the team yet again. His play calling is so uninspired it is embarrassing. He can't recruit or coach an o line for shit and has mismanaged running backs unless an NFL quality one falls in his lap. The one bright spot is his QB development, but it is kind of hard to even be happy about that when he almost completely ruined Dak's senior season by mismanaging winnable games. Dan you clearly don't care anymore, you were laughing and smiling and talking about how this team proved people wrong after losing the Egg Bowl. Please leave, this isn't 2006 where we can't get any recruits (although you're partly to thank for that), watching that team all year I thought 8 wins was the floor and by god Dan you seemed excited to do as little as y'all could.
>>63884524
Except that I'm an OU fan and we just won our conference and are sitting pretty at 2 or 3 for a playoff spot.
Good luck on your coaching search King nothing, congratulations on your Stucky's bowl invite
>>63884884
yeah I was getting a bit tongue in cheek about the memphis bit, but I do think UF would have been much better if their quarterback didn't roid up.
>>63884913
OU = Bama, and I would take TCU/Baylor/OSU over whatever the top 3 SEC teams are.
>>63884902
>Pac-12
>1 team with fewer than 3 losses
>first
opinion discarded
>>63884990
I actually put OU above Bama, but i get what you're saying.
>>63884990
Top to bottom, the Pac-12 has been solid. The bottom of the conference is better than the bottom of the SEC or Big 12.
>>63884939
Who the hell do you think you're going to get better that State can actually convince to come?
So 15 openings
>>63884902
>PAC12 above B1G
I hope this is a fucking joke.
>>63884939
>MSU fan wants Mullen to leave
what virus is going around in the SEC that makes historically bad programs disappointed in their 9 win seasons?
>>63885122
i suppose you are going to try to say the best pac12 team played against the 5th best big 10 team and lost? UNLIKELY.
>>63885137
Cornhusker disease
>>63885137
SEC Media hype machine that makes every SEC team think because Bama is successful they and the whole conference are as well
>>63884985
It was j-just a protein shake....
I was getting so damned tired of Richts bullshit. After that georgia southern game where they barely won in overtime he got pissed off in a press conference because a couple people criticized the team, he pulled his classic "we won, what more can you ask for?!" shit. I want a coach like saban who will admit they played like shit and they won't let it happen again. anyone supporting richt were either casual georgia fans who don't watch half the games and only see our record at the end of the year, or non-georgia fans who don't watch our games, don't know who our recruits are, and just see our record at the end of the year.
>>63885216
The SEC is God's conference, shut your mouth you faggot.
>>63885122
After the top 4 in the Big 12, it's a sizable drop. The worst teams in the Pac12 are probably Oregon St. and Colorado and I would put those teams up against Kansas, IowaSt, and Kansas St.
>>63885047
Yeah but Vanderbilt has great academics and KU has basketball.
People forget that teams bring value to a conference outside of football. Okie Lite has a perennial shit football team but they have the GOAT wrestling program.
>>63885291
Your not even using the trip my man
>>63885192
I understand this one. They just fucked up hiring Riley of all people.
>>63885297
Colorado lost to Hawaii.
>>63885216
9 SEC teams have finished top 5 this decade, with 2 more appearing in the top 5. 1 of the ones that hasn't is a powerhouse. This means every SEC team has tasted success and wants more, as opposed to an Illinois fan who would be satisfied with remaining bowl eligible.
Haven't had 2 gut-wrenching losses like this since 2005. I'm bootyblasted.
>>63885216
>Bama successful
Is it 2011 again?
>>63884902
>yfw Grip n Sip has a better conference record than Stanford
Theres a decent chance Jacob Eason won't come here anymore but I'm starting to think he was overrated anyways.
>>63885573
That kid is trash and you're right to not care.
He's goign to be one of those guys who rides the bench for 3 years then starts a year and graduates
>>63885474
And of those 9 teams only 4 actually deserved to finish top 5
>>63885137
I dunno about Moo-U, but after suffering through Coach O and the latter half of Nutt's tenure, I'm pleased as punch that Freeze has brought the program from 2 win seasons to knocking on the door of the SEC West title, two years in a row, with only one top recruiting class.
I'm disappointed they're not going to Atlanta, sure, but the Sugar Bowl is a good bowl game, and (especially if Kelly stays) the future looks bright.
>>63884990
TTU beat Arkansas in Arkansas and they're like the third best team in the conference. The SEC doesn't have the offense to compete with the big 12 this year, the only exception to that is Bama who can really hog the ball.
Let's look at this Georgia fan's list

>>63885615

>gets knocked off by unheralded team
>team 1 must be slightly worse than we thought, but team 2 is certainly at least as good as we thought team 1 was.
>>63885475
You should be happy you got exposed now instead of wrongfully getting into the CFB and getting bootyblasted on a bigger stage like Alabama did to you before.
>>63885615
Finishing with two losses is generally enough to be top 5, which nine SEC teams have done. Maybe you could be more specific?
>>63885475
You were really lucky you were even in that Clemson game
>>63885717
lol
I doubt any of those is going to leave without being fired, much less for jawja
>>63885717
How does delusion like this develop? Is it just a southern thing?
>>63885754
They played in the SEC; there is NO schedule tougher than the SEC.
>>63885735
shouldn't >we have been exposed by the 2 p5 conference champs we beat that year? And now we call losing to a top 10 team on the road on a 45 year field goal "exposed"?
I'm actually just happy we did this well with all of those major injuries. Looking forward to getting spanked by tOSU in the Fiesta Bowl, now my NYE won't be ruined.
>>63885821
It's a overestimating prestige

How so? It will probably be Kirby Smart because hes georgia alum and pretty much said this is the only HC job he'd take. I'd be damned happy with Dan Mullen and I'm not sure why you think he wouldn't come here without being fire. UGA is a much better program than miss state and its in the easier division.

What was the score going into the fourth?
>Rutgers president just fired the football coach and AD.
It's time for Schiano to return. At least he knows how to keep thugs in check and have modest success on the field.
>>63885894
Not much of an improvement and poor job security
>>63885947
it was a multiple score game, but that's in part due to drops and turnovers, like I already said. I don't know how that's lucky.
>>63885965
part of that recipe was avoiding being in the big10. Rutgers is fucked.
>>63885982
>not much of an improvement
>>63885899

>>63886128

>>63886094

Isn't that the appeal of Georgia?
>>63885717
>mike bobo
>>63886162
If they hadn't taken the 4th off it wouldn't have been close
Not to mention just how conservatively Clemson's offense played
>>63886189
What cruel irony
>>63886026
That's just it.....in a division with Michigan, OSU, MSU, and PSU, a string of three or four loss seasons would be acceptable by the fanbase there.
Schiano built the program and he could literally hold the job for the rest of his life if he wants, because Rutgers fans just want to be regularly competitive.....and even if A handful of Rutgers fans have an SEC win at all costs mentality, they don't have the power there. Schiano is a disciplinarian who is very unlikely to let his players embarrass you.
>>63886213
again, those terrible drops and turnovers were a significant element of that. That's the opposite of luck, friend. ND had like 135 yards of total offense in the first quarter despite kicking off to start the game. Truly dominated.
I'm not arguing about this anymore, you're spouting memes.
>>63886175
#3 state in the country for recruiting, great facilities, always overrated in preseason polls due to blue blood status, no cowbells, more money, much easier road to SECCG.
>>63886297

>>63886297

How many targets did Fuller have?
>>63886332

>Blue blood
>>63886385

They had less than 4 yards a play in the first half
Throw out the 20-25s because lel those rankings and Alabama has played 1 ranked team all season and lost to them
muh brand recognition
>>63886610
no its not much, but considering the conditions, drops and turnovers, it's far from being dominated.
>>63886276
Yeah the floor for Rutgers is pretty much "don't be Maryland or Purdue"

>>63887398
Its literally all a ploy to give Bama more Top 25 wins
I wish I was making this up but just look at the AP and Committee polls all year. Wisconsin get thrown to 25 each other week, and a random SEC team that Bama has beaten gets ranked in the twenties

>>63885741
BCS/Ny6 bowl wins should be what you're going by. Like I said earlier, 9 win seasons are great but SEC teams only play 8 conference games and then play 3 games against demonstrably inferior (FCS, MAC, G5) teams.
With your current set up, getting to 4 wins should be automatic. Now all you have to do is finish in the top half of a 14 team conference that inludes TAMU, Mizzou, UK, and Vanderbilt and you're guaranteed 9 wins
>>63885833
Really? Not a single team in your conference is scary and with the exception of Bama for most teams I'd think the two best teams from any other conference would be favored over the SEC's best teams

ESPN and the committee are fucking geniuses, honestly.
>>63888287
I don't think ESPN's NFL division likes to ever interact with the NCAA division
Mike Tirico isn't the Saturday Night Football play-by-play guy because the MNF crew want him there for production meetings
>>63888460
A-at least both our teams won 10 games this year, r-right?
>>63888532
The committee isn't
They denied ESPN's request to move the playoffs for no fucking reason whatsoever
>>63888640
Move them? I haven't heard about this.
But as far as discussion goes, the committee's actual rankings and explanations are pretty genius too since it sparks so much outrage and talk.
>>63888532
It's true, the sports news cycle is controlled from above, with room for things that are shocking and sudden....or just gossipy.
>>63888640
That's a great move by the committee though.
Getting the CFPlayoffs ingrained in the New Year's tradition is the smartest way to go in the long run. ESPN's being short sighted.
>>63888634
Tbh finishing the regular season with two big losses hurts a bit.
How the fuck did Rutgers get into the B1G 10 in the first place?
>>63884268
>peer pressure
It's just common sense. LSU is a dumpster fire financially. Spending 15 million to buy out les miles would be retarded.
While there he has:
>won the natty
>regularly has some of the best recruiting classes in the country
>became the winningest coach in LSU history by percentage.
LSU can only go down from Les Miles.
Here's how to fix the program though: Instead of paying millions of dollars to fire your pretty amazing coach, pay an LSU fan 15 dollars an hour to follow Les Miles around during games and remind him how to manage the clock.

I like how jawja fans are already deluding themselves into thinking the dumpster fire has been put out merely by firing an above average coach.

Well we disagree and we'll see how it goes. I think the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl both have to be on New Year's Day. It would really fucking with the whole Parade of Roses to move it.
>>63888997
>>63888784
I think it just means most people aren't going to watch the playoffs. The late game on the East Coast won't be watched at all, except maybe at bars. All 20-30 somethings go out for new years or have a party that isn't going to be cfb playoff themed.
It just means if you want to watch the playoffs you'll have to be anti-social.

Why does the Sugar Bowl have to be on New Year's Day? It wasn't during the BCS
It was on New Year's Eve four times in the 70's
>>63888640
Disney (more specifically ESPN) wanted to move the game because its on a Monday Night which could potentially conflict with MNF. The CFB season is already long enough when you figure in bowl games and conference championship games. Disney wants to squeeze out every dime it can get by putting MNF and the National Championship game on ESPN. I can't say I don't blame them, but that's what happens when you try to serve two masters
>>63889142
I don't understand why you're making excuses when the situation could easily be improved for all parties involved
>>63889244
Everything about this post is wrong
>>63889244
???????
December 31st is a Thursday
They tried moving it to a Saturday
Why do the semifinals even have to be existing bowl games? Why can't the semifinals just be separate and the NY6 and keep the NY6 how they've always been.
Keep the Rose Bowl the B1G vs the Pac 12. No ACC team should play in the Rose Bowl.
>>63889291
excuses? I'm saying they should move new years eve playoffs. New Years day is fine, but having them on new years eve is dumb
>>63889381
Adds prestige to the semifinals
>>63889383
Oops
Didn't see the intention behind your post
>>63889381
Bowl people are behind the playoffs
It isn't NCAA affilated
>>63889381
yeah basically this >>63889418; semifinals are more prestigious and the bowl games are also more relevant making more money for them.
>>63889381
Because the Rose Bowl doesn't want the 2nd place teams of the B1G and Pac12 when the 1st place teams are in the playoff bowls. They would be literally losing money.
>>63889037
Theres nothing dumpster fire about our program. We're just tired of being mediocre.
December 31th is a fucking lame date for me.
Everyone will be wasted by the time the game starts and I need to be somewhere where I actually can watch the game.
Last year was dope as fuck. A fucking hangover, a blanket and some friends.
>>63889298
>>63889355
It wasn't just the semi-final being moved if I'm correct. There was also talks of NFL playoff games airing the same night as the CFP Final. I would imagine ESPN would be in a bit of bind then considering they have contracts with both company's
>>63889568
Dude yes. New Years day was GOAT. Hungover as shit, getting comfy watching the playoffs.
Now I'm going to have to be like. Let's go out to a place with a TV or just look at score updates on my phone; both incredibly autistic.
>>63889568
Blame the Sugar Bowl
Or the CFP giving them the a permanent spot on New Year's Day for no fucking reason
>>63889478
So was Nebraska
>>63889613
CFP Final is on a Monday (no playoff games for the NFL happen on Mondays)
Jan 2nd is still week 17 of the NFL regular season. Thus, no NFL that day either since week 17, every team plays on Sunday.
>>63889702
The NFL wanted to put a playoff game on Monday night
But that's a completely different situation
>>63889773
That would be a scheduling disaster and eventually would cause too much of an unfair advantage for one team where they play on Monday, then because of the way seeding and scheduling happens, they'd play the next Saturday, giving them only 5 days rest.
>>63889635
>Now I'm going to have to be like. Let's go out to a place with a TV or just look at score updates on my phone; both incredibly autistic
Welcome to my world
>>63889830
Not if those teams played the next Sunday
6 day rests are a common occurrence in the playoff
>>63889896
I know that, but one time, that situation will occur because of how seeding will come out and it will fuck some team over.
Just leave them on the weekend. I'm tired of the NFL trying to turn the entire week into an NFL game.
>>63889880
Oh shit, even for day games on euro time. Do you just stay up to ungodly hours to watch evening games? Are PAC games still on when you wake up?
>>63890024
this. I haven't watched a TNF game except once this season because I got shit to do.
>>63890024
Gotta get that money
I expect that it wouldn't happen until the NFL expanded the playoffs to 14
And they can't until they can get the CFP to move
>>63889640
Why do you keep comparing Georgia to Nebraska? You fucking wish Nebraska could be on our level. Georgia is the number 3 state for recruits in the country, Nebraska has an excuse for not being good, Georgia should be Alabama or UF tier.
>>63890092
They still get monster ratings
>>63890156
This level of delusion is hilarious
>>63890179
yeah, they are making booku cash, but it still annoys me lol
>>63890251
Do you matter?
The purpose of pro sports is to make money
>>63890179
What was that Jags/Titans game ratings? I don't understand how so many people can waste their time watching these awful matchups.
>>63890047
Basically my saturday schedule since September was:
3pm : GameDay
6pm to 4/5am: Watching game
I almost didn't watch any Pac 12 games for two reasons, first I only like Cal in the conference and secondly because the gmes are too fucking early in the morning. Haha
>>63890302
I don't. I didn't say they should change it; it's a good business decision.
>>63890325
lol damn, that's committment
>>63890305
Low as fuck compared to other stand alone time slots but better than if the game had been played on Sunday at 1
That's all that matters
Reminder that if you think Iowa is better than Stanford you are subjectively and objectively wrong
8 team playoff when
>>63890504
Iowa didn't lose to Northwestern
And thankfully never
Y'all kept bitching so I went and fixed cfb for you.
P5 conferences are surprisingly balanced across several polls
Only changes that need to be made are perhaps conference/division realignment of the MM teams.
Will eliminate crappy teams getting bowl bids, remove some of the controversy around playoff bids, and do so without lengthening the season at all.
It's not perfect but it's better than the BCS or what we have now.
You're welcome fuckers.
>>63890504
When The CFP Comittee decides what bowl(s) will be part of system
>Stanford being better than the team that beat Northwestern
>>63890582
>Fuck off to FCS includes Kansas
Stopped reading right there. Sure, Football is more important than basketball, but that's just stupid
>>63890582
This is worse than before
There's no fucking reason to keep 5 conferences
>>63890582
I like Dan Wetzel's solution better
>>63890672
>implying FCS isn't still D1
>>63890634
Thing is literally every team in the FBS is going to finish with a loss. Iowa is going to lose to Mich State and Clemson is going to lose to whoever they draw in the first round
So you can probably make a chain of victory where Appalachian State has a W over the team who beat the team who beat the team who beat the team who beat the team who beat national champion Alabama
>>63890729
i like it too but teams don't want to play 16 games
>>63890791
Slippery Rock was the national champions in 1936
>>63890582
>Memphis in the SECW
Outside of this year, would literally go 0-8 in play most years. This is the only year they would've been "good" with 3 conference wins.
>>63890729
link?
>>63890848
You can't reduce other team's schedules for this
That's the biggest issue
>There's 40 bowls this year so we literally have to have at least 3 5-7 teams go to a bowl
disgusting, absolutely
>>63890979
Then don't watch the games with a 5-7 team
>>63890979
>tfw will probably get to blowout a B1G 8-4 meme team who hasn't played any real competition all year
Bowl season when you're mediocre is the best
>>63890979
Did they increase the number of bowls again?
>>63890979
Bowl games are stupid anyways so I don't even care.
8 team playoff
5 major champions
1 midmajor champion (seriously throw them a bone, even if it gives the 1 seed a first round bye)
2 at-larges
So basically assuming no surprises in championship week
1 Clemson
2 Bama
3 Oklahoma
4 Mich State
5 Ohio State
6 Stanford
7 Iowa/Florida State/TCU/Notre Dame
8 Houston
that second wildcard would be Bama or Clemson if they lost their championship obv
>>63890582
12 conferences
8 team playoff
11 game regular season
pro/rel, only 6 conferences eligible for playoffs.
>>63891107
the only reason non-NY6 Bowls exist is for advertising dollars
>>63891007
>We won less than 42% of our games! Let's go to the postseason!
>>63891051
>B1G bowl season
bowl season seriously only exists for conference shit talking
>>63891107
Yes
>>63891175
No fucking way they reduce the number of games
>>63890746
But there conference schedule wouldn't be Big 12 anymore, now would it?
>>63891155
>implying the 2 wild cards wouldn't go to SEC teams every year
>>63891155
This would be ideal I guess. Iowa would be a joke.
>>63891209
We really need to stop this philosophy with sports
>>63884268
>OT vs GSU
You guys fucking suck
>>63891292
Thats what got Richt fired.
>>63890881
>>63891421
Is Death to BCS worth reading?
>>63891421
No
Fuck that shit
>>63891231
yes, there's no way they'd do my setup for a number of reasons, but it'd be the best
Rumor abound that Richt will stick around at UGA but in a different position.
>>63890582
>>63891155
>>63891175
holy shit you all are fucking retarded. Bowl season is about interesting match ups between good teams that usually never ever play each other.
CFB doesn't need any fixing. Win your conference, and then enjoy bowl season. The plus one is perfect. If you win your conference and don't lose more than a game, you get to contend for a title. Otherwise fuck off. There's literally NO REASON for two teams from the same conference to play each other in a playoff game ever.
All this playoff stuff just makes it more like the NFL, when cfb is really all about hate. You hate your rivals and try to beat them each year. Winning your conference is how you can say, 'look at me, I'm better than all you fucks.' Nobody in the south hates pac teams and vice versa, why should I care if I'm better or worse than them?
>>63890582
>Penn State
>Mid-Major
>>63891476
We could eliminate a power conference and just have the conference Champions play for it
>>63891470
Can't say I read it. I just thought this solution made more sense seeing that all conferences have some representation.
>>63890582
>implying the NCAA has any power over the conferences
I like your midwest set up bro but the Conferences are all independent entities that choose to let the NCAA enforce rules they all agree on.
>>63891551
Why the fuck should G5 conferences have equal representation in the playoffs as a P5 conference?
>>63891517
you need to calm down.
I actually wouldn't hate going back to the old system, but that's been dead since the late 90s. So now that we've embarked down this path, you might as well do it right.
Also, while you've touched on what makes cfb special, you are pretending your extreme opinion is universal, when it's not even shared by the majority. There's a reason national rankings and national championships are important.
>>63891421
what year is this even from
>>63891472
Why not? The parity would be great for the game
>>63891604
What ever year Auburn won the BCS title.
>>63891607
That's not parity
Those are boring ass rapes
>>63891604
Looks like 2010
>>63890582
kill yourself with your reddit tier systems
>>63891517
I just care about seeing the best team come out on top. I wish we could do a 6 team playoff but that'd be way too unfair for whatever team arbitrarily gets the 3 seed vs. the 2 seed. It sucks to see a champion of a non-shit conference (TCU/Baylor last year, Stanford this year) be left out is the problem
>>63891593
Why shouldn't they? Think about how great stories like FGCU and Butler were during March Madness. It gets more people interested to see if the underdog teams will actually go far in the playoff
>>63891594
I probably do need to calm down.
But I think it's about balance. What makes cfb fun and exciting is the rivalries and history. OOC matchups are exciting too, and so is getting a national champions. But at some point it just becomes as bland as the NFL.
>>63891550
yeah that'd be the best. The Big Twelve was so close to falling apart too... god damn it does the Pac have to take one for the team and accept Texas
>>63891678
They shouldn't have lost
>>63891607
Why would parity be great for a sport where some teams are massive fanbases with 100000 people stadiums and others can't get 10 people to go to the game for free? Anything that gives G5 schools a chance at all is categorically bad for the sport.
>>63891653
Just like Utah vs. Alabama right?
>>63891721
Actually I'd cannibalize the ACC
It's just a basketball conference anyways
>>63891604
2010
>>63891726
with a slightly different playoff committee makeup, Ohio State doesn't get in last year with that VTech loss and we might be talking about Alabama or Oregon as the national champion
>>63891764
Literally none of those games are on that tier
>>63891800
Expanding the playoffs just shifts the controversy
Who would be #6 this year?
>>63890582
>No ivys
Still sucks lad
>>63891719
i agree with all that. the old bowl system actually had some charm to it, but everyone decided to abandon that in the quest determine the true best team.
>>63891876
>6 team playoff
5 P5 champions, 1 G5 champ (Houston)
The only problem with 6 is that it's not a power of 2. Yes I fully agree that no matter where the cutoff is we'll argue over the last teams in, but it sucks to not include each major conference
>>63891716
Because college football is different than basketball. Anybody can have a basketball team and fill a basketball arena. And the tournament can be held in neutral stadiums in rapid succession of games. People will go to see a couole NCAA tournament games.
A football game costs 5 times that amount, can only have one game played at a site, and requires attendance of both teams to make the cross-country trek in order to sell out stadiums.
Imagine if Houston and NIU played in a National title game that took place at the Rose Bowl. Who the fuck would attend that game? Nobody is going to pay the price of a title game ticket to go watch two teams they don't give a shit about play, and neither team could garner even near enough fans to go there.
You'd have a title game in a half-full stadium fulk of neutral fans that bought a ticket because the game was so uninteresting that tickets cost them $20. That's not an exciting college football atmosphere.
The NC should be, like always, a massive event that competes with the World Series and Super Bowl, not an event that has less people in attendance than the Texas high school state championship game
>>63891737
People still go to all the march madness games regardless of how small the school is.
I expect come playoff time, at a decently sized neutral site, every matchup would be a sellout or >90% sellout
PSU fired their OC. Pedo State on the rise.
>>63891719
>as bland as the NFL
lol there's a reason the NFL is a much bigger industry despite having 1/5 of the teams and not having people literally tied to them for life based on alumni status
It's a better product.
>>63891980
Except the actual games suck
What time is the official college football ranking coming out??? Fuck the AP poll
