I’m so happy to hear this. I can stop holding my breath.

No one is showing up to any bowls anymore. Unless the invited team has a local fan base. Bowls never mattered, but with them all being on TV and then being devalued by a championship, and now completely devalued by a 12 team playoffs, bowls that are deciding based on “travel” are just foolish.

Got it. Thanks. I misunderstood

Also, most importantly, the 12 team playoffs changed this equation completely.

If you want positive thoughts go watch replays from a few seasons ago under the previous head coach.

FSU is currently suing the NCAA to leave for the NFL.

Isn’t that the exactly what I’ve been saying? That was my original point as well. Texas clearly had a better argument to be in the CFP than SMU (irrespective of which team you think is better). The real discussion was whether Alabama had a better claim than SMU. For me, clearly, the correct...

Playoff seeding rules are terrible. Oregon would have been better off losing than winning.

Isn’t an OT loss closer by definition? So again, Texas has more right to stay in than SMU. Anyways, it looks like the committee did the right thing and dropped Bama, not Texas nor SMU.

Clearly Texas stays and SMU doesn’t in this scenario. Texas was already higher ranked than SMU and lost to a higher ranked team than SMU lost to. A better question is if they fall below Alabama.

Great play by the players. They dug deep and they fought hard. Good coaching job as well until the last few minutes. I can’t entirely fault the coaches for the prevent defense etc., but the OT decision making was awful. We had to go for 2 at the end of the 1st OT. But also the many play...

My bad. It was the NC State AD not the ACC commissioner. Doesn’t change that the ACC doesn’t stand up for itself. if you wanna blame the Tobacco Road mafia I’m right there with you. The SEC would speak with a unified voice for decades in support of SEC teams relative to a non SEC team...

I agree. My point is that the ACC dropped the ball last year by not throwing a fuss about an undefeated ACC team not making it to the playoffs. When the ACC quietly accepted that a 1 loss Big 12 team is better than an undefeated ACC team (heck, the ACC commissioner was in the selection...

I agree that the ACC is punished for the same stuff the Big 10 and SEC are rewarded. But this is the worst year to make that argument. 3 of the 4 Big 10 teams are in the bottom 4 of the Big 10. Minnesota is midway in the Big 10 standings. This. Last year was when we could have complained. We...

The $10mm makes this a no brainer. That's more money than we make in ticket sales throughout a season. We are currently being paid about $5mm for the current slate of MBS games. Adding another $5mm on top makes a lot of sense. Besides, it's less embarrassing to play an away game in MBS than...

College football being led by an SEC stooge who vehemently resisted the formation of players unions that the colleges could bargain with is what led to this mess. The fact that players were gonna be paid was inevitable. With conferences signing billion dollar contracts and HCs being paid more...

One could also argue that we were the classic trap game for Louisville who will be facing a ranked ND next week ina game with huge implications for the playoffs for both teams. That being said I wouldn’t take the result to mean much for the coaching unit just yet, being early in the season...

I don’t agree with this logic. Betting on our team would also mean betting that the D could stop them from 2nd and 22. And their special teams would be kicking off from further behind with more pressure. And the highlight of our team the entire game was special teams. Taking the penalty is...

The NCAA is performing its job perfectly well. Getting people to complain about the NCAA while the brands of the colleges which actually run the NCAA are untouched.

Lol. Last year there were 0 SEC teams in the Elite Eight and yet the SEC earned the most Units. What a joke. SEC is laughing all the way to the bank and the ACC office isn't even saying anything.
