# | And so it begins - CFP to discuss eliminating the auto-bye for conference champions I mean, we're a TV nation, and sports are easier to watch than most of the other nonsense.
I GOTTA BE ME!

# | And so it begins - CFP to discuss eliminating the auto-bye for conference champions . And I'm not a fan of Texas and Penn State getting a virtual pass to the semifinals by playing those "Top 4 seeded" teams.
Having watched the ASU-TX game today, not sure TX thinks they had a "virtual pass"- was one of the most entertaining of the CFP playoff games thus far...
If they are seeded based on rankings alone, then rankings shouldn't be allowed to be made until week 6.
ESPN and voters never punish Top 10 P2 teams properly when they lose. An SEC team loses to an unranked SEC and they go down 2 spots but stay in the Top 10 if not Top 5. ACC team loses to the same team and they're dropped to the 11-16 spots.
This is the argument I was making several years ago.
There are too many teams and not enough games played to even get close to seeding a playoff.
Keep it at conference championships and a small number of key invitational bowl games and allow the argumentation in the offseason.
From my small and insignificant observations, it appeared to me that Delane missed when he also felt the need to play Safety as well as his own position on particular plays.
I am harboring a sneaking suspicion that the Safety play was actually the weak point.
Just as we had had other problems on the defense with guys not playing with decisiveness, they lacked confidence with other guys behind the Dline and they were hedging their bets on some plays.
College football and basketball both had something unique, basketball still has the tourney, and it delivers. Football has nothing which meant every week mattered. No other sport would you be out of you own control with a single loss. It was amazing, September mattered, now it doesn't matter until late December. What was 3 months is now 3 weeks all for what? An OSU team to have more losses than Oregon, that win the same conference and lost to OSU to be crowned champions? This isn't the NFL where 6-8 or so teams have a legit shot at the championship, its even less. We've removed the importance of 98% of the games played for maybe 3 teams. We never needed a national title game much less a playoff.
PJ Fleck is Stan from Office Space in disguise as a Football Coach
The refs did review that one and correctly decided it was not targeting. didn't lean in and didn't even hit his helmet. The review showed his head whiplashed because the contact to the receiver's shoulder stopped him so abruptly.
12% of the College football fanbase vehemently disagrees with you...fans of Ohio State, Georgia, Texas, Georgia, and Alabama i.e. the only teams with any hope of sustainable success in the current shitshow.
NFL fans too. The NFL fans who are casual CFB viewers love where CFB is going. More helmet games, easier to watch future draft picks, better on-the-field-football, etc.

The other 88% are either somewhere along the path of losing interest or wasting their income donating to NIL collectives in some veiled hope that it has any benefit whatsoever.
oh I don't think I've watched a single CFP game live, ever. Like, anytime in the last 10 years, haha.
Then again I don't have TV, I just have streaming. If I want to watch a VT game or the important parts of the VT game, I have youtube. For everything else, I have y'all.
I havent watched a single minute of any cfp games. they arent getting my viewership number.
I'm drinking, I promise
Of course. They would have earned it in the format that exists. My issue with expansion was always more about losing elements of what I think makes college football unique rather than it not being a legitimate way to handle a postseason.
Regardless, if Ohio State happens to win it all, they absolutely deserve it. Going 4-0 against the gauntlet of a 10-win Tennessee, undefeated Oregon, Texas, and then potentially Georgia makes you unquestionably the national champion and best team in the country. But if this is all just about the best teams going head to head to determine THE best team, and not the most deserving teams based on the regular season or conference races, then just scrap conference championship games and throw the top 12 teams in the bracket and call it a day. Rename it the College Football Pageant (CFP).
James Feanklin will lose to the first competent coach
Yep I always used 2021 Ohio State and 2022 Bama as examples of exactly what this Ohio State team is doing. In a 12 team, both of those teams would have gotten in with a home game, dodged their CCG, and both would have had a real shot at winning a title because of their elite talent. Bama was the only team to beat UGA (and twice) since 2020 until they lost to Ole Miss a couple months ago. That team with Bryce Young and Will Anderson would have at least had a chance to give 2022 UGA a game, much like they beat a better 2021 UGA when they had their two best WR's and their two starting corners, which they didn't have in the rematch. For that 2021 Ohio State team, they would have still had their 3 (4?) first round wide receivers and CJ Stroud, which would have given them a chance against either 21 UGA or Bama. However, I was fine with both of those teams not making the playoff, because they didn't earn it in the regular season by losing two critical regular season games. This Ohio State team lost 2 out of the 3 games they could realistically lose in the regular season, and now look poised and locked in to win a national title. Obviously, they could still lose to someone else, but it will be one of Texas, Georgia, Notre Dame, or Penn State who will stop them... Not exactly a list of underdog programs.
Though as I say that Oregon has made it 34-15 so it's not totally out of the realm of possibility that they could also lose to this Oregon, which is the number one overall seed.
Yep, I've been beating the same drum.
All we did was make the Michigan game less important.
I mean, this is the real answer.
But it didn't have the same impact.
I hear what you are saying. But would say "I hate what college football has turned into" instead.
Either way, that play was much more targeting than the one at the end.

I hate college football.
What's better than a thumb on the scale?
Two thumbs on the scale, built in to the structure of the scale.
