We should get rid of 16 seeds in the ncaa tournament too because they always lose.
If that's your logic, then every team should have a go at the playoff.
Soooo...Poindexter for DC. Who for OL?
But to show you how bad it is across all of College football, Braelin Moore was the highest rated interior offensive lineman in the portal.
In the past we had signing day flips, now we have portal flips. Beamer and SCar lost a LB two days after he committed to Ole Miss. Days of the Bag...
Different situation, a lot of the Fork Union guys were "grey shirts". Mostly guys who didn't have the grades or test scores to get into VT, so they spent a year at FUMA, with the understanding that they'd come to VT once they qualified.
Alabama whining about not getting in with three losses is a perfect example. Want to be in the playoffs? Don't lose three games. I don't care who you lost to, win or go home, babies.
this is a hysterical comment, but also: the FSU Warchant would like a word.
I can't watch Texas or Oklahoma on tv because they play their stupid ass fight songs after every play. Texas playing "I've been working on the railroad" would be the dumbest thing that ever happened in a football game if it weren't for UVA.
Can he do all three? DE, OL and Power forward?
I think once they got a look at him and his measurables/athlericism, he's a guy you absolutely take a chance on.
JC too
Ridiculously good pull here soup
there aren't 12 teams that are nearly on a Championship level.
There's about one season every decade where there's more than 3 'championship level' teams. Most years it's 1-2.
Yep, that's a perfect example of SEC entitlement right there. Ironically, I think this year's playoffs may end up showing that the SEC isn't actually very good this year.
If Ohio State didn't have to play Oregon next week, I think there would be a very good chance that 3 of the 4 semifinal teams would be Big 10, because I'd favor either of those teams against Texas, and certainly Penn State over Boise State. I'll also take Notre Dame over a very overrated Georgia.
Oh 1000% agree.
Problem is, there is no motivation for any of the Conferences (particularly the P2) to do that.
In light of that not happening, I am interested in seeing competitive football games rather than trying to pretend like SMU, Indiana, and Arizona St. have any realistic chance of competing.
I'm choosing to read it as- we have our guys locked in, and they've given the okay to let the recruits know, but they're still in the hunt for the natty and they don't want to go public with it yet and have it become a distraction for their current teams/players
We need to have true revenue sharing and collective bargaining with all conferences involved to start with. Then I think we need conference retraction long term because these bloated super conferences just aren't sustainable. More, smaller conferences again so you can play a true round robin schedule or at least divisional format that makes sense, and all conference champs get autobids. Then the conference championship is basically a de facto first round of the playoff. Should only have 2-4 at large teams max.
If we got back to a P6 with six ten member conferences (60 teams), all champs get autobids, plus a few G5 champs, and 3-4 at large teams max, I think that's a great playoff setup.
That's my main problem with it. Not opposed to 12 but the season being extended almost two months from the end of the regular season through championship weekend and then four rounds of the playoff is pretty crazy. They needed to have the first round last weekend and the second round should have been this weekend. Semis around New Years and championship game the week after as has been the case for a while now. I also think the first two rounds need to be at the team's home stadiums (way better environment for playoffs and less neutral site travel), then the Sugar/Orange/Rose host the semis and national championship each year and rotate.
🏈 STICK IT IN! 🏈

# | Hokie Hoops Central: Virginia Tech (5-6) at St Joes (7-4) 12pm CBSSN This is how good our seats were.
1. 8 Teams, ordered by Ranking
I stopped reading here. This won't do anything to solve the issues with the cfp. You need to shrink it back down to 4 and make conference championship a requirement to make it in. Top 4 ranked conference champions get in. Hard stop.
You want to play in the playoff? Win your fucking conference. Too many goddamn snowflakes in cfb now. Everyone wants a shot and the sec and big think they are entitled and nobody is more butthurt at not getting in than sec and big fans. Fucking softies.

IMO the only problem with the 12 team playoff is the scheduling. Which is a problem with a lot of college football, shouldn't wait nearly this long to play the first round of games.
It's really the only position that pry hasn't been able to address in a single off-season (or at all really).
To be fair, no one has really been able to do this. Our real problem is that high school recruiting for the offensive line has been nonexistent. And that's why Ron crook was fired.
Sure, no one wants this to be SEC v. B1G challenge just in football, but how do you even define a Conference Champion at this point with the conferences so bloated?
ACC is a perfect example SMU, Clemson and Miami never played each other. I think after watching yesterday, it's really hard to imagine that Cam Ward wouldn't have been more up to the task than Kevin Jennings.
I would much rather have interesting games than what we had yesterday.
And as far as players..I think the narrative that they are going to recieve is this: if you want a real shot to win a Championship--you go to OSU, TX, Georgia, ect...which they already are. Since they can transfer whenever they want, get paid, and keep playing more or less indefinitely by filing a lawsuit, there's no risk to being the 4th 5* WR to commit somewhere.
Indiana loses by 10:
This entire playoff is experimental. Things will change. Potential reseeding after round one. It may expand to 14 games. Change is inevitable. But let's make one non negotiable rule — Indiana can never be invited again.— Colin Cowherd (@colincowherd) December 21, 2024
SEC darling Tennessee loses by 25:
What did we learn from the first round of the college football playoffs? College teams get overwhelmed very quickly playing on the road. Just like the regular season.— Colin Cowherd (@colincowherd) December 22, 2024
Based on the portal commits we've hired a second RBs coach and passed on the OL altogether.
