Never underestimate the power of oil tycoons.
All I saw was UGA blantantly (comically) holding on every pass. Was egregious on their game-tying drive. Guess if they're not going to call it, why not? The number of cheap shots (targeting, punching HK after a tackle was obvious). But it's ACC refs so why not screw your own conference.
Is it one of those stupid misleading stats that hinges on the fact we didnt call it "FBS" until recently?
Like how there are "premiere league" records but the prem only started in 1992 so everything before that is kinda hand waved away
The most VT thing would be to get off that list by shifting to a negative turnover ratio.
I'm assuming somewhere between the Mouse's stat person, script writer, and editors they got "program history" and "FBS history"'mixed up
There's two different conversation happening here:
- How big should the playoff be?
- How should teams be selected?
If cfb is going to select over half of the post season field based on how they 'look', then they open themselves up to pageantry judgement. You can argue that's a feature or a bug, but it's reality.
Also, don't golf tournaments do this too? They don't advance a set number of people each round. They don't decide a required score before the round starts. Each round, the scores come in, and they find an arbitrary line where scores drop off.
In most years in college football, it's pretty easy to draw that line. Some years it's 1-2 teams, some years it's 3-4 teams, sometimes it's 6-8 teams. It's almost never 12 teams.
We should just go ahead and sell the athletic department to some rich Saudi schmuck to put his billions into as a plaything just like every other global sport seems to be doing nowadays. We're probably going to end up there anyway, just get ahead of the game
It should have been 3 loss Georgia as well after last night/this morning.

ESPN/ABC couldn't get more shameless if they tried
This, and promo/relogation, and CFB will be the best it ever has been.
Three levels of two 16 team leagues. That's 128 teams. Boom. Easy.
All of a sudden every FSU game is must watch TV as they get relegated.
Nope, nothing interesting. Just exactly how you thought it would go w an $EC sweetheart in the game.
GT looked so good in the first half yesterday. I went to bed at half. I assume nothing interesting happened after that
AND I AM HERE FOR IT
no moral victory, a loss like that in rivalry week absolutely would gut me for weeks.
The real tragedy is that UGA won't suffer for this at all.
Good night all. Hoping for better results later today.
Well shit
Well that was a kick in the groin
Will this game be over by the SEC title game?
6ot is dumb
5ot is dumb
Maybe a makeup call there swallowing the whistle on that failed 2pt try
This is just such a wild, entitled take.
College football is a massive outlier in the world of team sports. Even now less than 1% of the field makes it to the postseason. That's still a crazy lean field. No other sport anywhere has such a small field.
I'm not sure if you're expecting 12 undefeated, flawless and unbeatable teams to make it to "the field", but using language like "deserving" is some pompous language.
Nobody says shit like that in sports. I get that our postseason has been so fucking stupid for so fucking long, but don't trash the creep of improvement.
Is an opinion that "99.9% of the college basketball teams are undeserving trash that should never play in the postseason?" taken seriously? Are they taking this very serious advice and slimming down on March Madness?
Shit, only like the one seeds ever win the damn thing. Why even hold a tournament? Just hand the top 1 seed a trophy every year and save us all the effort.
You do know that college football has far more upset potential per spread than college basketball games? Football is far less predictable, even considering the difference in scoring, than basketball.
We DON'T want to see that play out on a real sports field?
This will be the first season we actually see a real bracket with auto bids. Just because we've never had a 68-team playoff doesn't mean we need to mail it in and go back to voting the postseason away.
College football is neither boring nor predictable. And hopefully the last sport where we EVER used (past tense, fingers crossed) fucked up language like "deserving" to describe who gets handed an unearned tiara.
Tournaments. It's what sports do.

Definition of the rule
Watching Elko on Gameday this morning. Tremendous coach. Absolute travesty that he was interested in the VT job and we turned him down for Pry. Thanks Ballein for lobbying for your buddy!
