i tried this 2 weeks ago and the firestorm of negative rep led by the self-endowed was 2nd only to my original take to opt of out the game entirely however, i had not thought of and was re-educated on the problem of no one else on campus who needs development snaps caldwell is gone after this game and no one else is here yet so arch it is

look you stupid sip, in 2021 for a few minutes in december aggy had to momentarily suspend all female students in order to forfeit the gator bowl as an all-male COLLEGE, before resuming normal service as the standing host of the north american nuremberg light festival of fire, which is why that game doesn't count in the win-loss totals... for bowl games.... as a co-ed institution..... that likes to play with fire

i know you have to replatform that said the new feel is texags/secrant to me - i perceive an increase of wasted real estate - maybe just me below see the same post - above is legacy - below is new - look at the subtle differences - in particular the reduction in the size of the graphic and the number of words on the 2nd line - multiply x100 per thread page and the clicks/scrolls is going up - and maybe there is no way around that quick uat stat, number of pgdn to reach end of page 1 of "the U" thread: legacy: 33 new: 35 one-line posts will not effect this - but this community is verbose multi-sentence paragraphs will increase pgdn significantly it appears that graphics are simply made smaller to compensate i never log in on my cell, but i also think you have to optimize for mobile form factor to make the site stickier with yutes to keep the place alive when you are the age of most of the community today you are going to have long previously made the site tiktokee

you're the gear head but in the context of tpq an "all up" launch with a game thread has an apollo 1 feel to it why not just point everyone to the test version and call it an alpha?

all of the words written and spoken about the structure of college football miss this key point: the name of the current structure is the Football BOWL Subdivision - the FBS we are 11 years in to the new era of the Football PLAYOFF League - we're just pretending it doesn't exist yet this season there were 136 teams in the FBS for avoidance of doubt, in 1978 the ncaa split the "top" level of college football in to: Division I-A (FBS): The top tier, which had specific criteria for membership, including average home game attendance requirements, 139 teams in 1978 Division I-AA (FCS): A new sub-level for programs that chose not to or could not meet the I-A criteria, which included a playoff system for a national championship, 38 teams in 1978 this change was undertaken with the expectation that the ivy league would voluntarily drop down, but they did not and were forced out 3 years later after the rest of college football wrote draconian rules that were written specifically to force them out there is precedent for a forced ejection of 8 schools in one stroke despite the massive economic power (endowments) and political power (duh) behind the ivies, they did not litigate the ncaa and accepted their fate this year, 2025, the ivies joined the fcs playoff field for the first time, 47 years after the split espn went on the air 7 september 1979 0u broke the tv cartel in 1984 in 2025, cbs and nbc are irrelevant, disney and fox own the 2 big leagues, and the breakaway is going to happen, the question is how many teams, and the governance of spending the ncaa is powerless to stop it domer's de-indpendence is a foregone conclusion, and their existence in the College Premiership is in question.... private schools are possibly at risk of not making the cut due to sovereign immunity needed to inoculate the rebels from litigation if i were a fan of one of these schools i would be concerned - as we saw during the last round of realignment the people at the top running universities are often..... deficient acc Boston College Duke Miami Syracuse Wake Forest SMU Stanford rig12 Baylor BYU TCU b1g Northwestern USC sec Vanderbilt indy Notre Dame that's 14 private schools currently with a seat in the current round of musical chairs their best defense against permanent exile would be to form their own conference immediately, today they stand no chance at recourse if they are standalone entities when the long knives are unsheathed

when i am reading a thread i want the maximum real estate utilization side-to-side which enables faster consumption with less paging/scrolling a thread needs to render side-to-side like this: on the new site 20% of the frame (on the right) is not content) and the default sizing in essence doubles the amount of paging/scrolling if we have to have blank space (obviously for future ads) it needs to be configurable for either the left or right side thank you sir for the work you have done to keep this community alive

@notre dame joe you should read this your celebration of special-ness is at terminal velocity answer the question deplatform domer Everybody wants to fix the College Football Playoff, but nobody seems to know how. There's a good reason for this. It's because the College Football Playoff isn't broken... college football is. On Saturday, college football die-hards and casuals alike tuned in to watch two games that were largely decided before a snap ever took place. Sure, the possibility of an upset always looms, but the first quarters of Ole Miss' 41-10 win over Tulane or Oregon's 51-34 win over James Madison made it clear quickly how those games would go. They were results that would do nothing to slow the ceaseless wave of the college football literati who had spent the last few weeks gnashing their teeth in despair over the possibility these blowouts would happen and what it would all mean. But the pearl-clutching, hemming and hawing are all directed at the wrong target. What we're seeing in the College Football Playoff is the result of a far bigger problem in the sport. College football has always been a top-heavy sport, and while we've seen a more even distribution of that weight up top thanks to NIL and the transfer portal (the GLP-1 of college football), on the whole, the sport is more top-heavy than ever before. Resources, talent shifting in one direction There is far more talent available and far more money coming in than at any time before, and it's all flowing overwhelmingly in one direction. If you look at the top recruiting classes for the 2026 cycle, you'll notice a couple of things. The first is that, for the first time since 2008, the top class in the country belongs outside of the SEC. USC took the honors this year, the first non-SEC program to do so since Miami way back when. Furthermore, Alabama is the only SEC school to finish in the top four, but while that's nice to see as far as spreading the talent around, it ignores the larger picture. Sure, the Big Ten has the top spot, but 23 of the top 35 classes call the Big Ten or SEC home. The only non-Big Ten and SEC schools to crack the top 20 were Notre Dame, Miami, Florida State, North Carolina, Texas Tech and Clemson. Of those six, only Notre Dame and Miami are in the top 10, and Miami is 10th. Damage done by mass realignment Recruiting rankings are not the only area in which the Big Ten and SEC have consolidated power. They're just another result of that consolidation. In the last 15 years, the Big Ten has added Nebraska, Maryland, Rutgers, UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington to the fold. Taking the last four essentially killed the Pac-12, while reaching out and taking Nebraska caused a destabilizing effect on the Big 12. An instability the SEC was all too happy to take advantage of as it poached Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M from the league over the last 15 years, too. Both leagues will exist in 2026 but largely in name only. Clearly, the Big 12 has survived the attacks much stronger than the Pac-12 has, but the league has seen all of its biggest brands taken from it, which leaves it at a disadvantage when it comes to finding a television deal, causing the gap to grow only wider. Perhaps that's why, while we were all forced to suffer the horrors of two uncompetitive football games on Saturday, Arizona State's Kenny Dillingham was sending out a call to any possible billionaires who wanted to buy him a new roster. Because that's where we are now with NIL. The sport dragged its collective feet and ignored the giant tidal wave coming at it for decades, only to dive in full speed ahead on openly paying players (some of) what they're owed. Only, you know, with hardly any regulations or guidelines that everybody can follow and no viable way to enforce them. Whose fault is that? I don't know? Everybody's? Anyway, right now, people are looking at the Group of Five as the problem with the playoff, but believe me: if finances continue to work the way they're working in this sport, it's only a matter of time before the ACC and Big 12 get the same treatment people are giving Tulane and James Madison. After all, it's the Big Ten and SEC who have been handed complete control of the future of the format as a compromise to simply let the ACC and Big 12 continue to exist. Big Ten, SEC will win out in the end But, the truth is, the Big Ten and SEC have always controlled the College Football Playoff. The Big Ten and SEC have won nine of the first 11 College Football Playoffs. Clemson is the only team from outside those leagues to win it, and it's done so twice. Of course, Clemson has only made the field once since the NCAA stopped forcing transfers to sit out a year after changing schools and hasn't won a playoff game at all. That's mostly due to Clemson's stubbornness, but it's fitting nonetheless. To drive the point home even further, of the 22 teams that have played in a College Football Playoff National Championship, 16 currently reside in the Big Ten or SEC. Clemson (4x), TCU and Notre Dame are the only teams to get there who aren't in those leagues (Oregon and Washington made it while still members of the Pac-12, but are now in the Big Ten). As the Big Ten and SEC expanded, the Big 12 and ACC did what they had to do to try to keep up. All of which has led to bloated conferences spanning the entire continent where you only play half the league in any given season, leading to ridiculous tie-breaker scenarios that end up with a five-loss Duke winning the ACC, which puts those damned Dukes of James Madison in the field! So what's the solution? How do we fix it all? I don't know that you can, but I do believe there's a natural outcome from all of this that at least leads to equilibrium of some sort. You simply let nature take its course. Let the Big Ten and SEC finish what they started. Whether you're excited about it or not -- and believe me, I am not -- the Super League or whatever dumb name you want to give it is coming. I don't know if it will be the result of a hostile takeover by the Big Ten and SEC pilfering all the remaining valuable brands once the current television deals expire, or if it'll be the result of a compromise between the four leagues to break off from the NCAA and form their own, fully professionalized league. But whatever the method, and whatever the final makeup of the schools involved, it is coming. And when it does, your College Football Playoff will finally be "fixed." The blowouts, however, will continue.
