  1. Man, fuck these conferences for getting themselves into a totally predictable situation by expanding too big and then trying to fix it by further marginalizing the half the CFP universe. A playoff is better when it allows for a Cinderella moment. College football is more fun when the mid-majors have that shot at a magic moment. Having auto-bids for a conference champ is the standard in all the other sports. The NIT isn’t a good analogy. The Horizon League gets a bid and it’s the power league “not as good as the top” that gets shunted off to NIT. Thats why it’s cool. Fuck Bama, they’ve lost to 1/6 of the CFP field and FSU. I’d rather see the G5 get their crack.
  2. Dropping Bama seems to solve a lot: - No forcing of ND/Miami question - Avoids 1st round rematches and first round intra-conference games The big problem is the “punishing for a CCG.” Bama made it easier by getting smoked.
  3. It can help Miami. The committee was going to be wary of letting in two ACC teams. This lets them drop the autobid for ACC champ and give an ACC spot to Miami.
  4. Sark, Freeman, and Diaz should meet at a gas station in Abilene and flip a coin.
  5. If you have that bad of a bad matchup with a team in front of you, you’re not as good as them. A third go-round shouldn’t be an option.
  6. There should honestly be a rule that you can’t go if you lost to another playoff team twice. Hard to get better evidence that at least one CFP team is better and thus no need to be in the mix for the best team.
  7. Never stir a roux with anything but wood! You’re challenging the food gods.
  8. We basically had this but the issue is that none of the helmet schools wanted divisions like these and actively blew them up LOL. You’re alluding to money and conference media rights but the heart of the problem is this: the power programs want to get paid for being in a conference of only other power schools but then are unhappy when they take losses and wish they had a Kansas on the schedule. Honestly a hard reset to 2003 would produce good (enough) conference balance with the PAC, Big XII, Big Ten, SEC, Big East, ACC plus ND. You could have a great 16 team playoff with all the champs, 8 P6 + ND at large (no more than two per conference) , and then the two best mid-majors. Remember that at the time the superconferences weren’t bloated and teams like TCU, Boise, Utah, BYU, etc that were more than worthy of squaring up. But teams didn’t want those conferences!
  9. Anyone who followed FCS or DII football could tell you that you could put half the teams in the division in the POs and there’d still be endless whining about who got left out.
  10. As a life-long soccer hater, it brings me no joy to be proven correct in my contention that it is a sport bereft of proper theology and geometry and fundamentally incompatible with a healthy, vigorous, and confident America.
  11. No one sells printers anymore they sell printer ink and subscriptions to print services.
  12. Fuck the “new media” at the Pentagon is insanely good. You won’t find this type of reporting from the LAMEstream media.
  13. Matt Campbell is the Josh Heupel of James Franklins.
  14. Me when CNN reports that bodies are still being counted at a school shooting;
  15. Preferred format:
  16. Only one loss to an P4/ND team with a losing record (FSU). Both of the Big XII SEC losses came to teams with losing records (MSU, Auburn). It’s not the top of the SEC beating up on the bottom of others.
  17. The SEC’s losses against the P4 plus ND were: Ohio State (TX) Miami (FL) FSU (Bama) Clemson (USCe) Louisville (KY) Notre Dame (Arkie) So 3/6 losses came to CFP/bubble teams, and one of those CFP team also ate a SEC loss aside from beating a bad Arkie. The only upset or “bad” loss was FSU over Alabama.
  18. This gets even more painful for everyone but the SEC once you eliminate the PAC-12 win column. LOL.
  19. Most of the “solutions” to ND that are being floated run afoul of antitrust pretty quickly, which is deeply ironic given that the gripe is over alleged unfair treatment that ND receives. An explicit or tacit agreement to not do business with a competitor to force them to join a revenue-share model with you is very much anti-competitive.
