Between this shit and running his mouth last year, Zuhn is pretty goddamn dumb even for an aggy football, player and is probably going to need to continue to get his dick knocked in the dirt a few (more) times before learning to STFU. If he ever does
He is an aggy and they never STFU even when they get their shit kicked in.

BYU was already in so made changes48 minutes ago, BluTechsan said:As most of you know, Texas high school playoffs are currently ongoing. And in the various divisions (6a, 5a, 4a etc etc) all the the districts send their top 4 teams - regardless of w/l record - top 4 are in. This is based on district results only, non district games matter not.
And then the first round begins with all the 1’s facing off against the 4’s and likewise all the 2’s and 3’s
I like this. I’m wondering if perhaps it could work for the CFP. Conference championship games have no bearing other than to name the 1 seeds.
Now I know what you are thinking, why even play the CCGs? We’ll let me tell you…
SEC Top 4
Bama, UGA, Miss, AggyBIG Top 4
tOSU, Indy, UO, SCBig12 Top 2 - yeah, I said 2
Tech, BYUACC Top 2
Virginia, DukeThat’s 12 teams so we have 4 spots to fill and we’re gonna do that on CCG weekend. G5s need to have their champs already decided prior to this weekend - hey, if they want in, that’s the requirement.
Top ranked G5 + 7 at-large play for the final 4 bids - all four of which will then fill in 3 and 4 seeds in the BIG12 and ACC spots in CFP bracket
Using the AP poll, the seven at large this year would be: (8)OU, (9)ND, (10)Bama, (11)BYU, (12)Miami, (13)Vandy, (14)Texas
Thanks to SC getting the 4 seed out of the BIG, Utah is 1st team out
Match-ups would be:
OU - G5
ND - Texas
Bama - Vandy
BYU - MiamiDid not know about the HS system so it is very close to the play in games system I proposed. So I took the time using my system based on conference standings and play-in selections to setup the match ups.
SEC Top 4 plus play-in AQ
Bama, UGA, Miss, Aggy, (Texas 0.5 bid)BIG Top 4 plus play-in AQ
tOSU, Indy, UO, SC, (Michigan 0.5 bid)Big12 Top 2 plus play-in AQ
Tech, BYU, (UTAH 0.5 bid)ACC Top 2 plus play-in AQ
Virginia, Duke, (Miami 0.5) - ACC is allowed to have their stupid standingsPlay-in at large
OU, ND, Vanderbilt, G6My Ranking: OU, ND, Miami (host), Texas (host), Vanderbilt, Utah (host), Michigan (host) and G6
Play-in Games:
G6 at Miami
Vanderbilt at Texas
OU at Michigan
ND at Utah

The playoff system is for a field of 16 teams, with four slots decided by play-in games. Notre Dame and the Group of 6 would have to play their way in, even if they're ranked number one in the AP poll. Why? Because fuck ND they need to join a conference, and I want the Group of 6 to maintain their sacrificial lamb status without being in the 16-team field.
Only four teams would be selected by the committee, and the rules could require them to choose from the eight highest-ranked teams that didn't earn an automatic bid through a BCS-type formula. They'd have to explain in writing, with a press release, why each selected team is ranked ahead of the teams they bypassed.
Structure:
- The playoff system includes 12 automatic qualifiers and 8 play-in teams, with 4 pay-in teams being automatic qualifiers and 4 being at-large play-in teams.
- Each Power 4 conference ends up with a predetermined number of automatic qualifiers (SEC: 4, BIG10: 4, BIG12: 2, ACC: 2).
- Each Power 4 conference ends up with one play-in automatic qualifier, and each of those teams gets to host a play-in game, with the hosting conference keeping the revenue.
-
4 at-large play-in teams are selected by a committee, with one being for the Group of 6.
-
Committee seeds play-in match-ups and play-off field after play-in games
Key benefits:- Group of 6 team gets booted during play in weekend. If we are the team that gets to play these guys we probably can do it with our backups and reduce injury risk.
- We at worst end up in a play in game playing weak ass ACC, BIG12, or lower tier BIG10 team to get into 16 team field.
- The play-in games remove the argument of conference bias by sending the weak conference teams home with on-the-field results.
- The system replaces the conference championship game revenue, as those games will become irrelevant.

1 hour ago, BurntEyes said:They've already played.
Miami won.
Miami should be ahead of ND based on SOS, Head to head, Win/loss and eyeball test.
The system is fucking broken, the committee is bullshit. It had to be completely torn down and rebuilt or it's going to crash.
Fuck ND, fuck Miami, fuck G5s and most importantly fuck the stupid as subjective committee structure with zero guidelines on what it has to prioritize in it's selection process.
Tell me something I did not know, maybe I should have said it as follows:
Based on the bullshit from the committee ND should not take the risk of Miami jumping them and Miami should assure themselves of a spot by beating ND again. It is the only way that a 13th game would benefit anyone by taking it out of the committees hands.
P.S. Even us if there is a major injury to the winning team😉

Who exactly did Vanderbilt think they would get to play in this mythical 13th game?
Only two that should play this mythical 13th game are Miami and Notre Dame. There is no guarantee for Notre Dame that a side by side Miami would not get put ahead of them and Miami has nothing to lose.

One question how many here want Texas to make the play-offs because they think Texas has a great chance of winning it all or do you want they to make the play-offs just to piss off aggy and the rest of the country or do you want them to make the play offs because the players earned it.
Full disclosure I want them to make because players beat three top 15 teams and earned it since Sark screwed them with his game plan at Florida. Second aggy tears would be great for Christmas. Winning it all would only happen if somehow this team became disciplined and consistent which they have not done all year. -

Most of us like college football specifically because it is NOT the NFL .
I was just making an argument on sustainability and not why some folks would be bothered by the change. Younger folks would come along and have 64 teams to choose from that still have passion, traditions and real rivalries unlike the NFL because of alumni. Once players can be signed to 2+ year contracts during a 5 year stint it will not feel so much like NFL free agency. Hell Golden is ours even though he came from Houston for a year.

4 minutes ago, 956 Worldwide said:I mean, the NFL relies on college football to be its minor league and every other major sport directly subsidizes money-losing minor and youth leagues for exactly this reason.
Most the NFL players come from the big conferences. So what is your point? We are talking about how you are wrong saying that half the teams being cut out would be detrimental to the sport long term. Stick to that argument and not this unrelated tangent.

No one wants to hear it or think about it but cutting half of the teams out of even nominally being in big-time football will not be healthy or sustainable for the sport long-term and should be fought at every opportunity. It’s a short-term boost that will lead to fewer people watching and caring about CFB, fewer HS athletes aspiring to become CFB athletes and fewer incentives for a shrinking pool to care about football. These programs already exist on the margins. Not directly analogous but similar to the rise of traveling teams slowly killing off baseball as a youth sport for future generations.
As I’ve said, the inventors of the playoff don’t really like college football. If you like college football you want the G5 to be healthy and on sustainable footing. You want more D1 programs not fewer. Shrinking a sport doesn’t help it.
So it's not sustainable long-term with 64 teams, we better warn the NFL - 32 teams isn't enough. Also, tell the 10% of folks that hold 70% of the wealth that that's not sustainable either. Throughout history, the few do just fine without sustaining the many. The one time it was tried, it failed. The many may get pissed from time to time, but then things go right back to the way they were.

Holy shit, the absolute fiction in those threads. They really are a cult- can’t even accurately perceive reality.
They are saying some of the same things that have been complained about here for years. Loud music, the band can't be heard and some dumb ass talking on the jumbotron. The thing is that it is only OK when Longhorn nation is critical. So lets laugh at them trying to find a moral victory with their atmosphere since we think of it the same way the ESPN guys think of it.
