This new era of college football has been terrible for the bowl games.

ESPN is going to be working on rule changes.

What are they going to do? 

Institute a last 6/4 games plus bowls/CFP play/no-play deadline (similar to a trading deadline) to force players to make their opt-out decisions more painful since they'd be affecting the regular season games?

That would push this junk into the most important parts of the regular season.

I don't see how they'd make the bowls "better" -- do you want a 64-team CFP instead?  Lulz.

They’re still the champions of my heart

Stick to the code, score all ye' can.

I'll say this on the amount of bowl games or lesser value bowl games.  I like 'em, it gives me a chance for more college football.  I can see teams I might not otherwise watch.  It gives the smaller, less talented, wanna-be schools a chance to get some TV dollars.  A chance to try to sell themselves to other kids for recruiting purposes.  I'd imagine, at times it gives the players a chance to travel to someplace they may have not ever been.   There are other alumni that can travel and get an opportunity to talk some smack and be proud.  College ball just isn't about the bluebloods.  For me, I wanna go to the Fargo Dome for a NDSU game.  It just seems kinda cool.  If it wasn't for ESPN and GameDay, I would have not ever known jackshit about 'em.  Just my take.  I need to go check my smoke making efforts, so I'm off my soapbox.  Carry on.

Jaylon Smith says hello.

Yes, it is a non-zero probability but probably lower than the probability in any other important game as evidenced by many injuries to our players this season. You may as well not play football if a small risk of injury is going to hold you back.

The chump was a 4 star recruit. Lol. 

[NoName 16196]

I've never seen a team luckier to be down only 35-3 at the half in my life.

[AeroHorn 730]

If the FSU QB is a bit more accurate, they would have 2 more scores.

[NoName 16196]

What an absolute beat down

[Buzzrock 14775]

Well this is going predictably. I should check with my friend who said Georgia would take it easy on them.

Agree, I don't know how non playoff bowls survive without changes No way advertisers going to keep ponying up for these games.

another ridic Bell catch

[Horn80 5978]

Georgia tells FSU:

[Rimbo 25212]

[Macklemore 2825]

Starting next year, you’ll start to see a few bowls fall by the wasteside. All of the NY6 will be under the CFP halo. After that the Mayo, Texas, Alamo, Tony the Tiger Sun and Music City Bowls will be the clear elite tier below and they’ll survive. The others will be on life support until the plug is pulled by ESPN.

Yeah well, I saw him go 8-21 against Louisville. He is much improved.

[AUS-97HORN 11546]

I think Georgia is thinking they should score more this year v FSU than last year v TCU

[ClubWhatever 12066]

GA at Texas next year should be fun 

[mdleast 8016]

[TreatyOak 16055]

Georgia’s game today and Aggy’s incredible effort against OSU are easily the two most impressive bowl game performances. 

[Griff 513]

[Bevo&Pevo 4880]

FSU should be thinking...

FSU biggest play . . . taking a knee in the endzone.

[CowtownHorn 5126]

Prepare your anus for an entire 2nd half of FSU excuses from Palmer and his partner.

Even moar fun will be the distance that jawja fans have to go for places to stay that weekend when they're being outbid by F1 highroller globetrotters. Lulz.

Thank you selection committee for getting this correct


Lolol to those in the selection thread crying about fairness

[mdleast 8016]

Come on, FSU! Just say it!!!

[Pods 7426]

Looks like the rumors that FSU was going to skip the Orange Bowl turned out to be true.

This. 95% of CFB fans will never see their team in a playoff.

It’s already semi-pro football and everyone else.

yikes, i'm actually feeling a little sorry for them lol

Can or will GA go for the all time Hi Score on FSU?

I would.  Then they'd really have a reason to cry.

[Griff 513]

[Valmy77 12519]

FSU should be allowed to leave the ACC....and forced to drop down to FCS.

Montana would do better than this.

Cash prize for the winning team’s players is all I can come up with and even then players with NFL prospects may opt out.  Or how about contractual obligations to play in bowl games in exchange for NIL compensation?

this is exactly what was going to happen and why the bowls fought so hard against the playoff.  

The Bowls and Polls are a bygone era.  playing school/for school, team ranking, recruiting, parades, dinners for muckity mucks, business relationships, etc. 

sure the opt outs make it a bit different but it was always going to end up like this.

Florida State’s attorney:

 

[Richter 2195]

Someone ask Rick Scott to demand transparency from the CFP committee on why FSU isn’t in the national championship game after this one is over
