ESPN talking heads need to be asking how important a good schedule is being factored in over the next 2 weeks to put massive pressure on the CFP committee. If they leave us out, they are telling everyone to fuck the ooc schedule and just put cupcakes on your schedule. If they reward us, teams will be more willing to make September college football entertaining. Going to be a very interesting next couple of weeks to see who’s advocating for us.

Cheez-it Citrus Bowl? Isn’t that where the highest non-CFP SEC team goes? 

Yes and we're a shoe in for that now. And that's fine if we don't make the playoff. We can have a 10 win season, something everyone on this stupid site would've cut their left nut off for in the mid 2010s.

those matchups are worth 5x the bowl game

in the delusion thread (getting in at 9-3) we talk about the committee nuking klan because of kiffin, and it's unfair to the players, too bad so sad

but for our players OH NOOOOO they have to skip a trip to orlando when we have a chance to make history and do something that is REALLY a service to the sport

How could we make history? Are we lined up for the final game to make a complete set of Labubus or something?

No way.  The guys deserve to go to a bowl with hopefully good destination and have a good time with their teammates making some good memories.  Can’t put a dollar amount on that because it’s priceless.  It’s not all about business 100% of the time.

OP should be banned or, at a minimum, suspended for the rest of the season. 

About 2600 middle fingers would solve that problem.

Maybe don't lose to shit ass Florida? That's the nail in the coffin. Not losing to Ohio State.

10-2 record and they're in. 

So the 3rd loss doesn't matter where it comes from. Ohio State or Florida it's the same. 

Florida is conference. You have to play them. 

Ohio State is not. You dont have to play it. 

So dont fucking play it until the NCAA sets up a system where every power conference team has to play another power conference team of similar stature once in OOC. 

Tilting the playing field against yourself is stupidity. 

Either everyone plays one of those games to even the field or we don't. That fucking simple. 

This shit I said way back in the summer when everyone was spewing dumbass nonsense, and now it's good to see at least half if not more of them are finally seeing the light. 

We want to play the big matchups in the playoffs. Not September. Unless everyone has to play one.

yes my bad

Not unheard of.  

I had a roommate once who played in the Pac-8.  He said that one year they were invited to play in the Sun Bowl and the team voted to decline the bid. Back then it was the Rose Bowl or nothing.

Quote

In 1968, the AAWU formally renamed itself the Pacific-8 Conference, or Pac-8 for short. The Pac-8 did not allow a second bowl team from the conference until the 1975 season;[40] 

As others have pointed out, the money the needed to fund the athletic department and the extra practices and the complications due to NIL/portal and it's sort of a quaint old idea from yesteryear.

You know both things can be true right?

Vic you’re better than this.  The loss to OSU is the one we scheduled.  We could. Have avoided.  That’s the reason they’re going to miss it.

The PAC 8 hasn’t existed for 48 years. Things have changed just a bit since 1978

Yeah, but the Florida thing is more true.

Both are 100% true. Beat Florida, we're in the playoff. Beat a cupcake instead of playing OSU, we're in the playoff.

The difference is we can choose the latter.

I'm not going to hold my breath for any schedule changes. I look forward to those games.

If you want to hold something hostage, use the upcoming OSU and Michigan OOC matchups. Don’t turn down the bowl game.

This is the way.

I don't think Sark looks forward to them (nor should he), and he'll definitely have a say. And I don't think CDC will like being in some meaningless bowl instead of the playoff.

What also blows ass is what Texas has lined up moving forward.   9 game sec season with big boy non conference game that's easily losable?

We could be fucking ourselves being on the outside looking in for years to come with those non conference games lined up

relevant part of the dave wilson espn recap from last night -- sark postgame on the field:

"We went on the road to Ohio State in Week 1 and lost to them in a one-score game. We outgained them by nearly 200 yards, and no one else has been close to a one-score game against them. But I think more importantly, it's the message that what do we want to send to the head coaches and the athletic directors around the country? Do you want us not to schedule Ohio State? Because if we're a 10-2 team right now, this isn't a discussion. We're in the playoff. But we were willing to go up there and play that game."

"It would be a disservice to our sport".

+++

when we are not included because room must be made for acc and g5 traffic cones, we have no one but ourselves to blame because ASSWATER

but we can do an even greater service to our sport

our seniors just walked off the field after defending the dkr (/mack)

they crushed the delusions of the vile vermin infestation that steals our money

at least half of our seniors will go to the combine and take a shot at the league

most of them with that goal will opt out of a game against arizona or washington

so let's do college football a REAL SERVICE

TL/DR:

DECLINE THE FUCKING BOWL GAME

we're one of the few that can get away with it without recriminations and it's high time to kill off this vestige of 20th century

this isn't amateur hour anymore - these student athletes are FISCAL ASSETS and are too valuable to risk in exhibition competition

stir the shitstorm

Still drunk the next morning?  Solid work.
