Just let it go….I don’t quite understand why you take over almost every thread just to argue with everyone. You have your opinion and that’s fine, but you’re not going to change anyone’s mind. If it’s only about winning a championship, why don’t fans stop watching once a team loses a game or two and no longer have a chance? It’s about the journey, not the destination.
Your post reminded me of a scene in a favorite movie of mine. (The video quality isn't too good, but it was the only clip I could find.)
How is there a difference between a "fun event" and and something you enjoy?
Because USC beating Tulane would put them above two time defending champs, Bama and Ohio State...okay
Because 130 isn't realistic. 24 requires you to win your conference or win at least 8 games. See FCS. It works perfectly
10-2 was a great season and we just need to take the next step and beat Michigan and/or Ohio State. I don't have to pretend beating Utah had meaning for it to be a positive about the season. I legit didn't complain at all about our games last year other than Purdue. Way too sloppy.
Give me a like if you think Lando is the new Art.
Art can be somewhat pretentious, but least he's knowledgeable.
Most people here aren't always wrong. It's just ashame many refuse to adapt and accept change.
You don’t know, but keep acting like you’re the arbiter of all that matters.
24 is unnecessary. I’m all for only having a playoff with the conference champions, but I believe there’s 11 D-1 conferences and 11 doesn’t work. Find a way to keep at large bids out and then you have a true championship tournament.
16 is right. No one gets a bye like in 24 or 12… not fair at all. Just play.
Not all conferences are equal. Look at every other college playoffs. Saying no at large teams doesn't exist in any sport including professional so why college football? 24 works in FCS. It would work I'm FBS. You're just resistant to change.
It's the same as March Madness only with 24 the lowest seed plays the 9th in the first round which is more likely than 1-16 upset in basketball.
But you give the top eight a bye. They are already far better and giving them a bye makes it worse.
I’m not resistant to change, I’m resistant to change for the sake of change. And I want to keep the eye test out of it. Other sports don’t have at large teams, they have wild card teams that have to earn their way in by a certain set of criteria, not some talking heads deciding they should get in (other than college basketball and that’s a problem there too). College football is different than other sports because most teams don’t play each other including in their own conference. There’s no way to accurately choose who should get into a playoff unless you only take conference champions.
But they earned the bye in theory. And it doesn't necessarily make it worse. As we've seen with March Madness those that are in the play-in game have many upsets as 11 and 12 seeds.
All college sports do that. Volleyball, hockey, etc.
Best two teams based on what? The eye test? If you don’t win your conference, you lose your chance to play in the playoffs. Life’s tough.
