Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
I was never in favor of the playoff but I did look forward to watching it when it came about. Now I find myself having to remind myself that the games are this Saturday
The playoffs put the final nail in the big bowls and winning the conference. Now they are killing themselves by being the regional playoff for a regional sport. LSU is going to curb stomp OU and the other game should be good but at the end of the day who gives a fuck? This isn't the NFL and it never will be and the more you try to make it the more you kill it. Anyone been to a minor league baseball game lately? How about a D league basketball game?
College football is celebrating 150 years. The NFL 100 and lets be real it wasn't until the 60's and Vince Lombardi that pro football arrived. 50 year sport. We? were first
So instead of looking forward to Jan 1 and
Oregon v Ohio State - Rose
Clemson v Oklahoma - Orange
LSU v Bama rematch - Sugar
We aren't.
Whatever

Probably over half the people here especially ducks don’t even remember how awesome it was. They just get smug with..
Ok Boomer.
Fuck off
The bowls were more about a trip for the fans than anything else. They should now die but instead we get this weird hybrid shit of including them in the playoffs.
Before the playoffs the big boys couldn’t lose a game more than one game either.
Look at the OCC during Don James years. Not much different. They didn’t have FCS teams then because it wasn’t a thing. But tons of shit tier teams from FBS conferences with the occasional powerhouse.
But you’re right. A powerful 5 team isn’t penalized as much as they should be for crap schedule.
Miami v Washington in January of 1992 the week before the Super Bowl would pull historic ratings
Michigan v Nebraska 1997
If winning your league gets you in the bowl you don't have to schedule retarded cripples
Players thought bowls were huge too. There is a reason the Pac 8 ad Big Ten dominated college ball and had the top players as the NFL rosters would show, They had something to sell that no one else had
To review before the BCS the regular season was better, the bowls were better and all we needed was a plus one for the WE HAVE TO HAVE A CHAMPION retards
It’s always been crap teams with an occasional powerhouse.
