Playoffs?

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

    We disagree on this and that's okay. I don't want to wait until New Years Day for quality matchups, I want them during the regular season so I have incentive to actually show up at the stadium. Due to the nature of the current system, the big boys know they can't lose more than one game during the season so they build a schedule that minimizes the chance of regular season losses. Out of curiosity I looked at the Huskies out of conference scheduling for the next ten years. You get Ohio State and Michigan. Awesome. You also get Montana, North Dakota, Arkansas State, UC Davis, Sacramento State, Tulsa, Portland State, Nevada and Weber State. That's digraceful and a slap in the face to season ticket holders. And people wonder why the stadium is so empty. The 8 team playoff is coming and I'm loving it because it means we can actually schedule decent regular season games again. Get on it Jen.

    Toledo, Pacific, San Jose State, and East Carolina were tough in the early 90s.

    You can’t make the players care about the bowls ever again. The bowls were cool but they never made any logical sense either. I’m indifferent to whichever way they wanted to do it (playoffs or bowls). I do like settling a championship on the field though and trying to hang on to the bowl system at this point is stupid.

    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.

    Selective memory. We used to schedule A,B,C. Now it's more like A/B ,D,F. There's a difference now. Sorry if you don't see it.

    It doesn’t sound like you disagree


    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.

    I just want to see a quality regular season with incentive to lose a couple of games and still have a shot to win it on the field at the end of the season. Those are not mutually exclusive.

    I have. It was A,B,C scheduling and sometimes A,B,B. There was a buzz in town before big games. That is largely gone now. Why show up to watch shit? I guess I'm retarded but no one has explained to me why you can't have the best of both worlds. A quality regular season, with an 8 team playoff that is essentially a dynamite 6 game bowl season.

Out of curiosity I looked at the Huskies out of conference scheduling for the next ten years. You get Ohio State and Michigan. Awesome. You also get Montana, North Dakota, Arkansas State, UC Davis, Sacramento State, Tulsa, Portland State, Nevada and Weber State. That's digraceful and a slap in the face to season ticket holders. And people wonder why the stadium is so empty. The 8 team playoff is coming and I'm loving it because it means we can actually schedule decent regular season games again. Get on it Jen.
    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.
    Mike a question. Do you go to games?
    All home games and most away games. Yes. Why do you ask?
    As someone who spends money going to games are you happy watching the dreck on the home schedule lately and what appears in the future?
    Like I said, it’s really not much different than it ever was.

    It’s always been crap teams with an occasional powerhouse.

    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

    We disagree on this and that's okay. I don't want to wait until New Years Day for quality matchups, I want them during the regular season so I have incentive to actually show up at the stadium. Due to the nature of the current system, the big boys know they can't lose more than one game during the season so they build a schedule that minimizes the chance of regular season losses.

    Toledo, Pacific, San Jose State, and East Carolina were tough in the early 90s.
    Selective memory. We used to schedule A,B,C. Now it's more like A/B ,D,F. There's a difference now. Sorry if you don't see it.
    Mostly agreed other than those teams aren't C. And some of those years was A,A, F.

    Really? You telling me our current scheduling is the same as it ever was? Up until a few years back we were proudly one of four teams in football never having scheduled a division down. Now it's a common occurence.

    Yes. I’m telling you it wasn’t as great as you seem to think
