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.

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.

The Plus 1 was always the obvious answer

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

Mike a question. Do you go to games?

All home games and most away games. So 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?

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.

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

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.
