    Restore the tie ins and make New Year's Day great again

    The “cherry bowl” was the best thing @Dennis_DeYoung ever argued for. 1 vs 2 in the AP poll a few weeks after the NYD bowl games.

    Georgia already lost to Bammer. I don’t believe in second chances including conference championship games.

    Igjt now the problem is there are only three games anyone cares about, and the first two of those generally have a known outcome.. There's no reason to think that bowls plus one would help at all. There would still only be one meaningful game. The bowls would still be a joke and opt outs would continue.

    There is no way to make NYD great again unless the teams think they have something to play for. Pretty flowers, parades, etc aren't going to do it.

    Wasn't this the system that already existed in the early BCS days? Then they expanded it to four?

    I used to argue for an expanded playoff, but now I really don't give a shit. NIL, the portal, and insane coaching salaries have broken college football. It's like taking the worst of professional sports, turbocharging it, and mixing it with an on-field product less balanced and competitive than high school ball. It's been a long time since I've given a shit about the NFL, as I've always chased the purity and variety of college ball. I can see a world where people like me just start watching high school ball to get our fix.
    I’ve started admitting to my NFL first buddies that the league now has a better product. It pains me to say it but it’s the truth.

    I wish we could make this offer to the kids: no NIL and no instant transfer portal in exchange for being able to be drafted straight outta high school if needed.

    I’d rather deal with one and dones vs the current bull shit.

    Not quite, DDY's rec was to play out all of the bowl games just like the pre-BCS. Then once all the games wrap, #1 and #2 are determined/voted on and they then face off in an extra bowl game. As opposed to the BCS which determined #1 and #2 before bowl games were played.

    But yeah, everything is moot. College football is dead, we're just waiting on the doc to call it.

    NFL won't draft 18 year olds to directly play against 28 year old men. There are exactly zero who are ready for it... Well maybe a godlike kicker or punter could hack it. This wouldn't happen without farm leagues, and NFL is perfectly content with the ridiculously robust, wide, and deep farm league they've got.

    Gotcha. Yeah, that is a better system. Pretty smart, actually. Again, though, doesn't fucking matter. Half the players who qualified for the play-in game would have already transferred to the rival school before kickoff of the championship.

    Of course they (NFL) won't. But NIL is by far the biggest crock of bullshit yet to descend upon college football.

    If a kid's good enough earn money playing sports ball, let them go do it in the pros and leave the college game alone.

    The Cinnci defense was tuffer on Bama than Georgia

    If Bama plays shitty offense like last night the DAWGS will win

    Objectively on paper Georgia is better. On the field they weren't. Nice to get a second chance

    Not really. Bama was running all over Cincy and Cincy couldn’t move the ball. They didn’t have to throw it downfield and score.

    Bama had more yards and points against Georgia

    Really
