Of the 15 semi final games played thus far only 4 of them had a point differential less than 17

There is no reason to expand the playoffs

Are WE Cincinnati or are WE Michigan?

Plus one and be done
Restore the tie ins and make New Year's Day great again -
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 -
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.RaceBannon said:Plus one and be done

Georgia already lost to Bammer. I don’t believe in second chances including conference championship games. -
Wasn't this the system that already existed in the early BCS days? Then they expanded it to four?YellowSnow said:

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. -
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. -
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.1to392831weretaken said:

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.1to392831weretaken said:

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.YellowSnow said:

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.GreenRiverGatorz said:

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

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. -

While I agree with the sentiment that the college game is a joke now or becoming one, I disagree about not paying the players. College coaches by in large are fucking dumbass douches who are grossly overpaid. The source of their incomes are conference TV contracts delivering a product played by the players. NIL is stupid but something better should replace it. Eventually the players are going to strike. Book it.YellowSnow said:

As an aside, I met Tedford in the early 2000s while at Berkeley. He’s held a high regard by HH. He’s a fucking meat too. -
I have heard tales that Saban has evolved and abandoned his tuff defensive identity and protecting it with a balanced offense in favor of shootouts, while presumably that's still former nose guard Fickell's brand. Make of that what you will, I didn't watch either game; dunno if you heard, but CFB is DED.RaceBannon said:

Players unionize, demand a share of revenues to be shared roughly equally amongst all players, and eat into the coaches' lucre.YellowSnow said:

What was the driving force behind the infinite portal, by the way? I assume it will die down when portal products never see the field at their new school, but for now it's a shit show. -
Yeah I'm sure the game plan was to score almost a season low in the CFP semi.RoadDawg55 said:

No one wins including networks and media. What would NFL rights be worth without college ball and Thursday to Monday to fill up with games?

If you wanna make kids want to play in Bowl games again, make the payout 60/40 with the winning team getting the 60 and the additional portion of that goes to the players.chuck said: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.
Also make the kids scholarship money broken into 14 sections (or however many games are on the schedule plus bowl) and if kids portal or sit out prior to the end of the agreed contract, ie the full season plus bowl, they pay back however much they didn’t earn.
Kids want to get treated like adults, let them be treated like adults. -
I like the attitude, but this is unworkable without discriminating against injured players. Make it fair to the injured, and every player who wants to sit out would just be "injured."Alexis said:

Paying coaches 10mm per annum has nothing in it for the school, but they do it because FB and MBB buoy the non revenue sports. They'll administer player salaries if that's the adaptation it takes to keep this pig alive.

If colleges can fund sports no one will pay to watch by having a great football team they will
If they can't they won't and no one will miss volleyball
I don't care if players get paid I'm just convinced they won't
Legally that is
I still watch the teams that try and enjoy it while I can
