    CFB used to be a more passionate game than the NFL. It's the other way around now.

    Watching the same 3-5 CFB programs duke it out every year is just a total fail.

    We are about to watch a Bengals vs. Rams Super Bowl. That's roughly equivalent to a Purdue vs. Cal National Championship. How likely is that? CFB is broken. Completely.
    I don't know. This is the fourth SB the Lambs have made since 1999. They were always pretty good in the 70s and 80s, but just not good enough to make a SB (I think they made it once in 1979 but lost). Sort of like the Seahawks for the last six or seven years).

    The BenGALS definitely came out of nowhere though. I thought I won money on them against the Titans, but MGM sucks and throws in stupid parlays I didn't even see.
    My bigger point is that teams CAN come out of nowhere and win, or be sort of second tier and win. That's the entire problem with where CFB is at. There are legit 5 teams that can win every year, and three of them are in the SEC. It's fucking Groundhog Day, and only getting worse (thanks to NIL).

    After all the dust settles with NIL there will be 4-6 teams that clearly separate themselves (we have Karen Ramming so we have no hope of being one of them) and those teams will dominate CFB for the next couple decades until the next seismic shift.

    I just looked at the NC's from the 80's. Miami had a pretty good little dynasty going in the 80s, but even with that, in other years all kinds of teams won (blue bloods to surprises like BYU, and representing several conferences).

    Georgia - SEC
    Clemson - ACC
    Penn State - IND
    Miami - IND
    BYU - WAC
    Oklahoma - Big 8
    Penn State - IND
    Miami - IND
    Notre Dame - IND
    Miami - IND

    7 different teams in 10 years from 4 conferences with the other 6 wins from Independents. Holy shit. The 1980's look like a great time to be a CFB fan. Let's check in on the 90's and Nebraska's classy little mini dynasty!

    Colorado/Georgia Tech (split) - Big 8 / ACC
    Washington/Miami (split) - Pac 10 / Big East
    Alabama - SEC
    Florida State - ACC
    Nebraska - Big 8
    Nebraska - Big 8
    Florida - SEC
    Michigan/Nebraska (split) - Big 10/ Big 12
    Tennessee - SEC
    Florida State - ACC

    10 teams in 10 years (three splits helped this) representing 7 conferences (Big 8 became Big 12) which is basically every major conference that existed in America plus the Big East as a minor conference. What a time to be alive.

    Contrast all that fun and competitive balance and geographic parity with the CFB landscape the last 10-11 years.

    Alabama - SEC
    Alabama - SEC
    Florida State - ACC
    Ohio State - Big 10
    Alabama - SEC
    Clemson - ACC
    Alabama - SEC
    Clemson - SEC
    LSU - SEC
    Alabama - SEC
    Georgia - SEC

    11 years 6 teams 3 conferences and outside of the one Ohio State win the other 10 years have ALL been southern teams in the ACC/SEC. Oh yeah, this looks like fun. For everybody in Alabama trailer parks. It's a fucking joke.

    That was way too much work on a Wend morning. FML.
    And nothing against Alabama trailer parks, they're full of fine people, but that's not a core demographic that's going to successfully sustain the sport as a top tier one.

    It's not yet WNBA-west-coast-lesbian niche, but once a number of schools start shuttering their programs it'll get there in a hurry.

    You just described professional wrestling and nascar. It’s definitely become a regional sport. I still like it. I get why some don’t.

    Going to watch two sec or “good” big 10 teams play a big time regular season game has now become more appealing to flying back to uw to watch a game. I blame the leadership of the school, not the sport.
