FairWeatherFan Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Happy to see the end of the 4-team play-off. I even preferred the BCS era. "I wish my leg broke earlier in the season" and apologising aren't the sort of takes an undefeated season should bring. QB position unfortunately gave the committee the excuse to leave Florida State out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 A genuine travesty, thankfully they won't have a chance to f**k up this royally ever again. The sheer incompetence of every facet of the NCAA gives me hope for the SPFL, which is pretty bloody impressive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Seems like there are ten conferences, why don't they just have the winners of the conferences and runners-up from the six highest rated conferences go into a 16-team playoff? I've never understood why they need to be letting journalists decide who are the best teams when they have actual tables and conference championship matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horse has well and truly bolted on anything like that. Where once there were 10 regionally decent Conferences with some independents. That did have a Big 5 / Bottom 5 idea in term of quality. Chasing increasing media rights values has led to lots of jockeying for position. Think this map might be the best illustration of what's happening with the Power 5 Conferences next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Wee Villa Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 So if you are from a rubbish conference, it's completely impossible to make the playoffs even if you win every game 70-0? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The playoff is changing to a 12 team format. The way that was intended to be was the 6 highest ranked Conference champions and 6 highest ranked teams outwith that. So there would be at least the one champion from outside the Power 5. After realignment this format might be tweaked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journalists don't pick the playoff rankings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Golden God Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Not a massive college football fan but really hope Texas or Washington win. The Michigan Alabama game is like choosing whether you want to be shot or stabbed. Victim FC v The Evil Empire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Drake Maye not playing for Carolina in the bowl so I assume he is leaving for the draft (it may have been announced already, first I knew though). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) FSU were very unlucky not to make the cut for the playoffs, but they are getting handed their arse in the orange bowl with Georgia 35-3 ahead coming up to half time. Admittedly they have a lot of opt outs and are vastly understrength from what they were during the season.

Craig fae the Vale Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Absolutely gutted the Huskies game kicks off so late, will hopefully wake up to see them still undefeated. Will probably watch most of the Rose Bowl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossBFaeDundee Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Defense has showed up today, nearly broken down in that last drive but forced the FG from Bama. The offense is starting to click and hopefully are set for a big 2nd half. Special teams though... jeezy peeps, get it together, making it so much easier for Alabama to stay in the game. Had a proper 'trouble with the snap' moment on the PA attempt. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
