They don't score touchdowns anymore

Hasn't rained in months lol, now it's a monsoon in Austin.

Like I said, time for both teams to rebuild 81-83 and 81-82. The run is over for both teams.

I’m with you here. There are more of those 8-5 types that will be looking for an advantage. An extra non-conference loss would be detrimental. Nevermind that the extra mental and physical juice may result in less focus for some of the conference slate. Also, the number of home site games increases. Seedings matter and the most significant risk to that is an extra loss. For any team, they have to find a willing non-conference participant. So those that typically fall in that 16-32 range will have to think long and hard about whether they want to risk it.

I’m still a fan of 16, but I see your points. On the home games, the top 8 seeds should have a bye in round 1, correct? If so, those seeds would have home games in the round of 16. Would the quarters also be on home fields instead of the current format (4 of the former NY6 bowl games)?

Meh!

Did my part. https://x.com/PCPokefan/status/2105486546740670848

High school football and lower-division college football aren't really comparable. Those leagues have dozens or even hundreds of teams with far less separation between schedules and conferences. FBS already has the most meaningful regular season in sports. Why copy the playoff model from levels that don't have that? If the committee is ignoring strength of schedule, the fix is to improve the selection criteria, not invite another dozen teams that probably aren't national title contenders anyway.

Boo!!!!!

The NCAA Tournament comparison gets made a lot, but college football isn't college basketball. The reason the regular season has always been so compelling is because every week feels like an elimination game. If 24 teams get in, a lot of the urgency disappears. A team can lose multiple games, sleepwalk through part of its schedule, and still make the playoff. That's not increasing the value of the sport, it's shifting the value from the regular season to the postseason. And let's be honest, this isn't primarily about fairness. If the goal were simply to crown the best team, 12 was already more than enough. The difference between the 12th-best team and the 24th-best team is usually pretty significant. More fan bases might stay engaged, but that's because everyone gets a participation trophy path into the bracket. What made college football unique was that not everyone did. At some point we're not improving the playoff, we're just creating more inventory for. You should know this better than anyone Gerry>>>>College basketball can survive watering down the regular season because it plays 30+ games. College football only gets 12. The scarcity is the product. A 24-team playoff turns huge regular-season games into seeding debates. That's great for TV executives, not necessarily for the sport. I stick with my ugh 😀

I plan on it. Can't wait! ou sux!!

The graphic would improve if they put the win percentage next to the record.

Very good interview. Good audio! Tell CJ to upgrade his camera/phone!! Good technique, though!! 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Texas also chooses to have significant OOC opponents. 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

So Texas has played 28 ranked teams. Florida has played 26 ranked opponents. Georgia and Arkansas are tied at having played 25 ranked opponents?? 🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Madison Booker Bryanna Preston Breya Cunningham Zya Vann Then I'd probably say Addison Bjorn or Jayda Clark

This is an NCAA socialist wet dream. One for all and all for one. Does anyone really think this means a more deserving SEC team will get in over some Podunk U that has a good record because they played the Sister Mary U's in their conference? The NCAA wants Texas, Bama, and all other SEC and B1G on the same playing field financially with all the other 300+ institutions. They call it better competition. So we will get 6 to 8 game blowouts like last year's Oregon and James Madison, instead of the couple we had. How many people are going to sit through games like that?

Viewership will ascend for regular season games? How has that been proven out by NCAAB? I see how a first round playoff game would have higher viewership than the Alamo Bowl or something like that, but I don’t see viewership ascending for regular season games. It’s dilution. this is Big10. SEC could easily consistently threaten with 8 teams in a 16 team playoff to 4-6 with the Big10. Big10 wants 24 to have more of a chance of fielding close to the same number of teams from the SEC
