I’m disappointed you typed that while muted 👀

I actually like the format he’s proposing. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot better than what we currently have. Somewhat similar to the format that John Gruden proposed, with the idea of having play-in games in addition to conference championship games on the same weekend.

I’m disappointed that we’re three pages deep without a single Penny Hardaway or Nick Anderson reference.

As long as LG is average it shouldn’t. But if it’s that bad as people are leading us to believe, it honestly can

The leadership of college football has always and will always do the wrong thing until forced to do otherwise. It's kind of remarkable how people come and people go, but they always side with stupid. It took decades to make these changes: Crown a champion after bowl games Allow TV networks to decide during the season which games to televise (it was previously decided before the season) Create a 1-vs-2 natty Allow players to be compensated for their labor Allow players to transfer without sitting out (how many players never made it to the NFL because they never got their chance?) Create a playoff system Here's all the obvious things the need to fix: Eliminate worthless cupcake games (it'd be incredibly easy to compensate smaller schools with the additional TV money better matchups would bring) Revert to 2-minute tv timeouts (not even the for-profit NFL does 3 minute commercial breaks) Eliminate auto bids (G5 has been completely raided of both schools and players yet we still romanticize the anecdotal exceptions from the distant past) Create a relegation system so smaller schools can actually have a chance to build legitimate programs Finish the season BEFORE the portal / coaching changes Eliminate unlimited transfers Set boundaries around NIL and individual donors Only an act of Congress could save college football.

I mean is 5 loss Duke any better than JMU? I get acc may change their conference championship but let’s be done with auto bids.

Can’t blame them for working the system. It damn near guarantees them a CFP spot each year.

Big 10 only wants 24 teams because they are so weak outside of their top 3-4. It’s the only way they can get more teams in. Pathetic.

I have no idea what this means. Pate's an idiot.

RIDICULOUS that Notre Dame is guaranteed a spot when they pick and choose who they’ll play and refuse to join a conference.

I'm OK with that. 24 was crazy.

+1,000

Ohio State is 100% a must win game with this news coming out. If they lose to Ohio State, Texas must go 8-1 in regular season SEC play to make the CFP in the 12-team format and it's unlikely that happens. Texas is not backing out of that game or the Michigan game in 2027. They should back out of the Notre Dame home and home, but I bet there is some legal things to work out before that happens. I'm assuming that is the reason that series has not been cancelled yet.

We can be done pretending it’s about the 12 BEST teams. I don’t want to hear that once this year.

If Arch kicks butt we'll win the title. If he doesn't we won't. Left guard won't change that.

12 is fine if it’s the top 12 ranked teams at the end of the year. No auto bids. If there’s 6 sec teams. Fine. Just take the top 12 ranked teams. We want the best competition

Sark already said they’d honor the Ohio st and Michigan games. I’d bet the ND game will be canceled. Though I’d like to put a beating on them. It’s gonna send ND a message.

12 is fine if they just eliminate the auto bids for the G5 . I could get behind eliminating auto bids altogether, but the G5 shouldn’t be given one period.

Can the surgeon play LG?

Yes it is

I guess in the era of the portal nobody believes development of younger guys is a thing anymore. Hard to imagine how anybody coming up gets a chance with this mindset. You don’t know what the next man up can do if he’s never given the chance to be the next man up

4-8 would be preferred. 12 is already too many.

it depends on the procedure. From the sounds of it, they are just cleaning it up a little...at least i hope.
