It's preferable to watching Georgia get crushed by Alabama.

No idea why Georgia didn't call timeout there. Good thing their idiocy won't matter.

Smart was pissed they didn't call a timeout? He could have called a timeout. Is he mad at himself?

Is it though? At least there's a chance that will be competitive.

BS. You cared when your USC team was dominating teams. When\If gets Riley gets USC turned around and back into the playoffs you will be here caring again.

He's clearly just an idiot. Hasn't hurt them much yet, but might matter in the NC.

Why do I need to see a game I've already seen?

It’s a bonkers system. Can you imagine how asinine it would be if kc beat Tennessee in the playoffs then two weeks later played them in the super bowl? It’s absurd. I get that the sec is a superb conference. You know what, the nfc was a shit conference for a while. Doesn’t mean I want to see two afc teams in the super bowl

The last decade has sucked complete dick.

I would have loved it if the sideline reporter would have asked him "why didn't you call a timeout then?"

Is that because USC has sucked the last decade? Shit try being a MU fan :p

I like the playoffs way better than some stupid voting system.

Well, if those two teams were the best two teams I'm certain everyone would be positively jazzed for the third game.

It would be more interesting, and be more than a regional game.

I have probably just grown older, but I used to love college football, not much anymore.

What is your solution?

The entire thing was more fun with the BCS never thought I'd say that.

I'm right there with you and I'm probably younger than you.

Sometimes clarity makes things less interesting.

Georgia and Bama are far and away the best teams and deserve to play for the title. It doesn’t mean it’s interesting.

I said it at the time that the playoff was bad news. No one listened.

Wish I could say I'm surprised, but this is Michigan football history, and Jim Hsbaugh is just today's Marty Schottenheimer, so it's not gonna get better with him. Only worse

Any solution should include a ban on Paul Finebaum. I will let everyone hash out the other details.

I don't understand, can you explain why for me?

How about you have to be a conference winner to be playoff eligible?

If you want wildcards then you have to expand.

It's lovely that Hardouche's eternal punishment is to be stuck in Martyball hell.

Did you really not think that was a better era?

Your just pissed that Alabama is what USC couldn't do.

I was rooting hard for Cinci, as was most of America, but we all knew they stood no chance.

**** no it was stupid.

And let's not pretend that the BCS rankings wouldn't have picked Alabama - Georgia this year because they would have. They are 1-2 in almost every poll and computer ranking.

And the SEC dominated during that period too with the most appearances and a 9-2 record with 5 titles.

Yes it's just me when it seems that lots of people are bored with it.

Seems a very simple solution that losers of conference championships shouldn’t advance.

Any coach that makes commercials with ducks is banned from postseason play.

Nobody would be jazzed to see the Yankees and the Red Sox in the World Series. Except fans of those teams. Championships should not settle scores already settled in conference championships.

Great. We get Bama and Georgia again. We already played this game. What a farse.

Maybe this time someone will get a bucket of mayonnaise dumped on them.

FCS will be much better than FBS.

So using that standard this year it would be:

Alabama
Michigan
Cincinnati
Baylor

Does that sound good to you?

Mercole Hardman mention.

No dynasty exists there ROFL

The Bizon win it every year.

It's sad when your band only gets to play when the other team misses a field goal.

Two thumbs down to whiney overdramatic Google commercial. Google sucks balls.

It will still be a better game

Yes. It's way better than a rematch of the SEC Championship game... They should move to a 24 team playoff, no one cares about any of the other bowl games anymore.

They could expand the playoffs to 50 teams and it won’t matter until other teams recruit/develop talent as consistently as Alabama, Georgia, etc.

Yes. It will be a worst game. But it is in the spirit of what championships are supposed to be. If you want inter conference championships lobby for an extra playoff game and stack them in the same bracket. How many sports pit division rivals against each other in the championship? The point of divisions and conferences is specifically to avoid this kind of stuff much as mlb would LOVE the ratings behind Yankees Red Sox.

Alabama would blow both teams they played out and I believe the title game will be a good game.

I totally agree they need to go to at least a 12-team playoff doubt it happens though.

The problem is your comparing pro sports with rules, draft slots, salary cap, common schedule, 2 conferences to CFB = the wild wild west and 11 different conferences.

As I said before if we would have stuck with the BCS the championship game would be Alabama-Georgia. The same thing happened back in 2012 or 2013 with Alabama - LSU.

More interesting than what we got. Also they are more deserving as conference champs.

Yes. And I hated it back then too. In a league where you can’t compare teams with different schedules or head to heads, the conference championship is the one thing that’s actually absolute. That bama was the better team than Georgia. If you want extra playoff games and this becomes a semifinal game, great. I don’t understand the sports rationale. We’ve watched a lot of shitburger nba finals with a substantially better nba west. I’d still rather that then suggesting conferences and divisions no longer matter.

I think the national championship will be a great game. Looking forward to it.

Why? Georgia is better than literally everyone else not named Bama, and they might be better than them. Why in the world should they be excluded?

I guess Georgia could simply decline the invite for the Conference Championship?

If you wish to ensure a Bama title, that's how you do it.

Might be better? Bama beat the crap out of them with ease just a few week ago.

Who do you think will be favored?

what a bunch of Goshdamn bullshit! These games blew!

If you all wanted a close game shoulda let Nebraska in the playoffs

It’s a simple fix….

8 teams


P5 conference winners. Seeded based on top 25 rank.

3 at large bids. Seeded 6-8 based on top 25 rank


Power 5 champs get first round home play off game.

Then off to bowls for the rest.

It’s not rocket surgery. But anything beats the dogshit we have now. BCS was much better than this current format.

For a long time I have advocated for D1 to follow the D2 playoff model. Not sure why that hasn't happened.

The BCS model was to get the 2 best teams regardless of conference standings. Back then several conferences including the B10 didn't have a conference final game while others did. You also have teams like Notre Dame that aren't in a conference, and they are currently ranked higher than Baylor. Is that fair to put Notre Dame in but not Georgia? Don't think so.

The bowls have a lot of money and many are owned by ESPN.

A change could happen-but we may end up with the same result. Bama vs another SEC team

FCS almost had NDSU and South Dakota State in the NC game.

There was a point where almost every playoff team in the nba west was better than almost every team in the nba east. Why do people think the best two teams need to play in the championship? Do you think the Red Sox and Yankees in the 90s or the cowboys and 49ers in the 80s should have played each other in the super bowl? Or the patriots colts in the 2000s? No. Because that’s not how sports playoffs work and for good reason. No one ever complained that the 2nd best team year after year wasn’t making the championship game.

There needs to be an expanded playoff. And ideally two conference teams always end up in the same bracket with the conference loser as a wild card. Georgia deserves to be in a playoff. But let’s stop putting inner conference games in the championship.

Come on Penn State

Have fun getting eviscerated by Kentucky.

Iowa needs a coach that can develop a QB.
I am on discord on a Hawk thread.

Alabama would have beaten Okie State by 50 if they made it.

You should beat them they suck

guarded optimism

Scoreboard

Iowa better get their act together

Mayer is good.

This Oklahoma State pass defense is looking like it’s filled with Orlando Scandrick at every position.

Iowa’s offense is pathetic.

Yes it is. Sad.

Ah, you’re doing moral support for your SEC big brother?

Beautiful.

We’d destroy Nebraska, too.

I would like to say Iowa could win this-but with the way the O is playing-we need to hope K just melts

Nobody destroys Nebraska did you not pay attention this year?

All their losses were by single digits, I am aware.

Your QB just fumbled a snap on 4th down inside the red zone. LMAO

These Bowls games have me wishing that I working the holiday.

Lots of wouldhaves on that play. Embarrasing for the center

3-9 certainly is something to hang your hat on

Yes. ****ers can block though.

You know who can’t? Kansas.
