1) blowouts are a given in sports

2) Current format handicaps teams with too long of a bye

3) it’s still not a true national tournament, which remains the only sport in America without one

12 teams is a good step forward, who cares about blowouts, we had hella of them in BCS and 4 team cfp

id add 4 more teams so no one gets a bye, having a bye sucks

yep
I mean y'all had justice haynes one year and dude is gone already. Guys aren't sitting around anymore.

We just lost WR Amari Jefferson today to Tennessee and he didn’t even play this year, now instead of riding the bench another year, he went to a place that needs WRs.

It’s definitely a different time where you can’t really celebrate recruit commitments anymore, I mean you can but you gotta keep in the back of your mind that there’s a good chance they might be there for 2 years at best, like the last ones I got hyped over were Downs, Haynes, and Sayin and they’re all gone.

Yup even in this game today forgot the WR name but the announcer mentioned that dude hit teh transfer portal then came back :mjlol:

but yeah can't celebrate at all, even big teams why would I want to risk and develop some qb who might suck when I get a proven guy out there.

Two of the teams left have transfers they literally bought at qb in leonard and will howard

Not good for the sport when your marquee event isn’t competitive

Current format handicaps teams with too long of a bye
So now byes are a bad thing? What’s the reward if you’re a team like Oregon who went undefeated during the regular season m? This wouldn’t be an issue if they didn’t pull some hoe shyt to force ND to join a conference by DQ’ing them the opportunity to have a bye. Plus two of the teams who had byes y’all were saying didn’t deserve them so the bye didn’t matter if we follow what y’all thought pregame.


3) it’s still not a true national tournament, which remains the only sport in America without one
No disagreement with you there. Won’t be till they take the humans out of it and let the teams settle it in the field. Destroy mega conferences

So again, I’m asking you, the remedy is more teams and more blowouts? You say who cares about blowouts…ADs, TV execs, and most importantly, fans. There’s a reason ESPN farmed out those round one games to TNT & Max. No one cared about them because they knew the outcomes were inevitable

Kirby got out coached. And the talent on that field at skill positions? Unacceptable.

I'm not sure where the SEC goes from here if they're just gonna beat each other up all season only to run into a playoff team with equal talent thanks to NIL.
