2012 - Official College Football Random Thoughts thread

[BigSteve]

For instance, let's say that there was finally a 16 team playoff implemented.

All of the scheduling, money issues aside, we're looking at THE BEST TEAMS

1 Notre Dame
2 Alabama
3 Georgia
4 Florida
5 Oregon
6 Kansas State
7 LSU
8 Stanford
9 Texas A&M
10 South Carolina
11 Oklahoma
12 Nebraska
13 Florida State
14 Clemson
15 Oregon State
16 UCLA

Hypothetically, there's no "bowl ban" on Ohio State as well, so they're up there

mix and match to make some seedings, and you've got a fukking amazing post-season

and like I previously stated, you could even have the equivalent of the NIT for CFB to keep the smaller bowls relevant and smaller schools in there.

Once you do away with pre-season rankings and ranking teams before Week 6, you're looking at some at-large teams sneaking there way around there somewhere.

This would keep the regular season competitive.

I would also think that the NCAA would be interested in this because it would slow down the expansion of the mega-conferences as the regular season would obviously be shortened

 

[BigSteve]

actually boise n niu are the last hope
ucla lost so they drop from 16


its slim though

I'll give Boise a shot at it

I would pass daps, but I can't for some reason

I've missed the betting thread, but I've been slow on that anyway

However, Bowl Season + NFL crunch time and post season = money time

is that Russell Wilson in the back with the black hoody?

I get where you're coming from, sure

When I say "sport" I don't mean Football as a WHOLE, I mean college football.

A lot of sports fans discredit CFB because there is not playoff system, and this is the first step in legitimizing CFB for the masses.

From an entertainment standpoint, there is very little to lose by a CFB playoff being widely and wildly popular.

Oh, I agree. A true college football playoff would be amazing. But others would disagree. And not with the thesis that a CFB playoff would be popular. But a Thesis that is would change where power and revenue goes.

But it will happen. The 4 team playoff is going to change the game..

Very true

And without getting into particulars, it's a LOT easier said than done.

But my god, would it change the game.

Would it ever...

..Getting the 4 team playoff was the first step. The horse is out the barn, or whatever the saying is. It will change the game. Going to be a interesting next 4 years..

You don't know to many south asian dudes do you..

Probably Jason Barnes from Indy.


What you think about Tommy Knotts the old Indy high school coach?

Yup. Barnes. I was expecting so much from him, too. Dunno much about him, so I can't really comment...but you heard rumors and speculation for a while, especially from old heads.

Didn't he take a job in SC?

Barnes got over shadowed by Alshon Jeffery and Tori Gurley.
Yep, he(knots) got his team in the state championship game today. I'm hearing Knotts may come to my high school next year to head coach.

I am now hearing rumors about Georgia Tech in discussions to become a member of the Big 10.

This shyt is getting out of hand now.

they might as well drop all the conference allegiances and start from scratch
