The Official 2024 College Football Random Thoughts Thread

[Woodwerkz]

One aspect of the CFP being expanded I don't think we've talked about is just how in the fukk are fans supposed to afford to support this shyt, especially if your team also makes the CCG. Teams will now play potentially 4-5 post season games. Top seeds don't even get a home game. That's a lot of travel, tickets, and accommodations fans will have to pay for. I know if Texas loses today going to the 1st round home game would be much easier, after that I don't fukking know. I'd probably elect to go to the semifinal game if we make it that far.

Now think about what the committee did right in front of our faces. They created a 3 tier precedent on how they will select teams.


Tier 1 [ 1st round bye CCG winners]

ASU
Oregon
UGA
Boise State

Tier 2 [ extra time off tier who sat an watched]

Tenn
OSU
ND
Indiana

Tier 3 [ conference game losers]

Clemson
SMU
Texas
Penn St

So basically teams in the 9 thru 12 slots will have to win 17 games instead of 16 like the other 8 teams. I think that it is going to become real clear sooner rather than later that Tier 2 is the tier you actually want to be in and that 1st round bye is a wash in an aspect other than scouting.

Tier 2 will get to sit idle....resting... scouting... getting healthy. [basically a bye week for them prior to their 1st round home game].

Tier 3 is the group that really get screwed over and it's not really fair. Clemson, SMU, Penn St and Texas all played in their CCG and will have less time to turn around after playing an extra game. So say one of them run the table... then that's 17 games they will have played vs 16 for everyone else.

It really probably needs to be 16 teams "in theory" ... so that while those CCG teams are playing... basically the other 8 teams are having a play in game for the last 4 spots. That will then actually give winning your conference some value again.

The conferences (especially the SEC and B1G) just need to get rid of the CCG and just make the regular season standings winner the conference champ.

Especially if it doesn't benefit the runner up and favors the 3rd place team.

And tickets won't be cheap for any of the games, either.
