Bowl Games (other than ours) and associated silliness 2024 Plus the Playoffs

I find the "who should be in, who should be out" arguments tiresome.

The only reason we have this is because we were always pissed off that we didn't have a "true champion". If you can't get into the top 12, you're incapable of winning the championship, so **** you and shut up.

Yeah, the arguments mattered a lot more when you were comparing teams #3-#8.

This year it probably would have been Oregon, Notre Dame, Georgia, and then probably Texas.

Leaving Penn State out for Texas would have rightfully been much more contentious.

I don’t really care for the argument of “only 5-6 teams have a realistic shot” when discussing the playoff. It’s not about that, IMO, it’s about entertainment value and having more great matchups and meaningful games and giving a path to more teams.

End of the day, if we stayed at 4 team CFP, last nights game and this game would still likely happen but it would be an exhibition game called “The Orange Bowl” (or Rose/Sugar/Cotton/Peach/etc). So what’s the difference? Might as well make the NY6 bowl game matchups mean something in a tournament format.

I think we’re also going to get 16 team CFP. Probably 4 B1G and SEC autobids each, Big 12 and ACC get 2 autobids each and then 4 at large.

I think the only holdup there is that it wipes out 90% value of the Conference Championship Games in terms of TV contracts etc. I'm not bothered by it, but college football has never pursued a rational path to build a sensible structure, so I'm dubious that it will ever be the case.

Yeah I was thinking about how they would plan on keeping the CCG value in that setting. Maybe still giving the conference champs the top 4 seeds and home games for the first two rounds (if they win in round one)?

Maybe, but SEC chodes are bitching that Alabama, Ole Miss, and whoever else should be in the playoff. Why? So they can lose again? Alabama has 3 losses in the season. The only guarantee in including them in the CFP that they will finish with 4.

There was an argument with a 4 game playoff that a team capable of winning it all would be left out. That has been resolved with a 12 team playoff. Whining about being left out is just loser talk. Win more games.

I haven’t watched a single SMU game. Is Jennings really this bad? He looks like Brendan Lewis circa 2021

But do games like last night (or this one if it keeps going like it has so far) generate "entertainment value, great matchups and meaningful games" or ist just a filler to find out what we already know and create some additional revenue?

I think that when (and we will) we go to 16 8 B1G/SEC spots might just be the start but ultimately I think they'll just keep pushing for more spots and more revenue and use a breakaway league outside the NCAA's jurisdiction as leverage to keep the Big 12 and ACC in the fold with their argument being "you're better off with a tiny piece of our big cake than no cake at all" but their plan for the endgame will always be a SEC/B1G merger where the bluebloods can draw up their own rules. They're gonna bend this until it breaks. And it will break.
 
Lost in this suckfest by Jennings is that Allar has been equally sucky with the exception of throwing the ball to guys in the wrong color jerseys.
