Maybe, just maybe college football needs one governing body that enforces rules equally, schedules equally, and has one league of officials

...And recognizes a National Champion!

I realize this is the system a lot of people wanted - a single elimination post-season tournament where every good team has a chance, even after having a flawed season.

There are no conference champions left in the final four and a team that lost at home to NIU is one of the semi-finalists -- this will be the most mythical of all national championships we've ever had.

And I'm glad UGA lost. I'll give Smart credit for growth in that he no longer requires an assistant coach pulling him around by the pants, but he's still a clown.

Let’s be real. The teams that really shouldn’t have been in this cfp:

Oregon
Boise State
SMU
Tennessee

We really only need 8 teams, which will get rid of the buy week, so everything will be dandy. Conference champions are in (if we need to stick with conferences), except Oregon (because they suck) and any bitch team not in a p4.

I assume you're just trolling, but if you're not, I'm interested in what reasoning would have kept Oregon out of the 2024 CFP.

Lanning should have. But if 8 teams were there it eliminates the extra bye week so no more excuses. Oregon still would have been boat raced, but at least it wouldn’t have wasted a game for someone.

I'm not following. Prior to Oklahoma, the NCAA did not enforce the same rules across conferences, did not have a unified set id officials and did not enforce the same scheduling rules.

We might be discussing two totally different things.

I think maybe so.

I wasn't insinuating that the NCAA ever had done that, only that prior to NCAA v Oklahoma, they could have. Nowadays, as Yak pointed out, it'll take an act of Congress to settle this.

Yep. Controlling the broadcast rights meant they controlled the money.

And that's the real control.

Ask nike, espn, and fox.

I'm not sure what's funnier here-the fact that Smart sounds like he's blaming this on the referees or the fact that he's using SEC officiating as some sort of standard bearer.

Must have been a Pac12 referee that escaped their asylum. Per the link below

"The NCAA rulebook states that you can't substitute more than 11 players "while the ball is in play" (AR 3-5-2-I) ncaapublications.com/p-4705-2024-nc…"

Replay shows the long snapper had not gotten set or touched the ball before the mass substitution, making it a dead ball and a legal play youtu.be/B78JMxYQoDM?si…

Can this please please please be Corso's last ride
Pretty please, it makes me think about my father that passed away over a decade ago and how when they start losing it, it is sad and hard to see.
He should not be put on national TV, please do something nice for him and send him home

EDIT: Collectively, College Gameday is a pretty pathetic product now. It is big for promoting the pulse of CFB, but otherwise it sucks

Gameday became unwatchable ever since Desmond Howard was added to the broadcast. The guy adds nothing of value to the show.

When did the referee signal the ball ready for play? I’m not sure how the actions of the long snapper matter.

It does raise an interesting debate. Now that paying players is above board, does the sec still have a significant advantage over similarly situated programs? Or even higher level programs in lesser conferences?

I think the power has shifted to universities with the wealthiest alums and wealthiest local business communities.

That's modified by how engaged and motivated these groups are around the success of the school's athletic programs.

But taken together, this positions the AAU education B1G with its high earnings graduates and larger local economies.

I think it's also going to really help the private schools with their very well-heeled and/or religiously motivated alums.

SMU is a great example. Very wealthy alums, Dallas location, football crazed state. (On that note, I'm increasingly thinking that Tulane would be a very good addition to the Big 12 if there's more expansion with the ACC surviving. And I'm also so fvcking tempted to geek out in the realignment thread with a conference built on this model forming from the Big 12, ACC, AAC and Independents which could compete in this era with the B1G & SEC due to the economic advantages.)

But Stanford will choose to continue to suck at football to remind us that we care about the wrong things.

And if they accidentally get good at football, it won’t matter because they won’t notice.

Officiating has been god-awful sport wide, but it wasn't a factor here. Notre Dame was clearly the better team, and Carson Beck wouldn't have made a difference in my view. Neither would the play Kirby Smart is bitching about.

What I was hoping for that little bitch to say in response to that question was this: "We got beat by a better football team. There's no point in talking about that."

Know when to ****ing take the L, Kirby.

Bowl games still going on, we have 2 or three today.. these bowl games seem to lose their luster being buried in the playoffs. Good for these late bowls is all the extra practice for teams involved
