Translation. 18 point underdogs don't get primetime.
Saban is pissed at the implication that any of his players should waste their time going to class.

Cold harsh reality for Nubs. Completely irrelevant and ancient history.
This.
Notice how Notre Dame doesn't complain when their game with Army fails to get a prime spot?
Mandel (i think) said that 5 of the top 10 rated games from last season were in the Noon ET slot. Serious eye roll to OU for publicly complaining about it
My guess is that by about halfway through the second quarter the fuskers fans are going to wish that it had been slotted onto PAC12MT at midnight PST so they don't have to deal with the embarrassment.
I counted 3 before Thanksgiving, all ACC games. Definitely seems like there used to be more in the past, like almost every week there'd be a P5 game on Thursday

What constitutes a letdown?
Losing a national championship on a 2nd and 26 play to a backup QB?
Losing a SEC championship on a tackle inside the five-yard line as time expires?

Losing championships suck...
CU has won the national championship more recently than Georgia.
That and scoreboard.... the only 2 things I can actually brag about right now when comparing the programs.

I'm not trying to give you a rash....our NC team could pretty much compete with & beat just about any NC team over the last 25 yrs. Different time different game....amazing Biekert & Brown were Sophs talk about depth.
Only by a little over a decade though, pretty close.
Spencer Rattler Takes Pay Cut To Help Sooners Recruit Better Players
NORMAN, OK—Hoping to make a personal sacrifice to aid Oklahoma’s run at the National Championship, star quarterback Spencer Rattler announced plans Monday to take a pay cut to help the Sooners recruit better players. “I’m happy to reconstruct my weekly cash handoffs if that’s what it takes for...

I'd hate to see how much CU players are getting paid.
Sounds like 12 team playoff is most likely the route that'll be taken
This is a good direction. College football is completely stuck in neutral and program inequality is expanding.
Yep, basically, going to 6 or 8 with automatic qualifiers is a non starter for the SEC and Notre Dame because it reduces the number of at large bids, so it sounds like they prefer 10 or 12 so the there can be 6 AQs (five P5 champs and highest ranked G5 champ) and then 4-6 at large bids. Conference championship games then become defacto playoff (play-in) games.
I wonder how the seeding would happen in this scenario? The top 4 would likely get byes, so I wonder if they would just use the "CFP Rankings" after Conference Championship weekend to determine seeding, or if the more fun, dramatic option would be to do a "Selection Sunday" sort of set up like March Madness where they go seed by seed, with only 6 AQs being assured a spot and there other 6 being "selected".

I have no problem with the current format...1991 would you have rather had it than the UPI & AP?<blind guess probably.
Expanding the format to 8 or more dilutes it and as it is right now the only way the P12 can get an entry.
Agreed. If it is just an expanded version of what we have, I will still call it a failure. What needs to happen is auto-bids for the P5 conferences and one at large G5 auto-bid.
Seems to me that expansion should increase revenue to the P12. We'll at least have a team or 2 in the field.
