2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Holy shit. The Sirius morning guys went ballistic on the sec. They must have been reading this board. They used the phrase "preseason sec hype," talked about how inflated rankings pump up the quality of wins and negate their losses and even mocked Greg Sankey pounding his fist on the table to hype the conference.

I wonder who'll be hosting that show next week.

2026 tOSU Special Teams Discussion

Former Ohio State star sends Ryan Day some important transfer portal advice after Cotton Bowl loss to Miami

The former Buckeyes star wants a major change made in how the team attacks the transfer portal this year.

Fresh off a frustrating Cotton Bowl loss to the Miami Hurricanes, the Ohio State Buckeyes staff has plenty to do this offseason. It was an impressive campaign for much of the regular season for them, but the ultimate goal was not achieved. They fell short, and clear holes on the roster made a massive difference in the end for OSU.

The transfer portal will play a key role in creating another dominant roster for the Buckeyes in 2026, but an underrated need is already getting pointed out as one that must be addressed in an impactful way by Ohio State’s staff and NIL plan.

Garrett Wilson pushes Ohio State to find top kicker after loss to Miami

Former Buckeyes wide receiver and first-round pick of the New York Jets Garrett Wilson was understandably concerned with the inconsistency on special teams this season for Ohio State. He made that clear on social media, placing some pressure on head coach Ryan Day to go “big fish hunting” at kicker.

Just sayin': So far here are the kickers in the transfer portal....


Does anybody actually stand out as a "top kicker"?

I agree. Go to 16 teams, get rid of conference championships (if we were co champions this year then so be it), first two rounds on campus, and my recommendation is re-seed every round so the top seeds play the lowest remaining seeds.

Or shoot let the top seeds pick who they’ll play (this would be hilarious).

Yup, re seed every round as well, there needs to be incentive to finish in the top rung.

I haven't looked at the roster for Miami, but wonder if they are heavy with seniors and will be in rebuilding mode next year. I guess what I am thinking about is which team is closer to returning to the CFP next year, based on experience levels of each team. Again, I am leaning on my philosophy that the more experienced teams perform better in the CFP.

16 teams

Regular season finales are always Thanksgiving weekend.

Get rid of CC games, replace that week with the round of 16.

Round of 8 next week, semis the week after that, natty on Dec 31/Jan 1. The semis would always be around Dec 15-21, plenty of time for rest before the title. No layoffs, and it gets rolling asap.

Fuck the bowls, every game is a home game for the higher seed until the title game, which is a rotating site or just the Rose Bowl in perpetuity.

Also break away from the G-6, get rid of the committee, and never change the format.
THIS. That way teams who avoid CC games don't get extra time off from those teams who do. I'm looking at you, South Bend.

Also 2 of the 4 games were stinkers.

Indy smoked Bama it was enjoyable only in the fact that listening to Herby mock how bad Bama was getting murdered was enjoyable. Who even watched the Ore vs TT game? Too early and boring game.

OSU game was very good. And the Ole Miss game was a barn burner. I will say I was disappointed massively by OSU (I know all here agree) as OSU never rose to the moment. I was expecting a finish similar to Georgia vs Ole Miss where both teams threw haymakers.

I am 100% pulling for a Indy vs Ole Miss Final. I can’t get enough of the Indy Team of Autistic humans starting with the HC. And the Chambliss kid from a small town in MI who played at Ferris is just too good of a story. Who ever wins that game would legend.
