NCAA - slowly ruining football (rules changes - merged)

This sport is cooked. Nobody is going to watch 8-3 WVU vs 8-3 Pitt competing for a CFP Participation Trophy.

And now nobody is going to watch the blue bloods other than their own fans, because they're guaranteed to get into the CFP no matter what.

Like UGA/Bama last week for example. Completely and utterly worthless game now. I watch games like those every Saturday and have my entire life, that's done now. Over.

The TV execs played themselves. They just fucked the sport.
Meh….this was inevitable. The moment the TV deals started having 9 zeros after the first number it was always going to happen

Has a team ever won with field goals, while the other scores at least one touchdown?

Poor OP could’ve avoided this all if only AI was around 20 years ago.

This thread came to mind because UAB beat ECU in over time. UAB had the ball first, and scored to go up 24-17. Then ECU threw a pick 6 and the defender actually ran it all back.

My first question in my mind was has that happened before? And if so how often?

Well instead of embarrassing myself on BP, I googled it and Gemini gave me the answer:
We had Google 20 years ago.

The silly cunt could have looked it up then too.

Game Thread tOSU at Indiana, Saturday Oct. 17, Noon ET, FOX

If you're gonna get Bey heavily involved get him in space on swing passes and normal outside run type plays. Wildcat nonsense is just asking for negative plays.
And for the love of god Bey....don't bounce everything outside. When defenders know your only move is jump cut to the outside, it's not really that great of a move.

Indiana's D line is not as talented as last year, and their secondary as well.

If OSU packs the box, I feel like OSU's DB's can keep things in check enough.

I feel like OSU wins this one.

Hoover is good but nowhere at the level of Mendoza.

Won't be easy but I think OSU wins this.

OL Coach Tyler Bowen (Official Thread)

Obviously with the whole countable assistants going away we need a recruiter OL coach and coaching OL coach why try to find the unicorn when you can have the relatedly common of one or the other and just hire 2 of them.
I am conflicted. They aren't horrible, but also sometimes are out of sync.

Should be better but not bad.

The exact games where this anomaly has occurred include:


  • 1996: Arizona State 48, USC 35 — The Sun Devils used an overtime pick-six to cap off a thrilling 13-point victory.
  • 1998: Central Michigan 36, Eastern Michigan 23 — This game ended on a defensive "scoop and score" fumble recovery in the extra period.
  • 2022: Kansas 55, West Virginia 42 — The Jayhawks secured their upset in Morgantown with an overtime interception return.
  • 2026: UAB 30, East Carolina 17 — The Blazers most recently matched this feat with a dramatic game-ending pick-six during their homecoming game.

If Sayin played well last year it never involves a kicker.

Smith/Day need to help Sayin get us in the right plays, set the right protections and then Sayin needs to calm the fuck down and see the middle of the field.

You have #4, someone is open somewhere
He's always open
