2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

I think it’s the North vs North thing. ND isn’t as national as they think they are, and Ohio state has been there a lot recently. The southeast annd southwest US likely ignored the game.
IU brought a lot of viewers as a ‘cool story’ and Miami is a great team to hate. It was a great north south battle (most of the folks here in Florida were cheering for IU). Similar to Ohio State vs Oregon. East vs West. Blue blood vs likeable scrappy new team searching for their first title, but that time the villain won.
If it's me, I'm looking at those viewership numbers and also at my sister pro leagues NFL vs MLB and thinking
-this (and a lot of other data) validates the appetite for the sport of college football (not just the heavyweight brands). It is an important distinction.
-I see how the NFL monetizes "the shield" and promotes the entire league by one central promotion of the brand.
-I look at MLB and see the alternative approach and how a few mega brands are separating so far from minor brands that the league is in jeopardy of impaired revenue.
There needs to be a P4 League of some sort and soon. I think this is known and understood in the halls of CFP power and is the reason behind the pushback on the PE capital injection into the B1G sports entertainment entity. They pretty much said in comments that they didn't want to have media rights locked up long term right now ....I read that as wanting to have the optionality to take said rights to a new league.
Given the constraint (NIL isn't going away) I don't see too many other avenues than a P4 "super league" of some sort.

Not exactly a sparkling jewel in the crown of shit to own.
Beale St used to be a lot of fun.As far as our new OC goes, let's just wait and see. I feel like coordinators (and all coaches really) get too much credit when it's good and too much blame when it's bad. The talent level you have to work with has a lot to do with how "good" of a coach you are.
He has elite talent at his disposal and doesn't have to recruit, just draw plays and "coach ball".
We shall see.

Hmmmmm 2PM in South Bend. BB73 couldn't hold his liquor. He'd be passed out close to the Studebaker factory.In the 1935 game: There appears to be 2 dark colored stripes on the back side of Ohio State's pants.

I found this too:
BB73 probably got to see the 1936 game for just $4.40.....

So the kid has been making money before NIL and more money than NFL rookie LB is gonna make.
Mohamed Toure, key member of Miami defense, plans to return for rare eighth year of eligibility in 2026

Mohamed Toure, key member of Miami defense, plans to return for rare eighth year of eligibility in 2026
Toure began his college career at Rutgers in 2019
Mohamed Toure's college football journey isn't ending anytime soon. The standout Miami linebacker is planning to return for the 2026 season, giving him a rare eighth year of eligibility, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz and 247Sports' Gaby Urrutia. The decision follows the Hurricanes' run to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game and keeps one of their most productive defenders around for another year.
Toure's return is technically legitimate under NCAA rules. He redshirted as a true freshman at Rutgers in 2019. Then, in 2020, the NCAA granted all players a free year of eligibility because of the pandemic-shortened season. On top of that, Toure lost two full seasons to ACL injuries while at Rutgers -- in 2022 and again in 2024 -- both of which resulted in medical redshirts.
Stacked together, those technicalities created an unusual path: a traditional redshirt, a COVID waiver and two medical redshirts. The result is an eighth season of college football for a player who first arrived on campus at Rutgers in January 2019 as a three-star recruit.

The decision also reflects the modern structure of college football. With NIL opportunities and revenue sharing now part of the landscape, staying in school has become a realistic option for players with remaining eligibility who aren't projected early-round NFL picks. For veterans like Toure, another year can offer both financial stability and a chance to improve draft positioning.
Eight seasons in college football isn't normal. It's not supposed to happen. But in Toure's case, the rules allow it -- and Miami is set to benefit from it.

Too lazy… why did they give Memphis 25mil?They are already giving NIL money to Memphis.

FedEx pledges $25M over 5 years to NIL program at Memphis
FedEx on Friday pledged $25 million over the next five years to be used in sponsorship deals with University of Memphis athletes, a huge boost for the school's name, image and likeness compensation efforts.
The Memphis-based shipping giant said the program will initially focus on football, men's and women's basketball and other women's sports. The deal was facilitated by Altius Sports Partners, a company that works with dozens of schools on NIL activities.
The deal is for $5 million per year, a significant sum for a school that does not play in a wealthy power conference. The Tigers compete in the American Athletic Conference.

Also it was a 2 new teams thing. Espescially IUI think it’s the North vs North thing. ND isn’t as national as they think they are, and Ohio state has been there a lot recently. The southeast annd southwest US likely ignored the game.
IU brought a lot of viewers as a ‘cool story’ and Miami is a great team to hate. It was a great north south battle (most of the folks here in Florida were cheering for IU). Similar to Ohio State vs Oregon. East vs West. Blue blood vs likeable scrappy new team searching for their first title, but that time the villain won.
