2026 College Football Playoffs Discussion

oh well, sucks to suck. Win your conference and get invited to the dance. I said this before last year, and still stand by it. Either that or blow it all up, no bowl games and like 32 teams, 2 from each conference (no CCGs) with however many at large it takes to fill it up. If bowl games don't matter anyway, and CCGs already barely matter, just do away with them and use that week for the 1st round. Army Navy needs to move to rivalry week. Navy should have been playing for the whatever conference they're in, anyway. Maybe they get in the playoff instead of Tulane if that game isn't after selection sunday. Lot of stupid shit for "tradition" and a lot of stupid shit that butts head with tradition. Like MIke Ehrmantrout says, "no half measures".
Football is hard. There’s luck involved.

Sometimes the best teams lose. Sometimes they lose the wrong game (see OSU in 2022, 2023, 2018).

That shouldn’t mean they don’t get a shot to prove it in a playoff.

K Jayden Fielding (All B1G, National Champion)

Fielding has leg strength for days.
It's his precision that suffers under stress.

When I sae he was coming back after the championship run last year, I was disappointed.
It all stemmed from the day he kicked the ball OOB three times in a game. I recall that the camera showed Day asking him what was going on and it looked as though Fielding was blame the sun/environment. If you can't own that you're not well (as it was hip flexors or something) then I don't know how you're trusted when you're really needed.
Wisb Jayden well in his future endeavors. Imagine it won't be in kicking much longer.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Agreed, frankly most of what I listed will never happen, but an expansion to 16 would increase the overall number of games or keep it the same, even with losing the CCs.

But yes, you're entirely right on how it would be divided up. I would also love to see CFB work like the NFL, where the playoffs are distributed amongst the big networks, but again, fantasy land.
Going to 16 increases the number of games for the playoff owner. Getting rid of CCG gets rid of the game for whoever owns those right. Big ten would need to renegotiate their contract with fox/cbs/nbc (they also get half of the CCGs). I don’t think NBC or CBS is happy with the contract right now so that would open a can of worms.

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

This is all true, but I’m still proud of how our guys finished. They didn’t quit and still had Miami fans nervous as hell in the second half.

Bama got completely ran off the field and embarrassed. :lol:

Still hurts, but the Buckeyes never gave up or folded against anyone. They kept swinging.
I don't know, social media says it was a blowout.
