2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

Our conversations are silent on the two teams from Mickey Mouse conferences that crawl in because...participation trophy. JMU? Stunning 4th quarter win against 5-6 Washington State? If I was a ND fan, I'd be asking why in the hell those guys get an auto bid.

Eh we all know the rules before the season starts. I think once you lose 2 games you lose the right to complain. as a P4 (especially for the B1G SEC and ND) if you can stay under 2 losses you are getting in basically every year barring some freak season. Once you lose that 2nd game and put it into the hands of the committee, it's all on you at that point.

ESPN (A bunch of Death-Spiraling maroons)

A degenerate gambler who is on Cowherd show said our D was not formidable enough. wtf I about threw my remote at the tv.
Why in the hell are you watching Colin Cowherd? Do you realize they literally had a meeting to discuss how to do exactly what you almost did?

How people who actually watch these rage baiting morons think production meetings go:
"Hey guys, another great week in sports. What do you all think is worthy of air time today?"
"All the conferences had their championship games....we could talk about that."
"Lot's of good action from the NFL this week. Can you believe the Chiefs might not make the playoffs?"
"They're probably playing NBA games now, somebody could google if anything is happening there."

How production meetings actually go:
"OK guys let's bait some rage. Which fanbase gives us the most eyeballs when we shit on them?"
"Ohio State"
"Notre Dame"
"The Packers"
"Nice...nice....everybody come up with some one liners that will get those message boards flowing. Now, which topics generate mountains of clicks when we talk nice about them?"
"The Chiefs"
"Yankees"
"Cool. And which conferences are we currently in bed with.....making us more money when they do well, even though that goes against journalistic integrity of covering the sports instead of involving ourselves in their day to day interactions?"
"The SEC"
"The ACC"
"Alright......you know what to do. Go out there and farm that outrage!"

2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

I know we won't go backwards, but, wouldn't it make sense to treat CCG *as* a playoff game? Make that the first round? Let’s go back to divisions, play everyone in your division - send the divisional winners after a week off to recover for the CCG. Conference winners then seed a national playoff.
You’re right, there’s no going backwards.

But if they went to 14 and had the top-2 CCG winners get the only byes, they would accomplish getting more games and keep the CCGs as being meaningful.

It makes too much sense to actually happen.

B1G CCG: #1 tOSU vs #2 Indiana in Indy, Sat. Dec 6th, 8 ET on FOX

I know one thing they will see when they self scout this month, CJ Donaldson is a damn near 100% tell.

When he's in, he's in for pass pro.
Outside the red zone, 100%. When he came in outside of the red zone the first time I mentioned that to the people we were watching with. There was one play, however, they leaked him into the soft zone like they have run with Jackson many times this year.

Notre Dame (football only discussion)

We neither want nor need this fucking cancer in the B1G.

Notre Dame (football only discussion)

Their AD is doing the press junket today already. About the 3rd or 4th show I’ve seen quotes from this morning.

So you let a group of people unrelated to ND or the ACC damage the bullshit one-sided relationship you have between ND and the ACC? And we're supposed to care? Fuck off.

Notre Dame (football only discussion)

The ACC should say: Thank you for your candid remarks that about the CFP Committee decisions. While we understand and share your disappointment, your comments reveal fundamental differences in our understanding of the ACC/Notre Dame relationship. Frankly, we find your views to be offensive. We are instructing our members to reschedule all ACC conference games with Notre Dame after the 2026 academic year with immediate effect.

Than watch the sanctimonious asses walk those comments back and threaten lawsuits.
