College Football Playoffs Expansion Discussion

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.

yep, it is hard, and I agree the best team doesn't always win. But I'm tired of the deck being stacked (mostly in the SEC's favor). If we want an even playing field, then it needs to be EVEN for everyone. None of this "eye test" and hypotheticals. Make winning mean something again, that's all I ask. My fear is the more we expand, the more the regular season doesn't matter. We'll get to the point where fucking 7-6 LSU is in over some 10-2 team. Hell, we almost got there this year with arguing for Vandy. You think they wouldn't have chosen Vandy over Iowa? They'd definitely choose Missouri and Tennessee over Kennesaw and Western Michigan, who actually won a conference. None of those teams have any chance of actually winning it all, but at least 2 of them deserve the chance to try.

DC Matt Patricia (Official Thread)

Patricia's d also forced three fumbles, which were twice miraculously recovered. They led to 10 points for miami, one of them directly saving the fg try.

The one that bounced out wide was a prime opportunity for a scoop and score.

The back seven has elite talent, with one elite DT upfront. The other DL are Iowa guys, which is not a mockery. They are sound, physical and can make plays but they are not early draft picks. A couple of them will go later and last in the league though.

Huh, that’s interesting

Maybe I’m being overly optimistic, but watching a ton of bowl games, it’s wild how many good kickers there are at lower level teams. Dudes just knocking kicks down from 50+ with relative ease.

I have to think we’ve got something lined up here…

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".

PK Jayden Fielding (All B1G, National Champion, Ottawa Redblacks)

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.
