When walking into the building I work in, I sometimes mutter under my breath "Welcome to North South East West Central Shitfuckistan", so, based on that, I would say yes.

The main thing I remember about Central State is that they gave an honorary doctorate to Mike Tyson, who when he accepted it, in his tee hee child-like voice said something like: "Now that I'm a doctor, I wonder what kind of doctor I'll be? Maybe a gynecologist."

They have already been doing that since all of this started.

Everyone was just jealous of Harbaugh and unfairly attacking him, the establishment is witch hunting and wants to keep Michigan down for some reason yadda yadda yadda

This is...interesting. Not sure why the hell Texas would have any say here?

If the game does get moved, the FOX lackey's in here are gonna be in shambles

I haven’t really been part of this discussion, but it seems to me that it’s been a disagreement between people unhappy with the number of noon kickoffs and people who are unbothered by it. From my perspective, calling them Fox lackeys is intellectually dishonest at best

Agreed. There are some here who want it moved to a later time, and others who say that the complaints aren't going to be heard by anyone who cares. I don't know of any "lackeys".
I also don't know of anyone who would be in "shambles" if it gets moved.
Also also, I'm not sure why Texas would have any say. Also also also, I don't know why Ohio State would have any say.
Whatever...

Yeah the tweet and article was pretty poorly worded.

But yeah Texas' likely excuse is they don't want to be on a "short" week, or whatever. Which is probably how/why they got to have a say in this, I would imagine something like that would have had to be agreed on when they scheduled the home & home years ago.

I know the chances of this are remote, but can the Big Ten Conference strip them of their Connor Stalions/Jim Harbaugh cheating Big Ten titles?

Yes.
And they will, if the NCAA strips them of their championship.

Oregon's reward for being #1 was to have to play the best team in the mf country. That wasn't fair to them, no matter how much fun it was.

I think my issue is that that wasn't the fault of the format. Theoretically, the "best team in the country" is the #1 team. And if not them, it's the #2 team. And if not them, it's the #3 team, which is sorta the #5 team. It's not the #6 or #8 team. Right? I mean, it was, but how common is that?

I'm not against the change to straight seeds, rather than giving preference to conference champions. I probably prefer it. But I don't like the idea of reacting to one season like it was the worst tragedy ever. It reminds me of 2003 when USC got hosed. Despite being #1 in both "real polls" they were #3 in the BCS poll. Rather than pointing and laughing at USC for losing a game, the college football world decided to suplex the formula into something that any noob fan could understand.

I don't think the end result would have changed if we had used straight seeding based off rankings, rather than giving precedence to conference winners. The only thing that would have changed is which round the teams would have lost in.

WTF, I wish my house looked this modern

as long as they are proper victims...let them


I don't mean Millennial "you made me feel unsafe" kind of victim I mean an old school beat to an inch of your life kind of victim.

Ohio State and Penn State (after the firings) cooperated completely. Ono, Warde and the football staff have done nothing except stonewall, lie and stall. Natural that this will take longer.

That tweet sure leaves out a key element - OSU proposed to move it back a day in addition to making it an evening game. I'm glad TX said 'no thanks' as I have tickets to NIN on the 31st:-)

That was the deciding factor, actually

Wait a minute.
Are you advocating for the Boise State, SMU, Toledo’s of the CFB world?

Who is my understanding that doing so but earn a Perma ban from Buckeye planet?

I like to be fair in some cases when it's in spite of the SEC, but unfair in other instances when it suits me better.

My $.02 - stop playing around with it. Let it run, as is, for a couple of years and then adjust.

The flaws in the BCS became evident after 3-4 years. Same for the 4 team CFB.
Let the current structure breathe a bit. Then adjust in say - 2028 or beyond.


Too soon to start monkeying around with something so new.

Agree mostly. Progress over perfection is always the way.

I do think you could make simple tweaks every couple of years though on obvious stuff. The mid major gets a bye because they won their conference thing will never make sense so why not change it now (which it sounds like they are doing).
