And before anyone argues about the fcs,

I was at the week 0 game at NDSU and sat next to a guys who has been a die hard Bisons fan for decades. He told me that about half the stadium was full during early round playoff games because the fans were getting bored with those games since they made the playoffs every year and won during most of them.

An extreme example since they were a fcs dynasty for a while, but I think it will hold as if LSU went to the playoffs at 8-4 to play a 10-2 liberty, I would not care to go to that game.

I am absolutely certain this is not only going to hurt regular season viewership, but it is also going to drive down ticket prices for regular season games.

Nobody is paying hundreds of dollars to watch a regular season game anymore. Those days are done.

Hopefully the schools are getting a huge slice of the CFP pie, otherwise they are going to be in pain from lack of ticket revenue.

No they aren't. They went undefeated in the new extended playoff era. Some would say that is the hardest undefeated season ever.

They deserve maximum respect.

I think we can win, but after the injury report its a toss up.

This sport is cooked. Nobody is going to watch 8-3 WVU vs 8-3 Pitt competing for a CFP Participation Trophy.

And now nobody is going to watch the blue bloods other than their own fans, because they're guaranteed to get into the CFP no matter what.

Like UGA/Bama last week for example. Completely and utterly worthless game now. I watch games like those every Saturday and have my entire life, that's done now. Over.

The TV execs played themselves. They just fucked the sport.

I’m picturing a future 24-team playoff.

One team from the non Power-4.
Notre Dame, probably as long as they’re 8-4.
Three ACC teams.
Three Big-12 teams.

That leaves 8 spots each for the B1G and the SEC. So basically all teams that went at least 5-4 in conference play.

It’s NFL Lite.

The only thing I take contention with is relying upon Bey to a key part.

The real key part is Bo Jackson keeping the offense on schedule with his running. If the running game gets going - and we all know Jackson is the bell cow in that part of the offense right now - that makes things easier on Sayin for the passing game and then Bey for the explosive game playing off of established tendencies.

It's likely they are going to double up on Jeremiah. Hopefully this will free up others that Julian can also throw to.

like previously mentioned. If Sayin balls out Indiana will be hard pressed to keep up and this defense should feast. Hoover is beyond due to throw some meatball subs
