2025 College Football Playoffs Discussion (12 Team Format)

We have to keep the BigTen trend going.
Sorry to double-post, but you bring up a really good point. I mean, I don't agree with it, but it's worth mentioning. Remember in 2006-2012, and then for a while later, the SEC was the best conference because of their championships. And that was all we ever heard about. And I think it was Gatorubet, a Florida fan poster on here for a while, he said, "Just because the best team comes from that conference doesn't meant that that is the best conference." But ESPN and the national talk shows didn't listen. To be fair, I think the SEC WAS the best conference, but none of those national media folks would give any substantive arguments. Just, "SEC wins it, again."

Kinda like the LeBron vs. Michael argument. Jordan won like 6 NBA championships. LeBron... 3? Well, how many did Scottie Pippen win? 6? Was he also better than LeBron, then? (For the record, I'm not getting involved in that one - I just think the number of championships is a lousy argument.)

So, now that the SEC hasn't even been in the national title game in 3 years, what's their take? I'm sure it isn't "The Big Ten is better than us." I bet they're talking about their depth and how hard it truly is to win in their conference, and when they get to the playoff, they are just too beat up to continue.

We have to keep the BigTen trend going.
With all due respect, because you have a good point. But...
1. I don't really care if the Big Ten trend continues. I just want Buckeye championships. Indiana, Purdue, Rutgers, Oregon, Washington, Nebraska - they're all the same: "Not Ohio State."
2. Fuck the cheaters and their 2023 championship.
3. I do dig that the SEC hasn't even been in the championship game for 3 straight years, though. But, to call back to #2, I'd have rather Alabama beat the cheaters in the semi-finals and made it to the championship that year.

That fucker would have to shower with bleach because he is a complete asshole!

The only MLB’er I met that was nicer than Sammy Sosa was Tony Gwynn, and I’ve met them all. Just putting it out there. He signed everything I asked him to sign and always remembered me by name. Rarer than rare.

Miami (FL) Hurricanes (1926-2003)

I'm not sure why people can't just see these young men as young men. They make more money than the average young man their age, but they still make decisions like young men, and have to learn that their decisions have consequences. If a kid is working sales for say, Pepsi, he may have a non-compete contract that he can't work for a competitor for X amount of years. Its up to him to know the terms of the contract, but no one will care about that kid because he doesn't throw a football
Not to get into a legal debate here, but haven’t non-competes been ruled to be unenforceable in many cases? Hasn’t it been ruled in these cases that you can’t prohibit someone from being employed in their field?

Should semipro/college players be paid, or allowed to sell their stuff? (NIL and Revenue Sharing)

The payments of prior times don’t even Come close to the machinations of NI! Servitude. The bidding, paying, processes of the NIL program are what caused all I said. It’s like a cattle market.
Its always been a cattle market! Regardless of the money being more or not. People in the 80s, 90s, 2000s, etc have said that CFB was dead or they'd stop watching because of some reason, and it usually came back to unfair advantages in the sport. Which in the past was whispered, but it was still about the money. You don't think there was "payment servitude" in the past with SMU, Oklahoma, Nebraska, in the 70s and 80s? Come on now. Its just gasping and clutching pearls in a new form. Nothing is new under the sun

Agreed. I’m not siding with the players on this or siding with anyone really. Just pointing out this is normative behavior in the business world. You just dont see headlines for it every day.

But did he break the contract? Has anybody seen a copy of it?
It was posted in a tweet. There are some arguments that it was badly formed in that there is no out clause and damages section like the Big Ten and SEC have been working on so it might not be enforceable but we'll see.

Not the tweet I saw but this seems to have most of it.

P Brady Young (Official Thread)

Young, a native of Perrysburg, Ohio, began his career at Cincinnati after graduating high school in 2021. He redshirted that year and spent four total seasons with the Bearcats, but never appeared in a game. He transferred to Houston Christian ahead of his fifth season, seeking an opportunity to start at the FCS level.

In his first year as a starter with the Huskies in 2025, Young averaged 41.8 yards per punt across 69 boots, with 17 punts downed inside the opposing 20-yard line and 12 that traveled 50 yards or more. He had one punt clear 60 yards, a career-long 66-yard boot against Northern Colorado on Sept. 20.

Just sayin':
1. Anybody know how he qualifies for a 6th year? Doesn't the year at Houston Christian count?
2. Yeah, he'll get to compete for P1; however, I'll say the coaches just picked him up expecting him to be the back up punter.
Likely he found a medical issue for 1 of his 3 years at Cincinnati after the R/S.
