College Football Playoffs Expansion Discussion

i also don't like extending it much beyond even 10 or 12 because it makes the regular season less meaningful.

but... there's no way the ratings can drop. mathematically it would not go in that direction. more teams = more games = more money. it does somehow "devalue" the regular season, but it doesn't seem to get in the way with mlb, nba, nfl, nhl.

and with nil there's not going to be angst about letting college athletes endure more wear and tear.

so, as long as you don't drop more than something like 3 games in the regular season, and your roster isn't totally depleted, you're going to be in and able to make a run and earn more $$$.

and the more you let in the more it promotes the narrative of "make a run".

This current first round exposure of the non elite teams is no bueno for ratings in the long run. Now they will be able to get idiots like Herbie spewing 'Cinderella!!!" when one mediocre team beats 2-3 mediocre teams before they face a big boy.

Reflexivity of a sort.

Asinine Conspiracies

What does BP think of Mandela Effects? I find those interesting.. things that just seem undeniable from my childhood: fruit of the loom having a cornucopia, Chik-fil-A, and "take my strong hand" being some of the all time hits. Is my generation collectively misremembering or what is this? Chinese knock off shirts sold at Kmart?

The Ohio State Baseball (Official Thread)

Disgusting ending to an otherwise very improved season.

The offense was a hack fest but the home plate ump wasn't doing any favors. scUM pitcher got constant questionable strike calls whole our pitcher constantly got squeezed into walks. A definite case of a conference making the call to do all they can to try to push another team into the tournament

Former Buckeye Jakub Dobeš has been one of the brightest stars in the NHL Playoffs

The rookie goaltender already has two Game 7 victories in the playoffs under his belt.

There is only one former Ohio State Buckeye left in the NHL Playoffs.

Montreal goaltender Jakub Dobeš has played a major role in the Canadiens advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals after outlasting both the Tampa Bay Lightning and Buffalo Sabres in seven game series in the first two rounds.

Heading into the 2025-26 season, Sam Montembeault was the top goaltender for Montreal after starting 60 games last season, earning 31 wins and posting a 2.82 goals against average in the regular season. Montembeault didn’t live up to expectations over the first two months of the season, allowing 41 goals in the 13 games he appeared in.

Eventually Montreal would turn to Dobeš, who is still considered a rookie after starting 15 games during the regular season last year, and two games in the playoffs. The former Buckeye impressed in December and January, going 10-2-1 over those two months.

By the time Montreal and the rest of the NHL took some time off in February to break for the Olympics, it was clear Dobeš was the top goalie for the Canadiens.

Where does Malone project in college? Assuming CB, with Walton being his primary?

MrBuck24 23 hours ago

I like the potential Malone has. He's got the speed and arm length to be a good corner. Twitchy and can flip his hips pretty good. I think he could play that NB spot too. Like Hancock and Styles did.
