CBS Sportsline College Football Playoffs

Cool 11W (nostalgic) article on the CFP ideas back in 1975.
www.elevenwarriors.com
A College Football Playoff-type system was proposed more than 50 years ago, before it debuted in the 2014 season.
Although the CFP has only been in place for 11 years, debuting as a four-team playoff in 2014 before increasing to 12 teams this past season, discussions of a playoff system were first discussed in 1975.
Fifty years ago, some called for a college football playoff system to decide the national champion, but Woody Hayes, among others, was against the idea.
From the Jan. 2, 1975 issue of The Lantern:
While many Ohio State students interviewed had mixed reviews about the voting system compared to a BCS system, compared to a playoff system to decide a national champion, Hayes thought a playoff system would hurt other bowl games.
"A playoff for the national championship would hurt the bowl games. And that's not good, because many teams wouldn't normally get anywhere or go in the bowl games.
"The national championship is won right there on the football field during the bowl games. It was won in the last two minutes in the Rose Bowl by John McKay and his team. That's the way it should be."
According to Marvin Homan, the publicity director of the athletics department, it would have led to the college football season being too long.
"The NFL is not really comparable to the structure of college football. There are only 28 NFL teams while there are 126 college teams. For colleges to copy that idea isn't very wise.
"Besides, those men play football for a living. They aren't going to school. Many athletic administrations wouldn't be in favor of prolonging the season. This would be too much overemphasis on football."

Google AI: The College Football Playoff's new television deal, a six-year, $7.8 billion contract with ESPN, will generate $1.3 billion annually. This revenue is distributed to participating conferences and schools, with the Big Ten and SEC receiving the largest shares. Specifically, schools from these conferences will receive approximately $21 million each. The ACC and Big 12 will receive roughly $13 million and $12 million, respectively.
Just sayin': The attitudes about a CFP has rurally changed over the decades; needless to say, the driving force of change has been the money. Lots of money.
Remember When: College Football Playoff System Idea Rejected By Woody Hayes and Others in 1975
A College Football Playoff-type system was rejected in 1975 by Woody Hayes, among others, due to concerns that it would lead to an excessively long season and its effect on other bowl games.

Why Bruce Thornton is Jake Diebler's lifeline for the Ohio State basketball team
The best player for the Ohio State basketball team is tied to Jake Diebler's future.
The Ohio State basketball program continues to search for ways to get out of the hole it's been in for the last three years. In each of those three seasons, the Buckeyes have failed to reach the NCAA Tournament. It looked like they were going to break that awful streak last season, but collapsed down the stretch.
There are some Buckeye fans who are already out on Jake Diebler ( I don't count myself among those people...yet) even though he is just approaching his second full season as a head coach. He made a lot of mistakes last year, but he should have learned from them in the offseason.

Diebler is going to face some pressure from fans who never wanted him hired in the first place. A segment of the fan base wanted the Ohio State Buckeyes to make an outside hire. Instead, they promoted from within. Diebler has one guy who can help him get those fans to change their minds.
Jake Diebler needs Bruce Thornton to carry the Ohio State basketball team to the NCAA Tournament
Bruce Thornton has been the best player the Buckeyes have had in each of the last two seasons. He is back and should be better than ever. He's the only guy that Ohio State can rely on to create some offense with any regularity. Thornton is the key to the team's success..

Put on your thinking caps and grab your favorite drink, it’s time for a special edition of Ohio State trivia.
Last night, Faizan Zaki won the 2025 Scripps Howard Spelling Bee by correctly spelling “éclaircissement.” You know, the word of French origin you use daily that means to clear up something obscure. In honor of the kids who will never need to use their computer's spell checker, it's time to test your ability to spell the names of former Ohio State players.
There are two simple rules: Please use your brain (not a search engine) and only play once. If you need more éclaircissement, don't cheat.
Here's the first one:
The Buckeye pictured above is the only player in college football history to win the Heisman Trophy twice. How do you spell his name?
