College Football Playoff (2015-16 Season)

[BayBuck]

Looks like we become the first team to play in the Fiesta Bowl seven times - Wikipedia has tied with several with 6 appearances.

Fuck Iowa, Fuck Stanford, Fuck Alabama, Fuck Choklahoma. Fuck all the new teams in the Big Ten that prevented an OSU/Iowa game, and Fuck Michigan.

fuck Tim Beck to infinity more than any of that list

Lol.. Ya it was the weathers fault. That's why msu had no trouble with some throws

They had 90 yards passing. In a collegiate game. Not a half. And nearly half of that was on 1 pass. So yes, it did have an effect. To say otherwise is silly.

I didn't say it was completely the weather's fault you imbecile, I said it clearly had an impact on play calling.

I don't think it did. If weather was a concern, Zeke should have gotten more carries. The play calling was bad, true. But it wasn't bad because of the weather, unless Beck is even more of an idiot than we give him credit for.

Resorting to name calling already? Good discussion

If you're clearly not even going to bother reading my posts then there's no discussion to be had really.

What is the point of having a committee of the playoffs are going to be all conference champions every year, regardless of their records?

.. He had a nice pass on their first td drive..

Sometimes fans ...wow. Go Bucks! Beat ND.

Because there are allegedly 5 power conferences and only 4 spots. I really don't consider the Big 12 or the ACC as "power" conferences though.

they will have to expand it sooner than later

Every major sport has realized that sometimes the conference winners aren't the best teams

My concern there is that it means a structural change to the regular season which has already been diluted by just a 4 team playoff.

Yes, especially when you don't play everybody in your conference....

Well this year it didn't matter. But assuming you're referring to Stanford if they would have gotten in, then yes. I think an 8 team playoff with the first round at the top seed's stadium will be great. Maybe 2 weeks after the end of the season. And to not force the loser to miss out on valuable bowl practices, you can have the losers face each other an additional 2 weeks later during the main bowl season. Imagine this:
ND at Clemson
OSU at bama
Stanford at MSU
Iowa at Oklahoma

Also, imagine Florida in a future year going to the Shoe in mid December? Awesome.

I'm also very protective of the regular season, and worry about what eight teams will do to it.

Sooner indeed, especially if the ratings tank this year.

It's simple math. More teams = more interest = more viewers = more $$$.

It will be interesting to see if OSU/ND at 1pm New Year's day has a higher rating than the (2) playoff games. ok, ok, people have better things to do New Year's Eve than watch Sparty get destroyed by 'Bama.

I think 8 will remain integrity. 16 would absolutely obliterate the integrity of the regular season. And while of course there would be times where a team or two get in that don't deserve it, more often than not you'll need 2 or less losses.
