Crazy how bad he and that UVA offense was this year

damn, did not know he was that bad this year. I loved this dude since he was a freshmen. He was so smooth.

 

[casper90403]

from being a Cincy candidate to this? Damn

Seems like a place for him though.

 

[casper90403]

Terrible news on Blake.

I was looking forward to seeing USC vs. UM at Sofi. Old school Rose Bowl matchup.

Sounds like it was just a concealed carry mixup, why are they trying to make a big story out of it?

 

[nako xl]

Thomas isn't on the team anymore...

These are the "experts".

 

[dacomeup]

The importance of the regular season is what keeps college football unique from other sports. Call me a traditionalist, but I don't want college football to be like "every sport everywhere".

I mean, does unique mean better?

The "uniqueness" of losing one game and having your season effectively be over unless you were arbitrarily voted in the Top 5 pre-season is stupid.

I don't know what's shifted just speaking on my personal perspective on it. Schools who had zero chance now feel like they can.

Now whether they really make a deep run or not is up to the play on the field. Who would be mad at that? Either you get upsets or the bracket goes chalk and you get 1# and 2# anyways like we've been watching every year. And the top narrative with this is and always about added revenue

Didn't ppl say the the 4 team playoff would water down the regular season too? idk man this just seems all for naught. Feels like the regular season is dying thing has been around for a while and I don't see any reason this kills it. Games will still matter, people will still watch and there will be school fanbases complaining why they weren't the last couple seeds. It's football, people always find a way to be engaged with this

I echo much of this. I also like the expanded field for those teams that get hot at the end of the season and maybe had 2 losses so they just steamroll some much lesser squad in a bowl game or the opposite where they play uninspired in a lower bowl game. Now we'll get to see these teams potentially get to the ship.

For the lower seeds it could also help with potential recruiting to say they had a playoff appearance.

There have been multiple times when my favorite team has been the first team left out. I understand the feeling but that's what makes college football great. Every game matters.

Come on back home Trav. You’re more than welcome to return

Except it doesn’t when the committee just makes things up as they go. Every game mattered for TCU back in 14 when they were ranked top 3 going into the final week. Won that week and dropped to 6 because the committee said so. We all know if they were from Austin they would’ve made the Playoffs.

 

[casper90403]

Travis, you know the move. USC next season with the returning Heisman winner and then be a candidate yourself during your Junior year.

No brainer. I got $10k on it. nako xl ? tupac003 ?

Is Caleb Williams the most talented QB Lincoln has coached thus far?

 

[Bobby Layne]

I’m surprised they didn’t give Leonhard a look.

By a significant margin.

 

[witnesskb24]

I’m surprised they didn’t give Leonhard a look.

I’m surprised Coombs isn’t at least in the running there, they love him and he has history there.

Figured Hartline would be in the running too but I understand with him not having even coordinator level coaching experience it’s high risk

So your solve for an inherently biased system is not to try an innovate around it because it makes “every game matter”?

 

[dacomeup]

I’m surprised they didn’t give Leonhard a look.

That man does not want to be a college HC lol. Have it from good authority from my buddy who played under Chryst that he treats it like a 9 to 5 and goes home to his family. Chryst gave him a lot of flexibility. He’ll go to the pros.

 

[dacomeup]

Sounds like Colorado has a new coach. Not sure why he wants that job.

I don’t get it either if the rumors of him being offered better jobs were true.

I get it they were once a force but so were several other schools in the 90s/2000s that are awful now
