OFFICIAL 2022-2023 COLLEGE FOOTBALL THREAD

[witnesskb24]

Oh, you're mad about something that's not going to happen in the CFP.

Got it.

I was comparing the regular seasons

Use what little bit of common sense you have

 

[witnesskb24]

This thread is gonna be mad when a 8-4 Florida gets in as a 12 seed over a 10-2 PAC6 team.

Jimbo licking his chops if 8-4 gets in

5 teams with losing records have made the NFL playoffs.

This has had a devastating effect on the popularity of the NFL.

Did I say the NFL? Or did I say pro sports?

Reading is fundamental

[swendro]

The NFL is a pro sport.

 

[Bobby Layne]

Notre Dame is never joining the B1G now

Them joining was never going to be because of access to the playoffs.

It’s only going to happen when the gap between what they are getting $$$ as a Indy and what they could get as a B1G gets too big.

 

[witnesskb24]

It is? The NFL is a pro sport? Damn learned something new

Crazy. I don’t recall saying that it hurt the popularity of the sport. I recall him talking about college football and me saying how I find pro sports regular seasons almost boring due to the fact there’s so many games (NBA/MLB) and you can make the playoffs (all pro sports) with a losing record. But keep going on explaining whatever point you’re trying to make

 

[DeadsetAce]

Bobby Layne have you heard if Cade or JJ is gonna start this year? i assume we'll see both from time to time but last i read and heard, sounded like Harbaugh hasn't committed to a starter yet. i wonder if the loser of that decision sticks around

What is the gap now? B1G teams will get $100MM each when it’s all said and done after bowl game revenue. I think ND is gonna get $70MM all in or something? My numbers are probably off but if the gap is $25MM-$30MM, surely that’s meaningful.

 

[tupac003]

So I'm assuming each conference winner, 1 group of five then wild cards from there?

I think those numbers are either close to or about right.

It’s meaningful but in their calculations they still think they can compete, and accomplish their goal of being a “national” program.

I think they’ll join but it’s going to be at the behest of the tv networks rather than something they want themselves.

 

[dacomeup]

The parity argument is definitely the best one too. Talent will be more spread out when you don’t just have to go to 1 of 3 or 4 schools to realistically have a shot at the dance.

 

[Bantz Lord T]

I think 12 is too many. 8 would’ve been perfect IMO

 

[noskey]

I think 12 is too many. 8 would’ve been perfect IMO

This but they gotta make sure to get 3 SEC teams in every year

 

[witnesskb24]

This. P5 champs and then at large teams.

It’s going to be interesting how all of this effects the conference realignment stuff going forward. The trash *** PAC might just stay alive now

 

[witnesskb24]

I’m curious how it’ll work if the 4 highest ranked conference champs get a bye where that would put ND.

Let’s say the conference winners are:

1. Bama
2. Oregon
3. Michigan
4. Clemson

But an undefeated Notre Dame finishes ranked 3rd. Do they still get that first round bye?

Holy **** this Western Michigan QB is a shrimp boi

Some on that side seem completely cool with it though. Guaranteed playoff spot without a conference title game and hosting a playoff game in South Bend

That’s not a bad deal after all with the revenue from the home game and they’ll be playing one fewer game than conference winners/losers by not having a CCG.

 

[DeadsetAce]

damn corner played that bad

 

[DeadsetAce]

Holy **** this Western Michigan QB is a shrimp boi

I just got it on here. need to see this

 

[DeadsetAce]

Holy **** this Western Michigan QB is a shrimp boi

That said he was 6’3” man! he looks skinny as **** tho

 

[D StaXX]

I'd be all over this Michigan State team if Payton Thorne was good

Still waiting on God to answer his prayers.
