College football is ruined

Well, nobody really cares about Auburn. We are going to have a great year.

You're not wrong. We have 2 choices. Embrace it or find other interests in the fall.

I do miss the old system and nyd bowls but it won't stop me from watching.

South Carolina doesn't play Georgia, Florida, or Tennessee. Yet we play Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M. Makes absolutely no sense.

Oh Stfu. I'm sick all you effin crybabies saying CFB is dead.

Just stfu and watch golf or something. I remember old timers in the late 90s telling me it was dead because it's changed so much.

For crying out loud. It's not dead at all and the playoff system will bring new excitement to the sport from casual fan's perspectives. It's just evolving like everything else. Deal with it losers.

Vols are about to run this fricking thing.

Its just so weird looking at Auburn's schedule and not seeing LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State.

I can't imagine what you're going through...wait...yes I can...we experienced the same thing over 30 years ago. Between 1956 and 1991, Tennessee played Ole Miss 34 times. The only years they didn't play during that stretch were: 1970 & 1971. Since 1991, they have played 8 times.

By comparison...since 1991, Auburn and Ole Miss have played...you guessed it, 34 times. Before that...they had only played 15 times since the inception of the SEC in 1932.

Auburn is losing their annual matchup with LSU...a team they played a total of 17 times between 1934 and 1991.

The only "real" long-term rivalry that Auburn is losing is Mississippi State.

Heck...let's talk about Auburn vs Tennessee. Between 1956 and 1991, Tennessee and Auburn played every season (36 consecutive seasons). Since 1991, they have played 11 times.

So...yes, things will change. But we were able to deal with it in the expansion of 1992...and again with the expansion of 2012. We will deal with it again.

I wouldnt be surprised if in 10-15 years the ncaa is gone and cfb has a commissioner and a salary cap.

Coach Kalen DeBoer and Coach Nate Oats are both at the top of their game and have that NIL and portal savvy that it takes to prosper under new management.

These men are prepared for constant bidding wars and getting 2nd and 3rd teamers to return for even more future glory. Instead of just getting ready for the battle these men will be able to spend their precious time convincing these young accountants, over and over, why they really don't want to go where they think they want to go.

At BAMA our mantra is simple: "The Grass Is Always Greener Over Someone else's Septic Tank," Print the shirts, and all contributions are welcomed.

I don't care about schedules/rivalries changing, but I do care about mercenary players and pay-for-play.

Unless and until they fix that I'll continue watching Florida play and not much else.

I think the good ol days of college football are in the rear view mirror.

With the exception of Alabama and Texas on the schedule and the lack of SC and Vandy UGAs schedule looks a lot like it did most years before SEC Expansion. UGA did not play Alabama or Tennessee very often and still don't play Alabama often during the regular season. UGA s schedule is tough but only marginally tougher than normal (last season not withstanding). Historically the difference is Texas in Austin....otherwise it is a pretty typical schedule for UGA....playing Clemson early in the year was, once upon a time, a pretty common occurrence. Traditionally we played UK, UF, Vandy and Auburn every year anyway. We used to usually play one of the Mississippi schools pretty regularly (I don't remember ever playing them both in the same year but it probably happened) and one of Alabama, Tennessee and LSU. UGAs schedule is about what it was pre-expansion and divisions.

College sports are dead as we knew them.

They might still live on as something entertaining. But it's never going to be what it was
