re: Is College Football In A Death Spiral?

What made college football great to begin with? The pageantry. Now, because every game is on TV and there has been a push to make money on every facet of the game day experience, it has gotten stale.

Also, the offenses. We have determined that if a team gets pushed or gets beat by a non-P5 opponent that they must suck and aren’t worth watching. That in turn leaves what we perceive as very few teams worth watching. It may be that teams are more prone to upsets and we need to change our perception of “everybody sucks.” The game is just different than it was 15 years ago, almost a different sport. I watched Northwestern State slice and dice LSU’s defense down the field for 2 drives last night which would have never happened 10 years ago, no matter how many flaws we had in our scheme or whatever. Quarterbacks are better out of high school and all it takes is one getting hot (no matter their race).
