watched them play Iowa State for their championship. At best I thought both teams were lackluster. Did you really think, "Hey! This is riveting football!"? Did they look like a team capable of winning a title?



Where the hell are you getting this?I said
a game between them and OSU wouldn't be a blowout and worth watching and you extrapolate I thought they'd win a title?
Wow.

BTW,have you figured out how 8 teams play 7 games yet? Hint: It's REALLY easy

Wut? You went on some crazy tangent about "learning from history!!!" in regards to your "blowout" predictions for future CFB playoffs. You should know sports is always evolving even with the runs of Bama and Clemson lately.

Did you think LSU was gonna have the year it did last year and blow out pretty much everyone they played? I didn't and there was certainly nothing they did in the last 7 years (apparently the new timeline for all of CFB history) to think they would.

would highly doubt there's one LV casino or offshore bookmaker that would agree with you.

What exactly did you base that on?


Betting sites and insiders put out hypothetical lins all the time and you seem to base everyone of your opinions/predictions of past results.It simply doesn't work that way.



One last time: Would UGA get "blown out' if they played Bama or Clemson in a hypothetical playoff scenario this year?

So you agree that if we expand the playoffs to include 8 teams you will be getting lop sided losses and teams that have no chance of winning a title? If you can see this and I can see this why would kids be unable to see this and play? Isn't that why they are opting out now? because they have no chance to win a title?

If anything...history teaches us that when #1 goes against #4 we get (typically) a blow out. Why on earth do you think we are magically going to get a good matchup if we go #1 against #8?



Yes. You can look at results that have happened in the past and expect similar results in the future.

The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Dude. I am not wanting to set playoff participators before the season starts. but at the end of the season you pretty much know what you are getting.

Okay. Then go find one with the hypothetical you mentioned and give us the line? It was your hypothetical. But you don't want me to counter with a hypothetical. kind of tying my hands so you can take a few shots, isn't it?


"I can make hypotheticals, but you can't!" doesn't quite seem fair does it?
