As far as I know nobody has opted out of a regular season game at all, so I'm not sure what your point is?



Sure they have (Nick Bosa opted out after half the season) and the logical conclusion to opting out for "meaningless"bowl games is to opt out for "meaningless" reg season games like the Vandy game this year.Its only a matter of time.

That is exactly the point. Once the #5, #6, #7 and #8 teams get beat regularly by 40 points +


Here we go again.JUst astounds me that you don't realize CFB and sports isn't a snapshot of the past 6 years and many teams who didn't make the top 4 were certainly more capable than those selected
but for whatever reasons (injuries,early season upsets) didn't make it.

BTW,there were LOTS of mismatches in the BCS championship games. I listed those earlier

Okay,for the FOURTH time, do you think Georgia is now capable of playing with Bama or Clemson now and would it be game worth seeing in a hypothetical playoff scenerio.

Well, yes, but he did so after a huge injury. And I wouldn't stay we need to overhaul our entire football season based upon that.

Seriously? It certainly gives us a clear pattern. 6 of the lat 7 years? You don't think that is an indication of something to be expected?

Based upon what? Based on the fact that the teams who were ranked above them got blown out? So obviously you think we should get worse teams into the playoffs? makes perfect sense.

I have no idea. I know that Alabama kicked our teeth in the first time we played. We can say we would make it a better game, but honestly nobody knows. You seem to want the playoffs extended based upon this season. If we extend them , then people will be arguing the teams that were left out could do better if they are given a chance.

ETA
No. 4 Notre Dame is a 20-point underdog to Alabama, one of the biggest underdogs this bowl season.

I don't know why you keep talking about the BCS. Is somebody wanting the BCS to come back?
