Actually real news

Between mass opt outs becoming the new normal and now major programs turning down bowl invites, will the non playoff bowls make it?

And everyone was mad at Saban when he called this years ago. College football is done. Alabama shouldn’t be in it. The product is tanking because it’s eating itself.

This is what happens when you have a system of no accountability. Don’t expect it or get pissed when it happens if people aren’t willing to fix it and hold everyone accountable

Didn't play in a conference championship game. No surprise. Didn't play in bowl games for the longest time. They're going back to their roots.

Imagining whole teams opting out and it's not even Covid time.

What a bunch of pussies.

The Dame could get rid of Rice and Wisconsin next year and have 8 ACC conference games, keeping their MSU and USC games. Make it to a title game and get in if need be.

frick em.

Damn! This is wild.

You'd have to be pouting pretty fricking hard to turn down 3 extra weeks of practices. Practices are gold to football coaches.

I agree completely. If they were going to do a playoff at all it should’ve stopped at 4. It just doesn’t work with so many different conferences, schedule strength, and alignment. It will have to implode completely to be fixed. We aren’t there quite yet.

Notre Dame declined all bowl invites until they started counting for national championships in the 1960s.

They are basically back to being exhibition games.
