Still so many idiots claiming that Saban complained about the playoffs. Reading comprehension is at an all time low, it appears.

" Saban even went as far as to suggest that college football should go with strictly one system or the other, suggesting either reverting from the playoff system — which won’t happen any time soon, as ESPN has a 12-year contract worth $7.3 billion for the playoffs — or eliminating bowl games all together, which would in turn provide a lot fewer opportunities for college players to shine. "

that is complaining about the playoffs.

No.

It's complaining about having a dual system.

No the fact is saban looks like an idiot condemning the bcs for the CFP THEN saying he doesn't think it's right for the players. He also said his players dont need a trophy to be considered a good team. THINK! Do the loser of the playoff games receive anything fo er t their work all year. That is what this is about. Material crap and acknowledgement. Shame shame saban.

Expect the comprehension to be different if all your reading is twitterverse or finebaum (skewed ). Try picking up actual paper once in a while.

I couldn't decide which was worse, the sentence structure or the concept.

I read the transcript and watched the press conference.

It's not my understanding that's skewed.

Why not have an extended playoff to 8 teams and keep the bowl games


+1. Keep incorporating the bowl games into the playoffs.

BTW, Nick needs to STFU once in a while.

That's no way to talk about the Chairman of the Board.

Don't worry about it, Mizzou won't ever have to worry about a playoff game.
