Hopefully the universities will be smart enough to have impartial trainers/doctors employed by the various conferences in attendance to make sure nothing like that can happen. We need safeguards in place to keep the players in line so the fans can get what they want from them.

You start terrible threads all over the board but you are correct here. Everything good about college football is gone.

The AQs are the problem.
I think most would be excited about a CFB playoff of 12+.
But, the Group of whatever don't deserve shite.
Bring back the BCS formula and put the top 12 or how many ever it eventually moves to in.

Either way, he generally sucks.

Are you stupid or something?
A team that plays 16 or 17 games, the last 3 or 4 not against stiffs, and is the last team standing.....They're the Champions, PERIOD. All the other teams had their chance and lost.

Look at it this way. If the champion was just voted on as was done until 1998, would that be more or less watered down? A 12 team playoff is much less watered down than a 4 or 2 or 0 team playoff, 16 or 32 would be even better. As in all other sports, the objective is to crown the best team at the end of the season as the Champion.

They will be a lot more legitimate than most of Alabamas claimed titles.

I get that, but there are always ways to get around them. Even trainers and doctors depend on an athlete to tell them how bad their pain is...and everybody has a different pain tolerance. The first time a doctor/trainer tells a kid he has to play and the kid goes down with a career ending injury there will be lawsuits. Imagine being projected a 1st round pick and going down with a career ending injury...or even an ACL like Metchie or Williams with Alabama did. Their draft stock drops from 1st round to 3rd or 4th round and they will want compensation.

I mean, I agree with you, but I liked 4 teams. If they had to expand I could have lived with 6. But 12 is too many. We have too many blowouts with a 4 team playoff. Imagine what we will have with 12?
Yes, we will have some intriguing match ups in name only. But when the blowouts pile up people will tire of 12 fairly quickly. (My opinion)

Watered down? It’s gonna be the opposite you moron…

You're not wrong. And, like injuries in an OOC, needless FCS opponent game, it will impact the result of future games.
Could have capped things at 6 or 8.
Bcs was generally always right for a good game. It's just a dumb setup now.

No offense, but i don't think many on here are understanding what he means by "watered down". We have a ton of blow outs right now. They will only increase if you add teams. If the objective of crowing the best team as champion is the aim (And i agree that should be the aim) then adding weaker teams with a possibility of upsetting stronger teams is not the way to get it. Go through the history of the playoff system and see how many 2+ TD games there have been. Even 3+ TD and 4+TD games. Adding weaker teams to the mix will only increase those.

This will be true for just about every team that claim national titles from before 1992. We can't help it that we were just in the right place at the right time more times than any other team.
Also...you might want to do some research on your 1970 national championship claim before you start attacking ours. Losing by two touchdowns in your bowl game against #6 Notre Dame after claiming the UPI national championship while Nebraska finished unbeaten and #1 in the AP poll doesn't give you a lot of room to speak on this subject.

I honestly feel any championship before top two teams played is crap. In the future, I surmise most will disregard many of the championships that didn’t include a playoff.

This is what I wish this board was more like. Good, solid, interesting topics with an occasional troll to spice things up....but the trolls have taken over the board and we MIGHT get good conversation....sometimes.

Perhaps structure their “contracts” to pay per game on a sliding scale. OOC games don’t pay much, but conference championship games might be 10x of an easy OOC game.

Exactly this. Gumps are HAS BEENS and know it. What a ridiculous thread
Posted on 7/21/24 at 12:48 pm to DawgsLife
To me, "watered down" means that the championship means less. And to me, the more subjective it is, the less meaning it has. Playing the games gives it meaning. Granted, more games mean more blowouts. But more games also mean the right teams are advancing on the field instead of on coaches' and sportswriters' computers. I'd like to see a 16 or 32 team playoff like the Division I-AA Championship Series.
