Honestly, 4 was fine. At most 8. 12 is too many.

2 is better.

Some revisionist memories in here


I must have flunked History 101 bc I don't remember anyone seriously shilling for Army last week. They had a good year & it's a feel good story. That's as far as it goes.

Edit: There was point in the season where they were undefeated & in contention for the automatic G5 bid but I don't think that's what we're talking about. At least I hope not.

Exactly.

The amount of nonstop "wineing" from updyke university puts Napa Valley to shame.

*If* Texas beats Georgia in the final, after losing to Georgia twice, and is declared Natl Champ, people are going to rightfully melt.

I'm a Texas grad and I will admit that.

Too many playoff teams, we've gone full retard chasing the dollar.

For the life of me I still don't understand why we went straight from 4 team to 12, without even discussing 8. The media was driving this from the get-go.

4 teams sucked. Not enough by a wide margin. I like 12. This is fun.

Alabama being in it doesn't change anything. It would just be another team that shouldn't be in the playoffs. Lost 3 games and playing for a national championship is stupid. Just like SMU losing 2 games and no ranked wins on their shitty schedule is. And Clemson losing 3 games on their shitty schedule with their only ranked win being SMU. And Boise St losing to the only good team they played and no ranked wins, and Indiana who also lost to the only good team they played and no ranked wins, and Texas who doesn't have a single ranked win either.

It's not the teams fault, it's the shitty playoff structure with 12 teams and AQ status. It's picking among a bunch of teams that shouldn't be there.

DEI playoffs.

The 12 team playoff rewards mediocrity.

This isn't about football anymore. People just want to be entertained with tournaments and brackets.

This could be done with dot races.

Or basketball. You probably love March.

There were serious issues with 2. Undefeated Auburn in 04 comes to mind, as much as I hate Tuberville.
