That's not a persuasive way to win people over to your line of thinking.

Eventually, inevitably, but it will be rare. As other posters have correctly pointed out, doing so would require extremely poor judgement and decision making.
This means the situation is somewhat self-remediated by the dumb-frick-bias, which means: the only people dumb enough to do this are also the ones most likely to do it in an indiscreet fashion and get busted for it.

re: Tell Us a story about why you LOATHE the NCAA
Posted by Woodreaux on 7/3/21 at 3:19 pm
Here's one.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NCAA_v._Board_of_Regents_of_the_University_of_Oklahoma
TL;DR:
Schools wanted to make money from games on TV, and setup their arrangements to do so.
NCAA said "NO! Y'all are prohibited from that this course of action. We run this shite!".
UGA and OU said "Please, we ask that you reconsider."
NCAA said "NO, BITCH!".
UGA and OU sincerely said "frick YOU!!!!" and took the NCAA to court, where the pig-frickers' illegal monopoly of football on TV was destroyed once for all.
And then America got to bask in the glory of College Football, all Saturday long, happily ever after.

They're not seriously interested in contending on a national stage. Example: If winning championships was important to USC, why didn't they hire Urban Meyer when he was available? They, like other programs, have other priorities that detract from what is available for football, like making money (as opposed to spending money on football).
Besides, money only goes so far. Look at Texas A&M. They claim to have more resources than Fort Knox, but we all know damned well, they, just like Georgia, ain't winning shite in our lifetimes.

Top-10 Non-Conference games in September.
The regular season has a job that it has not been doing worth a shite: eliminating undefeated teams before season's end.
If multiple P5 champs are finishing undefeated or with only 1 loss, then we have a problem with the regular season. Fix that ( grow it, add dynamic scheduling, mid-season perfect record ruining invitational tournaments ) first, then once the ratings of the regular season improve then consider revising the post-season.

Playoff Expansion will benefit a handful a individuals who are recognized as having facilitated the expansion. Their individual careers will gain a big administrative coup they can show the next board of investors they want to squeeze.
People will suffer from the expansion are those who enjoy watching good non-conference games in September.
What kind of fricking retard would sacrifice the quality of one third of the season just gain 2 weeks of blowouts in January? That's the trade we'd get.
The 1980 and 1990's Bowl season cluster-fricks were better than what this would become. Splitting the titles IS worth it if that's the only way we keep good football games played.

People who complain that it cheapens the regular season seem to think placing more importance on the end of the season is a bad thing.
Because it is a bad thing when that reduces the quantity of high quality football.
Why restrict good out of conference games to the playoff (a consequence of the proposal) when we can keep the current setup which includes good out of conference games in both the playoffs and regular season?

I posted at least once that he achieved a high level of obesity and I was kind of looking forward to telling more fat jokes about him, especially because he's at Ole Piss. Now he goes takes that away from us.
Seriously, good on him for getting that under control.

re: Playoff to be Expanded to 12 teams by 2023
Posted by Woodreaux on 6/12/21 at 9:10 am
This would be a huge mistake. It would get a bunch of currently discouraged fanbases engaged again for a few years; but by the time they realized they still had no chance challenging regular inter-conference games will have already become taboo as they threaten teams' pristine resumes.
With a bracket that big, no undefeated Power-5 conference champ is getting rejected, ever. So, why should they bother with quality schedules for the regular season? It will stop happening. The networks that are happy to bring us quality inter conference match ups during the regular season (that they know will attract viewers) won't be as excited to show us P5 teams steam rolling the Blind Sisters of the Poor PreFlight Academy. That means less football on TV over the long haul.
All for what? So that a bunch of borderline pretenders can exposed in January instead of September. How is this better?

re: Since Playoff is likely to expand to 12 teams does LSU need to beef up its non-conference?
Posted by Woodreaux on 6/11/21 at 10:43 pm
Expansion is NOT likely and no credible source is providing any indications it is. Please stop shoveling this horse shite.
