Whether we agree or not, the committee has always proclaimed they use the regular season to HELP determine who the best 4 teams are currently. That's always been their stated goal, to put the current best 4 teams in. I don't necessarily agree, but they've made that very clear.

Everyone acting outraged that the committee is corrupt hasn't been paying attention. They're not hiding anything. It's never been about "deserving" or "fair." Plenty of fans want that to be the goal of the committee, but they've been so abundantly clear that's never been their goal.

Thanks for clarifying that.

Which will continue with 12 teams. Someone will get left out with the same record as someone else.

you won’t have as much of an argument while sitting out with 2 losses.Before they invented these super conferences….. i always thought that every conference champion should go and play each other for the NC

Why did Campbell coach like Brandon Staley the whole game, every 4 th down go for it in Dallas Territory...

Final score was 20-19 Dallas..

If DETRIOT takes the FG in 1st half from Dallas 4 or 5 yard line add 3 points Final score 22-20 ... DETRIOT...

Second half would have played out differently.

All this talk about "fixing" CFB is rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. The issue is what it has been-- networks wanting to control the product to maximize viewership, revenue and egos. And "wanting" is really "demanding," since everybody in the trickle-down wants their money and will sell out for it.

It's the Hollywood model, with sports as entertainment, conferences as production companies, schools as show runners and players as content providers. Fans are the audience paying more and more for an increasingly diluted product.

So...in other words we should just check out because it's all🦬💩 and nothing is going to fix it.

Sounds about right....the only reason I watch sports at all anymore is my love of Tennessee...but if it is just pure 🦬💩...what is the point?

This crap hurts...hope all of the "change is awesome" are happy.

Yup, and if we are still this injured I don’t have high hopes. Home field would have been nice but none of it matters if we can’t stay healthy. We haven’t been the most injured team in the league this year but the injuries we’ve had have been back breakers. Too many really important players missing games.

They will try to "fix" it in ways that serve their own self-interests. Everyone is chasing the money-- except fans, who're on the other side of the bucket.

We are the ones that make the money possible...and we are the ones that truly get 🤬ed over.

You are right...it will just become a scripted reality show because it serves their interests...and the legions of blind fool fans will just keep on throwing money into the machine.

Alum are fans. Side chicks to the game.

It's the players and coaches that were told their success was meaningless. They were the ones disenfranchised.

They could keep their heads buried and danced like circus clowns for the cameras of ESPN and the committee. They hard passed. Respect. Eff em

They f'n quit on their fans...you would applaud that garbage...you don't hive a runny 💩 about fans.

@Freak

Is anyone else experiencing exceptionally slow load times for VN? This is the only site giving issues, and I've taken VPN out of the loop to verify that's not it.

No issues that I can see on our end. Might see if anyone else chimes in. Could be a connection issue between your isp and our server. Might try switching between wifi and 5G to see if that makes a difference. Of course, you can always try clearing browser cache, temp files and cookies.

2 guys opting out vs 9. It’s normal to have 2-3. Not nearly half your starters.

And I get it for WRs. Just not worth it. But 9 guys??

we have 9 opting out/transferring before the citrus bowl… Bowl games are going to mean something to different people
