Yesterdays games and todays noon game

[VolFaninFla]

Florida-Tulane
Notre Dame-Indiana
Penn State-SMU
I was looking forward to some good CFB but these three games have all been pretty boring.
I muted the game today and ended up watching videos of people washing rugs. That, I found interesting.
I hope Texas-Clemson is better.

I know I watched that game last night and I know Indiana got trounced.

I would struggle to even describe one play or event from the game outside of the first play 98 yard run.

Agree-boring

I switched to NDSU/SDSU because of the Penn St. blowout. It at least was a competitive game. The last two days have been some pretty below average football.

So far, I’m glad there aren’t 16 teams in the playoffs.

This is what happens when you match teams with big talent gulfs between them and give the more talented team 2-3 weeks to prep.

Anyone who looked at the whole playoff thing realistically knew it was going to be like this - a lot of blowouts and the 3-4 teams that might have a chance in at the end. This is not, and is never going to be March Madness, and the more teams they add the more blowouts we'll see.

As long as people watch the powers that be won't give a schiit.

It's not the playoff size, it's the format of byes for Boise/ASU and selecting teams that proved absolutely they couldn't compete with playoff level teams during the season. 12 teams is too few to have so many of those type of teams in the field. Next year, if a team didn't beat anyone ranked in the final playoff top 25 it should be an auto-disqualifier.

The auto byes were asinine, but adding teams is only going to increase the number of ugly blowouts. The only thing adding more teams would accomplish is getting more SEC teams that might actually pull off an upset into the playoff. Other than that, it's just more teams that don't belong.

I think the auto byes were one of the stipulations that got this thing in place. If the SEC and Big 10 hadn’t agreed to all this stuff, this playoff wouldn’t have happened. Fortunately it’s just for 2024 and 2025. Don’t know if any changes can be made for 2025 or not. I’m guessing there will be some discussion though.

If they can watch what has gone on this week and will go on next week and not make a change, it is conclusive evidence (if we really needed it) that there is an agenda in place and what is good for the sport means nothing to these clowns.
