College Football Gameday Chatter

[Genghis Khan]

If I'm being real honest the only post season games that are actually worth watching are the playoff games. Every other bowl game have half the stars sitting out for the NFL. Want to watch Kaleb Johnson and Burden in the Missouri Iowa bowl game? Nope, they are sitting out.

At least players won't sit out if their team is in the playoffs. It makes the games more worth watching. 16 actually makes sense. Same number of rounds, you just do away with the bye weeks for shit teams like Boise State or Arizona State.

And I know, the argument is going to be, well less would leave off those shit teams out but who cares? Arizona State gave us an exciting bowl game. So will some 16 seed teams. And some top 4 teams will get their ass kicked.

Excellent points.

As much as I think Alabama would have gotten beaten this year at least if they are in they will play hard and put a decent product on the field. Other teams will be the same.

I rarely watch any of the bowl games. Also never watched the army/navy game so I never realized it was afforded its own week.

Multiple weeks off is nothing new, they did it fairly often for bowl games in the past. I think it's fine. Other factors were at play this year for why all the bye teams lost. I don't think that would happen every year.

But I'd be ok with it going to 16 if people are worried about byes. I don't think 8 is enough.

Agreed 100%.

8 games isn't enough.

There are 32 teams in the NFL and we have (had) a 12 team playoff there for how many years and nobody had a problem with it?

12 teams for the playoffs is perfect and the NCAA should neither reduce nor increase that number.

T-minus 26 minutes till kickoff!

Somewhere @Tony D is living it up.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Sweet, I didn't even realize the games were tonight and tomorrow.

 

[boozeman]

I think 12 is the perfect number but they'll probably go to 16 at some point.

Definitely.

Me neither.

I've got Notre Dame by 3

Penn State 23
Notre Dame 20

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Which one's more likely to beat Texas? I need to know who to root for.

Penn State is built better if you want that.

 

[Texas Ace]

Perfect call on the 2nd down by Penn State.

Is Singleton declaring?

 

[boozeman]

Yeah, I have to say I hate the ND helmets.

 

[Texas Ace]

Evans had no idea the ball was coming his way and the fact that he looked for that ball late is what I think kept it from being intercepted.

 

[Texas Ace]

Yeah, I have to say I hate the ND helmets.

Yup.

They look tacky.

As much as I don't like the helmets I hate the pants even more.

They had one of the best uniforms in all of sports and they went and fucked with it for no reason.

Go back to the classic gold.

Is Singleton declaring?

Not yet. He said he would make a decision after the season was over.

 

[Texas Ace]

Carter saw that coming a mile away.
