the cfb regular season is still fun enough on a week to week basis, although eventually teams will probably stop treating every week as do or die if they realize they can get into a large playoff field with a loss or two. more so than they already have
but these playoffs are a complete disjointed joke. there's like two and three weeks between games. the ncg feels like an exhibition at this point |

Date: January 14th, 2026 2:37 PM Author: fully online and responsive Teams need to be grouped into "conferences" of 10 teams MAX and each winner makes the playoff. Plus some at large teams. Getting rid of mega conferences and faggot conference championship games is 180 imo. And every playoff game should be in the higher seed's stadium then have the title game at the rose bowl on jan 1st

Date: January 14th, 2026 2:59 PM Author: Darnell oh yeah? the miami team that lost to smu and louisville? shouldn't have sniffed the playoff
do you live in a world with time machines where future unknown results can change decisions made in the past?
none of miami, tamu, bama, oklahoma belonged. obviously jmu and tulane are just there to avoid an antitrust lawsuit.
maybe you could argue it should be a 6 team playoff and oregon and ole miss should be included. but they had their chances in the regular season and failed.
a four team playoff with iu, osu, uga, and ttu would have been perfect
edit: even a bcs championship of iu-uga would be preferable |
|
Date: January 14th, 2026 3:00 PM Author: richard clock sec teams jack each other off all year, it turns out the entire conference is garbage this year. expanded playoff was needed to snuff out the espn fraud definitively
iu-osu already happened, no way bcs runs that back |
|
Date: January 14th, 2026 3:02 PM Author: Darnell i agree sec teams jack each other off but the real solution to proving they're fraud is the 9 game conference schedule, not an expanded playoff (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5821971&forum_id=2Reputation#49589217) |

next season is probably the season i just don't watch. i wonder how many viewers are like me. |
