I don't think you understand this at all.

It involves parity, fair scheduling, and the best way in all of sports of determining a legitimate champion, so I can definitely see why a Bama fan would hate it.
Plenty of leagues have parity and fair scheduling. Do you think this way never occurred to them? They don't do it because it is stupid

How does it make it stupid?
If each team gets a home game and each team wins 1 game, how would you decide the overall winner?

They used to do that.

Once you get to double digit replays it gets stupid.

And being that teams are in up to 4 different competitions at a single time, you cant just keep adding games indefinitely.

Seems like a bitch move. Never did like gimmick plays. In any sport.

Listening to the replay was funny; reinforced most all stereotypes.

No, just a 3rd game. You could call it a Championship.

Or you can just go to penalty kicks and have a definitive winner.

Wait wait

A Bama fan thinks that when two teams split 1-1 there should be a 3rd game to decide a legit champion

This keeps getting funnier

More heads up than anything.
It's the equivalent of knowing a defensive player is offsides in (American) football so you have a free play to throw a bomb.

Well one was regular season and one was the championship

But yeah I would've been totally fine with a 3rd game

A thread with "cheeky" in the title should be better than this.

More teams have made the final 4 of the CL than the CFB playoffs in the same amount of time

That’s not even mentioning the promotion/relegation systems involved

I’m sorry the Budweiser cans outside your trailer inhibited the reception on your antenna to watch the game.

Please come to Charleston for the next CFB final. I promise we will have reception to watch Bama get mercy kneed again in a national championship game.

This Liverpool Barca game will live in the lore of Pool fans for decades.

Also watched by probably 10x the amount of people that watched Clemson dismantle Bama.

Soccer is no longer a hipster game.
It’s mainstream now

Their final probably gets better ratings than the Stanley Cup WS and CWS
