Why would Notre Dame or Utah play their starting QB another down the rest of this year (if we were in 24 team posture)?
You think not playing your qb for 2 months helps a team win a championship?

Look, this expansion is dumb but your comment is right up there too.
With the elimination of the championship game, there will be very few instances when teams will afford to rest their starters.

The entire goal will be being the healthiest team in December when everyone else is worn out and injured.
"Welcome to Death Valley. Tonight LSU takes on Alabama. We will see what Landon Clark has as he gets the call with Sam Leavitt sitting out as part of Lane's load management plan to be ready for December."
I know it's a bad example since LSU already had 2 losses, but my decreasing interest in college football has limited my knowledge of backup QBs outside of LSU.

When they went from 4 to 12 I thought why not 4 to 8 teams instead. Now I’m thinking why the big jump from 12 to 24? Why not just go to 16 first and see what that looks like?

Sankey is either wholly incompetent or intentionally sabotaging the conference.
It’s definitely incompetence. He’s chasing the worst decision a conference commissioner may have ever made by going to a 9-game SEC schedule and getting nothing in return with another terrible decision to try to cover up the 1st.
He didn’t even want to go to the 12-team expansion without a 4 SEC team guarantee. Now we’re at 24, and we’ll have to see the format, but I doubt he even got the 4-team guarantee with this deal. Obviously, the SEC will have more than 4 teams in it every year regardless of the format—I hope—and it may work itself out, but he’s been exposed as having zero power nationally regarding CFB. He’s got to go.

Not only does she have a job, she has an autobiography coming out. What publisher actually invested money in Heather Dinich? Nobody outside her family and some beta sports reporters like Stewart Mandel will actually buy the thing.
Someone on TD I believe it was before the Clemson game said they were at their gate to get on the plane and randomly she stands up and says “yes I’m heather dinich and you’re welcome to come talks football with me” to the people waiting on the plane.
Very self absorbed

That moron also wants to have some sort of luxury tax on teams that pay more in NIL for SEC teams.
Talk about putting your league at a disadvantage. Dude is a complete moron.

Really? I just named 2 very real instances right off the top of my head that seem very plausible although I may have been a little dramatic since it is still only week 10.
Notre Dames remaining schedule is
Boston College
SMU
@ Syracuse
They ain’t losing 2 more, starting QB or not, so you might as well write them in with 24 teams.

Now the NCAA needs to totally reconstruct itself to mirror the mid to late 90’s era of CFB.
12 ten team regional conferences.
9 game conference schedule.
12 auto bids.
12 at large.
Equal CFP rev share and its broadcast on all properties as a joint TV deal. NBC, ABC, Fox and ESPN can all televise games. Distribution ran similar to March Madness.
I k ow it will never happen, but it’s best for the health of the game in this new era.

The CFP has officially released what the 24-team playoff will look like. The G6 better start looking for their own playoff because this is absolutely devastating for them:

I doubt it will ever happen, but why are we just assuming army or navy will never make a 24 team field? It’s not inconceivable. Both teams have had good teams in the past

I would say vote with your dollars and eyeballs, but we won't
So basically ABC / ESPN gets the juicy college football rights and Fox and CBS " settle" for the NFL and Big 10 regular season with TNT / TBS purchasing early playoff game rights from ESPN.....leaving NBC the odd man out with the shittie Big 10 games on Saturday nights and Notre Dame home games.

Beginning next year, P4 teams are required to play at least 10 games against other P4 teams/Notre Dame. Indiana going to have to do some on the fly scheduling.

quote:No coach is going to risk a game because "we will most likely win it anyway." Come on man. When Georgia was playing Charleston Southern late in the season a couple of weeks before the SECCG, they played their starters.

On top of that, seeding matters. The data on the BYE week in CFP is still early. Right now people are saying you don't want the BYE week, but you have to keep in mind that that first year they introduced the BYE they gave it to conference winners, and most of them were underdogs in those games. So that's skewing the data.
You'll have years when the Georgias or Ohio St of the world are undefeated going into their last game and can afford to lose and keep a high seed. That's going to be an exception, not the norm

I like the idea. Bowl games have went stale with players opting out. Now we will have competitive games for a few weeks

We've seen the future this year. Talent is spread. Depth is shallow. With everyone playing 10 P4 games there will be losses. And if everyone has 1or 2 losses, then you have a one game cushion. Which is what we've always had. The change is "I can only afford to lose one game" to "I can only afford to lose one more game."
In return we've lost meaningless championship games and meaningless bowls. I don't think this is the armegeddon some think. I reserve judgement for now.

With NIL money being spent this was inevitable
All these schools spending 20 or 30 or 40 million feel entitled to get into a playoff
All this does is make a playoff appearance on its own nothing special. If a Bama or Ohio St team goes 8-4 for five straight years and go 0-5 playing nothing but road playoff games, they're still gonna fire the coach and all the money is still going to be considered a waste.
The reverse will also be true, if a team goes 11-1 every year and continuously gets top 8 seed byes, if they keep getting upset at home in their playoff games every year that's going to put coaches on hot seats as well. It's all going to be about postseason success and suddenly beating your rivals, winning your conference and having great regular seasons is going to be moot if they're playoff chokers, and then programs are going to prefer guys that go 9-3 every year so long as they can win playoff games.

Disney/ESPN are as responsible as anyone for the demise of college sports and football in particular.
They could care less about the quality of the product, tradition or legitimacy They simply want their money and that is why football is garbage now.
Look at how they are pushing this BS "Save College Sports Act" garbage. It is a way for them to get even more money and continue ruining the sports.
