At least half of y’all would still watch and support this trash.

many a coach were fired or retired under that new landscape, most notably Les Miles - LSU was making bowl games and churning out NFL draft picks but they fired him because the litmus test of success as a big-time college head coach had changed
This is not true

Except for the allure of longstanding rivalries.... which the TV folks and NCAA don't really give a shite about.. there is very little reason to have football conferences. Sad truth.

Basketball... almost no reason at this point with the expansion to damn near anyone that can win 14 games or so.

Baseball... absolutely need conferences for seeding to the national tournament. They will no doubt figure out how to frick this beautiful tournament up and negate the need for conferences.

How many times have we had teams go undefeated and they either didn’t get invited or were completely left out?


I mean if you didn’t get in you probably didn’t deserve it

That’s my point - who decides who is deserving? It’s just opinion. The SEC got 5 teams in the playoffs and didn’t have 1 make the Natty. That shows the entire opinion was wrong that the SEC was the strongest. They clearly weren’t. So if the BIG gets 6 teams in this year based on opinion you guys will be fine with that?

All I want is fairness for everyone whether it’s Vanderbilt, Wake Forest, or Purdue. But before a game is played we’ll already have an opinion poll telling us that this group of teams is better than that group. Look at last year - we were told Bama was good based on opinion and FSU was bad. And then they played and FSU proved to be a team yet Bama remained ranked ahead of them all year. Bama played a very weak schedule and had 1 good win all year. All those wins proved to be against just mediocre teams even thought e opinion polls had them ranked.
