It’s a terrible product. It’s unwatchable. Until the tournament. Which is still terrible basketball, but it’s fun. Again, that is due to the incredible marketing job of the NCAA for that event. That lasts a whopping 6 weekends. Which is exactly what the more traditionalists of college football absolutely do not want. It should be a 4 month season, not a 4 week one.

---

It lasts 3 weekends..
Next time just say you don't like basketball. I bet you tune into regular season baseball games, when the tournament size is the exact same.

Name one memorable play or historical moment form the 12 team playoff era.

What does this have to do with anything? The only memorable play in the last 10 years was the Milroe play vs Michigan. Before that it was the end of one of the Clemson-Bama games

I completely disagree. Bowl games have historically been incredibly meaningful. Like the ‘01 and ‘06 LSU teams that won the Sugar Bowl. Those games were very meaningful, historically important, and put a stamp on 2 of the greatest seasons in LSU history. Those teams and players will forever be remembered. Now, nobody will care if you won the quarter or semi-final if you lose your last game. Those teams and players will be forgotten. And that’s a shame. And the bowl opt outs only became a thing with the expanded playoffs. Started with the 4 team, got worse with the expansion to 12, and will be even worse moving to 24. If they still even have bowl games after their contracts run out. But make no mistake, there will still be opt outs. They will just be during the regular season when star players just happen to have a 1-week flare up of some vague injury that doesn’t actually exist. Just wait until all the big rivalry games the last weekend of the regular season has a team—or both—sitting 7 starters to get ready for the playoffs because they’ve already secured their spot.

---

Ridiculous. Bowls are nothing more than a participation trophy and money grab.

quote:

No, it really hasn’t. And no, it really won’t. You are short term thinking again. Are you incapable of macro thinking or just being willfully ignorant?

---

It has. LSU wins the next two games, Alabama and Texas will be incredible atmospheres. 4 team playoff, their season is over. In fact, half the SEC would be out of a 4 team playoff race.

quote:

---

There’s the rub. We just have completely different perspectives. frick each and every 4-loss team fighting to get in. They don’t need to be anywhere near a playoff. How can you not see being able to lose 4 regular season games and still have a shot at winning the NC doesn’t drastically diminish the regular season? Not the cumulative, but each and every individual game? I can’t comprehend your incomprehension.

---

People thought Miami should not have been in. They almost won the national title. There are currently about 15 teams that could beat anyone else in college football. NIL and the portal has spread out the talent pool.


Stop living in the past

I'd imagine Dessert will start. Maybe even Clark

So in reality this isn't even the starting 5

C’mon, man They just lost to Kentucky

---

Again, this is old school thinking. Indiana beat Alabama by 35 last year.

Kentucky is favored on a neutral field over MSU, Auburn, and Arkansas for certain. Tennessee would probably be a pick em.

Outside of that you have Texas and Alabama and both are at home and have had their own issues

quote:

---

And by willingly giving Kentucky the ball down 3, LSU also willingly opened the door to a potential loss in regulation. Let's not forget that after punting, Kentucky ultimately had two passes at the end of regulation from inside LSU's 20 yard line. One was defended well by Cooley in the endzone. And on 3rd down, Kentucky very nearly gained a new first and 10 from LSU's 13 yard line with 12 seconds left and the clock stopped, but Kentucky's TE ran a route 1 yard shy of the first down marker when he fell out of bounds. This could have easily provided UK with 2 more shots to the end zone before kicking the FG for OT.

---

Something I don't see mentioned, is that if we went for it and did not convert, UK would have had it at the 43 with 1:40 left. We had two timeouts. They were not going to sit around and milk clock to rely on a kicker that just shanked two chip shots. Odds are they score a TD or we burn TO's and make them kick the FG with a fair amount of time left instead of 12 seconds and we have a chance to try to go down and get in FG range for the win

quote:

LSU lost to Kentucky…..Yes…..Kentucky. I don’t care if it was an away game or played on the damn moon.

---

This doesn't mean what you think it means in this ERA.

Indiana beat Alabama by 35 last year. Their program is historically worse than UK.

Outside of Georgia, there are 7 1-loss teams. After this weekend, it will be at least down to 5. If we take care of Mississippi State and OU (who is a 7 point favorite over UK) takes care of business, that number is down to 3.

2 of those 3, we play. Texas and Alabama/Tennessee.

The one thing I am am absolutely certain of, based on who we play and where the games are located, is that we will have an opportunity late in the game to win every game left on the schedule.

I just hope Kiffin takes from this, that he needs to be who we hired him to be. He broke character on the 4th and 1 and it bit him in the arse.

Still alot of football left to be played

Because the season is over once again and it’s not even Halloween

Season is not over.

Realistically they will have a chance to win the rest. I just don't see them doing it though.

8-4 most likely

Not to bust any bubbles, but Georgia was a pubic hair away from losing to Mark Stoops the last time they played at UK.

Its just difficult to win on the road in this league. And we have 3 starters out.

Take 2 of the top 5 players off any other team and see how well they fare

quote:

on their QB all night? Tou needed 1 yard to end the game and you were too scared? He's not who I thought he was. I'd take Stein and those massive balls over him right now, no questions asked.

---

If he were coaching against us at Ole Miss, he 100% would have gone for it.

He is better in the underdog role

I mean whether they win or lose, I still have go to work Monday morning.

Never really understood the folks that let a loss bother them.

I guess if you were trying to scalp some Texas or Alabama tickets you may be upset
