@J2sHeadband@clawrence The winner of The Game won 8/10 Big Ten championships in the 4 team era. Conference championships used to matter. The 2006 game was effectively a national semifinal and the Big Ten Championship Game.
But yeah it’s never been for all the marbles
Every game is meaningless to you
@SportyMcSports@ATLFootballTalk So you just called The Game meaningless. One of if not the biggest and most watched games of a college football season.
The only thing here that’s meaningless is your argument.
@TulaneHype@BrooksAustinBA Your coach left for a 5-7 SEC team and took 2 players with him. They’re ranked 8 now and beat the team that took you out by 24. That’s the talent gap between Tulane and Florida. Tulane isn’t playing for the natty unless we revert back to the BCS era.
@ByuSome Actually that would’ve been the Big Ten Championship game, winner plays UGA in the natty. This 1v2 or 2v3 happened several times in CCGs in the BCS era.
Bama’s season would’ve ended with the OU loss and TTU would’ve been correctly punished for not playing P4 OOC by not making it
@TulaneHype@BrooksAustinBA The point of a playoff is to crown a champion. There is 0 chance of Tulane winning one in the current state of CFB.
You’re rooting to end your season getting splattered all over Oxford instead of winning some cool bowl game.
@SeaBVue@BrooksAustinBA Evals at a premium bc those dudes aren’t spending 2 years developing. You’re bringing in starters. You miss, you’re screwed. W/ free portal, a bad coordinator hire can ruin a program not just a season
@zach_barnett I think they had circled this week as going to USC until Oregon lost and the backup plan was going to Athens, but OU sucks.
They don’t want to do Starkville bc that’s where they have circled for next week, which frees them up to go to PSU for whiteout in week 6 instead of Bama.
@JoshPateCFB Underrated: Louisville, Utah, Florida and Mississippi State
Overrated: USC is a fringe top 25, Oregon and A&M shouldn’t be ranked. BYU at 9 is based on what exactly?
@RedditCFB Can they integrate some AI into the voting process for a sanity check? Like a hey, before you confirm your vote for USC in the top 10, please note that UMass and BC beat Rutgers just as bad if not worse. Or Bama beat UK by 28, are you sure they should be ranked together?
TTU’s stadium is a visual of everything wrong with college football rn. New naming rights taking the original name away, downgraded logo from the traditional, brand names all over the place and a billionaire’s name on the field instead of a great coach.
@DARTH_DUCK_9@The_Bizness22 Many ways:
Lamar is 7-2 against Burrow.
Burrow was a 100 yard scoop and score away from losing to Lamar’s backup with no WRs (historically bad WRs) in a playoff game.
Tons of respect for Burrow. He’s a dude who takes hit after hit and gets up, but he’s not the top 3.
@YahooSports The NCAA declared Trinidad Chambliss ineligible to play for Ole Miss this year...
Time for USMNT to find a judge with a clear rooting interest to issue an injunction like we do in college sports
@bumbadum14 Neither can articulate the underlying issue, an accountability crisis.
Affordability is hampered by higher taxes and inflated goods by a bloated welfare state.
The culture trains people against taking responsibility for their actions.
Children are the ultimate responsibility.
The Dodgers have given up over $2.25 Billion in contracts over the last 3 off seasons.
That is more than the TOTAL value of 17 MLB franchises.
Including the team they just beat in the World Series.
This sport is broken.
