Go ahead and schedule your holiday festivities during the Dec. 19 3:30 & 7:30 windows, because ESPN is absolutely relegating the two most certain 1st Round blowouts to TNT

[CFP @CFBPlayoff]

Gus Johnson is an electric factory and FOX just keeps giving him NyQuil every week

[FOX College Football @CFBONFOX]

Primetime with @gusjohnson, @joelklatt and @JennyTaft 🤩

Big Noon Saturdays are almost here ⏳🔜🏈

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

@Jon_Blau You’re gonna kill it man

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

I’ve always said College Football has too many home games. We need more neutral site games between passionate fanbases played in corporate death chambers

[Tigerillustrated.com @TIinClemson]

Georgia, #Clemson 'in talks' to move home-and-home series to neutral site

This is objectively one of the most insanely lucky games I’ve ever seen from a quarterback. Mond was running in circles and chucking it. Every single throw in the last 20 minutes was impossible, and they were *all* caught

[All-In Tigers @AllInTigersSN]

Posting games till week one.
Day 4: September 8, 2018
#2 Clemson vs Texas A&M

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

@TigerNE_CU @dustinb429 Yeah Deshaun is the most gifted runner of all Dabo QB’s. Elusive, agile, super patient. Such a graceful runner; he would accelerate and you could barely tell bc he was just gliding

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

It’s been 12 years so gonna be some tweaks, but Dabo wants to run his 6’4” QB on 3rd & 2, and he doesn’t have to fight to convince Morris to do it

Keep some QB counter, more power & jet from Morris

Oh, and it’s all setting up PA shots.

[Dustin Black @dustinb429]

QB Rushing under Chad Morris
2011: Boyd 142att 218yds 5tds
2012: Boyd 186att 514yds 10tds
2013: Boyd 154att 400yds 10tds
2014: DW/Stoudt 132att 293yds 6tds

Not explosive (2.3ypc) but enough to where you have to prepare for it. I expect Vizzina to be in the 130-150 carry range.

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

@dustinb429 Cade had real speed but didn’t have the dog to take a linebacker in the gap head-on. DJ was huge but was also gonna lower his shoulder into you

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

@Parker_McBurner @Stitchhop Ah that’s true. Bama still needed the Miami loss at Pitt though

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

As we specifically told *you* it would, Expansion from 4 already diminished Rivalry Week. And I am forcing anyone who disagrees to read aloud Ohio State fans’ tweets at U-M fans about how they didn’t care they lost The Game because they won the 2024 Natty

[Chris Vannini @ChrisVannini]

The climax of college football, to me, is rivalry week, not the playoff. @ESPN_BillC lays out well why a 24-team CFP could take a hammer to that. https://t.co/hCQZbwmlHf

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

@Stitchhop 2022*, my bad. Also Miami lost *twice* to end the year; if they bounce back with a win in the ACC CG they’re probably in

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

@Stitchhop I’ve said this with 2021 Ohio State losing to Michigan and making it anyway: the margins were such that Alabama left that game mentally shattered, certain their season was over. They needed a lot of help to get in (#2 Miami & #4 Wisconsin losing)

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

@TulaneHype I never said otherwise

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

@Macbra2 You’re not familiar with this account, and that’s fine

[Bill Connelly @ESPN_BillC]

A 24-team CFP is the AI of CFB: We didn't ask for it, and we're told it's inevitable despite huge unknowns.

I wrote about the impact of expansion and ditching conference title games. We don't have to do this! Four rounds and Flex Weeks: the way forward.

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

@Macbra2 That’s right, the entire point of the post is that he wanted expansion to 12 to make the CFB postseason more like March Madness. He clapped as the boulder started rolling and doesn’t get to be upset that it’s not stopping

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

@JarrellChandle2 @adamdropsbombs

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

@TOL_Michigan No, this guy was consistently firing off specious wrong takes on the sport’s biggest impending issue. We told him for years he was wrong. There’s no reason to take anything regarding this issue he says seriously

[Conference Commandos @ConfCommandos]

@Clemson_Addict With you on 2018 Clemson not getting anywhere near the respect they deserve, it’s nonsense they’re always automatically put behind a 2019 LSU that has the worst D of any champ this century by a mile. 2016 Clemson is one of the worst champs though, Bama *that year* was prob better

[The Next Round @NextRoundLive]

What would it look like long term if there were a 24-team CFB Playoff?

*IF* the CFP had been 24 teams from the start in 2014, 80 different teams would've made an appearance over the last 12 seasons.
