@geoffjBYU Do they only play each other? Would that even be enough games? The abandoned big ten/sec teams would not schedule them. MAC/Sun Belt/ AAC probably would but no one is paying big bucks to watch that.
@ScottMGreer It used to be people got married or just generally aged out of leftwing politics but I don’t think that’s happening as much these days. Hopefully they just continue not bothering to vote.
@_consistent_man The “dark horse” teams if they exist at all will be like Ohio st or Oregon this year who are having bad seasons but if they get in the tournament they have the talent and could get hot or have some injury luck to go on a run. That is not very interesting.
I could be wrong! But man, the 24-team CFP *feels* like a step towards college football 'enshittification' that will be hard to walk back.
Almost nobody *really* wants it. Benefits don't pass to consumers. Eventually, schools won't even really enjoy them. And for what?
@NBNRPodcast LSU has more money and a local recruiting footprint that turns out draft picks every year. Him underachieving at LSU would inevitably lead to underachieving at Nebraska.
@B_Vinton1@TroyDannen There’s still plenty of wealthy people in their 40-50s that remember winning but what will it be like in 20 years when 2016-2026 grads are supposed to be those fans but never had a reason to go to games or care at all about football?
@AlbertBreer Every election cycle It’s always just one more tax for schools, if you give us more money we pinky promise to not ask again. Taxpayers have had enough of being abused by administrators and teachers unions who hide their graft behind “it’s for the kids!”
@huskernate_ There are legit structural/safety issues with south stadium. The project should have been done like ten years ago, keep putting it off and costs only go up.
@BudElliott3 Is the schedule that hard this year? This is the worst Oregon team in years, UW and Illinois have significantly underperformed expectations. The only wins have been against awful teams.
