I've made a spreadsheet that will have the entire 5K+ schedule for the college basketball season. Along with the schedule, I'll also be predicting every single game for every single day of action.
Be interesting what my record will be when it's all said and done😅 Come follow along!

It’s not like people are getting sick of college football and the ratings are going down this season by over 10% 😆😆
In all seriousness, the problem is that a 24 team playoff is a participation trophy. Ohio State would be comfortably in if this season had 24 teams.
This past Miami-ND came, would not have the same amount of intrigue. Just a fact. Also all these good faith takes will mean nothing when teams start resting their players against rivals
I genuinely don’t understand this mentality. Literally every other major sport has a playoff and people watch the regular season. Why is CFB the only sport where a late season playoff push by a 6-2 team considered poor TV?
@holl6948 I’m not gonna keep going back and forth. The whole conversation is about tradition and big names losing luster that’s all. I’m willing to be proven wrong, but the second a 7-5 SEC team gets in, that will be a problem
Mind you, I get all these points. There is some good. But all in all, I don’t like these big matchups being devalued. Western Michigan beating Michigan, now is kinda pointless in the grand scheme of things outside of just WMU being happy.
But also no, NIL is why. Indiana always had money. Still doesn’t change the point that these schools would be crushed in the playoffs. A day a #24 ranked beats #1 in the playoffs, I will fully eat my words
@Westbrook0_SZN That’s the point lol. Under a 24 team format, whoever lost that game would still be comfortably in. This past weekend, Notre dame HAD to win
TV fans have been begging for the return of long 16+ episode sitcom seasons for a decade, and FX actually listened
A 16-episode order for a modern cable show is practically unheard of, especially considering Adults was nearly canceled after Season 1 before Landgraf reshot the pilot
But now comes the real test:
Are audiences actually ready for the return of high-volume sitcoms, or will the internet immediately start crying about "filler episodes" the second the plot slows down?
24 teams can not win the title. Kentucky ain’t winning. Iowa ain’t winning. Yes, if a team is 8-4 or 7-5, they don’t deserve to be in there
I’m not entirely against 24, but a lot is being lost still and it’s going to take time for THEM to convince people even tho we know they don’t care about teh fans (they admitted to that too)
@NateRichard04@Scot8915@Sjameson65 I should’ve prefaced, I’m not entirely down on the 24 team, but I love tradition and want these regular season matchups to have more stakes. I also loved conf title games
