@simpleunis It’s kinda wild. It’s not like it’s not got precedent. Bill Wilhelm would occasionally bring them out on the road. I can’t speak to it because that’s not my era but it’s been mentioned about the “smoke greys”
@claypanzeri Honestly, yall would have the coldest unis in the game if you just put helmet logos on both sides of your helmet like the Ryan Dinwiddie days. But that one sided logo thing drives me nuts
@ryan_kantor To a degree, i could get down with that. I hope that whatever happens in this bill allows for conference contraction. That would help no matter what
This only convinces me that 24 teams is the solution.
Gatekeeping for the sake of feels got shot dead 2014 and 2024.
The second an under seeded team has success this argument is, once again, pointless.
Jim Phillips says, “If you have teams who can win a National Championship who aren’t invited (to the CFP)… you don’t have the right format.”
No.
1) The regular season is supposed to matter and talented rosters shouldn’t start the season with a CFP guarantee.
2) The problem with the CFP isn’t the format, it’s the selection process.
Florida State got screwed, yes, but the answer wasn’t expanding. It was simply choosing the undefeated team over the one that lost by double digits at home.
BYU got screwed, yes, but the answer isn’t expanding to 24. It was simply choosing the team who had 11 wins and didn’t lose by 14 points to a 5-7 team.
Texas getting left out of last year’s CFP, even if they could’ve won the title, is a GOOD THING. It’s supposed to be hard. Losing to 4-8 Florida is supposed to matter.
@ryan_kantor Not at all. 2 totally different sports. Pro sports have defined metrics. Win the division, have the best record within the top half of the league…you’re in.
College is an ocean of school, with no consistent metrics. Yeah, bad teams might make it in. But others can hold up
@ryan_kantor Yeah but again, it becomes harder to defend limiting a field if say a 14 seed makes a run to a final 4. How might that have changed past years champions?
The regular season still matters, very much so if you get rid of conference title games. It just a different context.
