@TulaneHype@PDawg206@BiggerTen No. There is no top end in 24 team playoff land. Being “in the hunt for the playoffs” does NOt qualify as being at the top end of the sport.
The best teams really don’t need to try very hard to make the CFP in that world. There are almost no regular season games with high stakes
@TulaneHype@PDawg206@BiggerTen Most College Football fans care about their team, and then whatever’s happening at the top end of the sport (big matchups between top ranked teams). The second half becomes irrelevant in the world of a 24 team playoff.
@ClayTravis The raiders are quite shocking to me.
I’d like to see Mendoza, and I’d think the league would want to feature him at some point in the season.
@TheHerdBros The 2023 Mich vs OSU game is the reason you are wrong.
In that game, the winner:
1-made the playoff
2-advanced to the Big 10 championship
3-beat their rival
Those types of (regular season) games won’t ever happen with 24 teams (let alone 12).
