Man vs Model Podcast

The only podcast in the multiverse that pits humans against machines in a pre-apocalyptic college football predictioneering battle royale to the death.

@NoCoastJake @Caseysplatts This is so true. Worst animal on earth besides maybe those one wasps who lay their eggs inside caterpillars and their young eat their way out. #natureismetal

@colecubelic This was easily the best season since 2007.

[Ed Clark @ejclark34]

@colecubelic If anyone is complaining about it they either didn’t watch or they should just stop watching football. Getting to see multiple marquee matchups that otherwise wouldn’t have happened was great.

[Tom Fornelli @TomFornelli]

Feels like a good time to mention the average final score of the CFP title game has been 41.8-21.7, and none of the last six games have had a final margin smaller than 15 points.

Tip of the cap to the new format for FINALLY delivering an interesting championship game!

[Man vs Model Podcast @modelpicks]

#StayAtFour was irrevocably wrong this year. They all owe us a massive apology for reading their bullshit the last year+

[Man vs Model Podcast @modelpicks]

We were told the new format would:

👎Destroy the regular season

👎Lead to a less competitive post-season

👎Ruin CFB forever

Instead we get the best natty in 6 years

[Man vs Model Podcast @modelpicks]

@DawgStats @CFBNerds Seriously... quit f-ing watching casuals

[Man vs Model Podcast @modelpicks]

One of the more competitive championship games in recent memory.

@LKarohl25 JMU will make a man out of him

[Man vs Model Podcast @modelpicks]

@NoCoastJake I mean subtraction is a useful skill

[Man vs Model Podcast @modelpicks]

@antonazucar Fair. BUT how many of those teams had a year one coach that took an FCS team to the FBS, whipped the shit outta their conference from day one, parlayed that to a P4 job, and competed for a natty immediately?

[Man vs Model Podcast @modelpicks]

In year one, with more or less a new team, C-Cigs...

✅️Had the best season in Hoosier history
✅️Made it to the CFP
✅️ Lost two games to the two teams playing in the Natty (by a combined 33 points)

ESPN and Kirk Herbstreit owe IU an apology.

@RopeADopeRadio @SamENole @BrettKollmann Exactly what we mean by #theFirstLawofCFB... intrigue cannot be destroyed it can only be moved around CFB.

In the context of the CFP expansion that means the importance of a few big name matchups might wane a bit... but previously meaningless matchups soak up that intrigue.

[Man vs Model Podcast @modelpicks]

Change seeding, bring more CFP games to campus, regulate NIL/ x'fer portal. Plenty of work still to be done. But...

👉 This was one of the best regular seasons of CFB since 2007.

👉 And the playoff absolutely did its job and we will crown one of two best/most deserving teams.

[Michael DeCourcy @tsnmike]

The four-team playoff was a show.
The 12-team tournament is a genuine championship. Having a genuine championship ELEVATES the regular season.
This was the best college football season of the last 60 years.

[Man vs Model Podcast @modelpicks]

Imagine a four team playoff which wouldn't have featured the best team in CFB.

[Man vs Model Podcast @modelpicks]

Louder for the anti-expanstionists

[Nicole Auerbach @NicoleAuerbach]

Indiana did not deserve the vitriol it received during and after its first-round CFP loss to Notre Dame.

It’s quite possible that the Hoosiers’ only losses this season came to the two best teams in college football.

Impressive stuff so far this bowl season from the best conference that will forever hold an imbalance of power in cfb.
