@jakequery The NFL pulverizes college football ratings and a few losses are completely irrelevant. This notion games don’t matter is the silliest reason I can think of not to have a larger playoff like every other level of the sport
@davideprince There’s a lot of college football stadiums like that. People confuse big with good. Places like Penn State look like they just added more and more high school bleachers to get to 100k.
@DCLucky101 Total BS. Every other level of football has a large playoff. Every level. You just want free passes for blue bloods they aren’t getting anymore.
@schadjoe Texas and Alabama would be treading water though with any more losses. But that notwithstanding this whole argument regular season games hold no value is odd. Why does the NFL get 30M plus viewers for prime regular season games even when any individual result “doesn’t matter”
@CollegeGameDay Of course the blue bloods coach wants the instant ticket to the Final 4 w/o having to navigate a playoff. He also wants NIL gone because it also helps even the field. I can’t imagine how many Final 4s in basketball Kansas would have if they didn’t have to win 4 games to get there
@LondonCat5@brianstark@jayhawkchief2 Actually 6. Another 2 who were backups that played in 2025. And the top 4 teams in the conference are ALL in this group of returning QBs.
@johnsplaining No it absolutely was not. Imagine a basketball tournament that went straight to the Final 4. My alma mater would have 30 Final 4 appearances they didn’t have to earn. Exactly the way it was. Expanding field makes the blue bloods earn it.
@toga_party_ With this silly logic why do pro sports have a regular season. Why does college basketball have a regular season. Literally every other level of football has a big playoff field. If games have no meaning to you because of that you just don’t like college football
