NEW: CFP executive director Rich Clark on fans against the 24-team College Football Playoff:
"We’re aware of the fan sentiment, and that many fans aren’t in favor of expansion. That was certainly weighed into the decision and it was considered. But ultimately, we just need to make a spectacular Playoff."

They killed bowl games, regional conferences that are a reasonable size, conference championships, and a lot of the regular season value of the sport so they could shift everything to a 24 team invitational where a 3 or 4 loss team can potentially get hot at the right time and win all for the sake of the almighty dollar. The people who run this sport don’t care about anything other than money.
Losing doesn’t matter.
Everything’s entirely about money.
Conference title games gone.
Teams are going to be resting starters.
They’re trying to completely kill bowls.
Rankings blatantly rigged for the SEC.
Endless transferring, minimal loyalty.
They’ve killed our sport.

This was genuinely a you had to be there moment. Basically every game that day had a massive fight, a flag plant that caused a fight, or just some straight bullshit on a few plays
I will say. Coliseum is gorgeous, and was rocking as the game kept progressing. Fanbase was cordial, knew ball, and the banter was phenomenal.
Thanks for the hospitality USC fans, see y’all in the shoe soon. 🫡
USC beating Ohio State isn’t something new. Historically, USC has been dominant against Ohio State.
The NCAA Sanctions against USC allowed other programs to emerge even more while USC was penalized the most than any other team… Know your history, we coming back ✌️
Two things can be true. Desmon made a mistake after the play, faced national scrutiny, and was punished on and off the field. But blaming a losing season on one late slide? That has nothing to do with Desmon. That’s a culture of weakness that was going to be exposed irregardless.
@uscpsycho I don’t see a world where they beat Ohio State, Indiana, and UCLA and miss the playoffs.
But I see your point, expanded playoff feels like a cheap participation trophy
If you had told me that USC's defense had 4 bad drives and played flawlessly on every other, I would have thought USC would have won by double digits. Wild
It’s crazy to me how competent media people will follow a group think narrative instead of researching for themselves.
1. In BIG Ten home games this year, USC has averaged 67,318. Wisconsin’s lone BIG Ten home game was 67,001 (there will be more than that in Saturday)
2. Just 2 weeks ago, USC went on the road in front of 115,000 and beat Penn State 🤷♂️
