i get on here to talk about football and make people laugh

 

the nonstop fighting between about 9 different people vs temp is exhausting and not entertaining in the least bit

and I'm gonna pass on encouraging it to continue.

 

Fair enough....but you did confirm a trend...with trends there is typically a root cause

I also don't find a good man labeled a racist entertaining in the least bit either

maybe the group of people should take an introspective look at why exactly they all feel the need to jump the same guy in every thread, who has attempted to steer conversation back to topic multiple times.

 

didn't read whatever the message in question of bobrefs was, don't think hes a racist, don't particularly care that temp called him one.

perhaps if you had read the entire dialogue, you'd have better perspective to go with your opinion.

Just hope the mantra on GID doesn't become one that allows people start crap in the first place by alleging ridiculous accusations, even go as far as lie about others, and then when it gets hot, just try and steer the conversation back to the topic....and get credit for doing so.

at this point the only thing you post on this forum is attacking temp regardless of topic.

 

 

that will be my final input of this conversation because it is a total waste of my time. you people are better than this.

 

i swear when i get back if there isn't a thread about why 3a and 4a will both be down bad next year im going to freak out

that would be an incorrect statement.  Glad we are done talking about it

ND -2.5

OSU - 6.0

How we feeling?

I've got Notre Dame and OSU...............pretty confident about both covering the spread. If these are the two best teams in the country, and I think they are, then the spreads should be covered. 

I could honestly see OSU rout Texas like they have everyone else. But you never know with Ohio State. If they bring they're best game to the table, I think they are your national champs. 

Notre Dame beat the SEC champ by double digits. That tells us everything we need to know about Notre Dame. Penn State does scare me a bit, but they just seem like a good team that's on the outside looking in. Right now Ohio State and Notre Dame have that "it" factor.

Lol. 

Damn Rodney, didn't mean to get  you into the middle of all this. I think my intention was to bring some sense of humor to the whole thing. Kind of backfired. 

But I agree with your posts. I like @Bash Riprock, but I think it's time for him to move on. He and Temp are two tough, stubborn dudes. 

No need to respond, you've moved on. Looking forward to the next 3A & 4A will be bad topic.

Why do you say this?

Those are the only generations I've encountered who tend to view the word "cracker" as an "abhorrent racial slur". Usually accompanied by their requisite virtue signalling.

Good idea.  If they bring it up, I will point out the facts. 
 

Yes.  I see 16 teams soon.  

Sixteen? I'm thinking eight. We all know that teams ranked 9-16 have nearly a zero chance of winning the whole thing. I was gonna say four, but that would have eliminated Ohio State this year. I think ND would have gotten in at the #4 spot.

Eh, let it go.  Unwinnable argument.

Back on topic, do we see any offseason changes coming to the CFP after the dismal performance by the conference champions this year?

Too much money, don't see it, but I do see this happening down the road in next 10 years or less a full divorce from NCAA of the P4 and a 2 tier system, like DIVISION 1A, where its the power 4 playing for the opportunity to make the playoffs, wether 12 team or 16, but most make sense to get to 24, like the current FCS model.   

HUGE obstacle is imbalance of schedules, fact SEC refuses to play more than 8 "conference" schools, then whines when Big 10 who plays 9, has more teams in the playoffs.   Strength of Schedule needs to be completely wiped off any formula for seeding.   

Everyone plays 12 games amongst the power 4 leagues/divisions.   Set it up just like NFL does, with quadrants perhaps or pools to win that gets into the seeds, etc.    

Folks, this is pro football now, can't act like its the Reggie Bush era

Elimination of conference championship games?

Yes, if you see above

Too much money in them for conferences, but more money in making the playoff. I saw ND's take on making it to the final 4 is $14 Million. For the other teams, it's $14 Million to be shared among their conference teams. 

I am guessing the guaranteed seeds go away; just pair them up 1 thru 16. And each round should be reseeded

Love the idea of reseeding no matter how many teams are in the playoffs, 12, 16, 24 etc

 

BTW:   FCS championship game is tonight

How would one go about “re-seeding?”

Would that give teams incentive to “step on the gas” and run up the score in order to shift perceptions and gain as high of a seed for the next round as possible?

If you can’t use 12-13 games to seed teams accordingly, what’s one more gonna tell you?

I've watched some of the FCS playoffs and I've been impressed with Montana State.  I'll probably watch at least some of that game tonight.

The NFL does it now. Maybe the term reseed is not the best term, but that is what is often used. It just guarantees the highest remaining seed each round plays the lowest remaining seed. That way you avoid a larger gap between two teams playing each other. Use the NCAA BBALL tournament as an example. If a 2 or 3 seed is upset, the next round game for those upset teams is a larger gap than the 1 vs 8 matchup.

Money to be made. NFL goes to 18 games.  There are too many days off where these leech’s aren’t making money.
