Scholarship table
As for Quinn Evers....who knows? Maybe it will work out, maybe it won't. But I have zero problem with him transferring.
Thanks for posting this . Can you post the December 30 games when they are available . Curious to see those numbers
College Football Playoffs semifinals down.https://awfulannouncing.com/ncaa/college-football-playoff-viewership-slides-again.htmlI can't understand how they continue to screw up something so easily fixed.
Brother Fluff:Until the Playoffs stop being the Alabama Invitational Tournament or the SEC Second Chance Playoffs, ratings will continue to drop.What this year's tournament exposed was the inherent weakness in the rest of college football relative to the SEC. While the Big 10, Notre Dame, Big 12 and Pac 12 offered some exciting football, none of those conferences hold a candle to the best of the SEC. When Florida and LSU fire a winning head coach because the coach wasn't headed for a natty, you know you are in a different world than the Big 10.Why do you think Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas, South Carolina and Missouri all fled for the SEC? They know if they compete in the SEC, they're better than the rest of the world. As the conference itself says, "It just means more..."Until this changes, college football playoff ratings will be waaaaaaaayyyyyyy down.
They need to expand the tournament, which will get more people invested and heighten the opportunity for upsets. P5 conference champion, best Group of 5 champion, six at large.
Don't you think it will only expand the interest of fans of the extra 8 teams in the field? People in Chicago or NYC won't care anymore than they do now. We can't even find 4 teams with a realistic chance to win it all. I don't think we need 8-10 teams with no chance.
I think the more games you play, the more eyeballs will watch. Same reason the NCAA basketball tournament, NFL, and every other sports league expand their playoffs, because the more teams involved, the larger the buzz.
I don't know that I agree. Those eyeballs will still be watching those teams in their bowl games without having to expand to teams that have no chance to win the natty.
They need to expand the tournament, which will get more people invested and heighten the opportunity for upsets. P5 conference champion, best Group of 5 champion, six at large.As I mentioned earlier, 12 teams. First round mid December Saturday on campus sites. Quarterfinals on New Year's Day - a day made for college football. Semis on the Saturday of the NFL's Week 18. Championship Game on some Monday.
You don’t think that more people would watch Ole Miss v Baylor if it meant something versus just being the Sugar Bowl? I highly disagree with that.
12 teams would be awful. College football just doesn’t have the parity.At the end of the day it’s gonna be the same teams Bama/Clemson/Georgia with the chance to win the title.All you’re doing with 12 teams is putting worse product out there and having Bama NFL kids risk more injury to go out and paste a couple extra teams.If #3 and #4 can’t hang with the top 2. 11 and 12 sure as hell are not.
In the eight years that the College Football Playoff has taken place, the #1 and #2 seeds have only met in the championship three times, with the last time being 2019.#1 has made the final 6 times, and only won it twice.#2 has made it four times, and won it three times#3 has made it four times, and never won it#4 has made it twice, and won it both times.That sounds like parity similar to the NCAA basketball tournament right? You add more teams and sure you are going to get some bad games, but you will also get more upsets and some good football.
Ratings are bad on NYE
Prove to me it will matter and that a non-SEC team has more than a snowball's chance in hell and I'll bite. I might argue Clemson generally belongs in the talk with Alabama and Georgia but that's the exception rather than the rule.
Watt 'bout da Duke Mayo Bowl, hey?
Word was over the summer 6 best conference champs. So, that would make a shocking 7-5 Northwestern to win the Big Ten not in the playoff. Over the past 8 years the best high schools players are going to about 6 to 8 schools. Those schools that are in the playoffs. Well, with a bigger playoff. The westcoast kids don't need to go to Alabama or Clemson to be in the playoff. As, the Pac-12 champ will be in the playoff. So, over a course of time recruiting will become more balanced.
The expanding playoff will still have the SEC on top. Yet, over time recruiting will become more balanced. As a USC fan, I'm sure hoping!
I'm almost fine with your list. You have to add Ohio State & Clemson since they have won national titles in the CFP era. Heck, Clemson won two beating Alabama.The expanding playoff will still have the SEC on top. Yet, over time recruiting will become more balanced. As a USC fan, I'm sure hoping!
