Best game of the year was LSU vs BAMA. If ya disagree you just don’t know football. But again it’s just different down here, and thank God for that.

Yep. It would be very hard to top that game from both a competitive standpoint as well as an entertainment standpoint.

Yes sir. And if you disagree you just simply don’t understand what Quality football looks like. It’s simple as that.

A little more to throw into the turmoil and SEC "myth".  ;)

At this time, the AP has 6 BIG Teams ranked within the top 20  (there are 25 total tanked in the Poll)
The SEC has 5.

A little more history, last two years Bowl Games by Conference. (which dispells the so-called dominance)

2018 Bowl Game wins by conferences.  SEC was 6 & 6, the BIG was 5 & 4
2017 Bowl Game wins by conferences.  SEC 4 & 5, the BIG was 7 & 1.

This should bring some fun discourse.

Also 11 out of the 14 teams in the BIG will not play a single FCS opponent.  Some teams such as Ohio State etc. will not schedule an FCS opponents.  Every Conference has its own cupcake teams.

They don't have to schedule FCS teams for an automatic win.

Ohio States out of conference games were against winning FBS teams.  Florida Atlantic FBS is 8 & 3 fighting for the lead in Conference USA
Cincinnati is 10 and 1, the only loss is to OSU 42 to 0 and is currently ranked in the top 25 of FBS Teams.  AAC Conference.
Miami of Ohio in a good MAC Conference is 7 & 4 and 6 and 1 currently in the lead in the MAC.

No Samford (which Auburn is going to play, an FCS team that my Alma Mater Youngstown State University beat 45 to 22 (YSU is an FCS team and not a very good one.)

Nope............ya won't find Western Carolina on any BIG Teams schedule either.

Basically why we need at least 8 teams. There are 8 teams (or more) that play above the rest and deserve to have their shot at all the glory.

The playoff format needs to be expanded, in my opinion.
No more sportswriter and coaches voting.  Win your conference, and you're in, period. 
Cut the regular season down to ten games, since there were folks saying the college kids didn't need to play so many game.
Heck, here in Texas, even the high school teams that make the playoffs have the potential to play 15 games that season, if they
are good enough and keep winning once they playoffs start.
Using a ten game regular season, if the FBS conference champions hit the playoffs, it would add 4 games to the schedule for those
who kept winning and advancing.
Even keeping the current schedule would only end up with the two finalists playing 16 games, which is what the pros play in their regular
season.
Rotate on a annual basis the 4 conferences that don't get a bye week, let the national championship be decided on the field, not via some polls.

Just my two cents worth.....................

You guys ready?

Yes!  :aok

(I am always filled with optimism.  However, Michigan has been playing well lately and getting better each week for the past several weeks.  The quarterback, Shea Patterson, has won Big 10 player of the week for the past 2 weeks in a row.  All that is needed is just one more week of that.  :aok)

Not the biggest ones.  Once you get above about 10M people watching, it is unlikely that most of them are locals.

Take 2018's The Game as an example.  It had 13M viewers.  Total population of Michigan and Ohio is 21M.  It would take about 1/3 of the total population of both states to equal 50% of the viewers.  As a person who lived in Michigan from birth until after college, I can tell you with certainty that 1/3 of all men, women, children, and babies are not watching The Game each year.

Why not a playoff system as all the pro sports?
I mean after all, now the college players can earn money just for their faces
and whatever
How long before colleges will start loosing players at the soph and frosh levels?
As a matter of fact, how long before High Schoolers get the same treatment?
Yes, Lebron took advantage of HS situation but think about it... Lebron is not the smartest

At least NCAA Football has a 3 year removed from high school requirement, so junior year of college or redshirt sophomore. Not like basketball where for some players going to college is just a formality and to dazzle for a year.

Just as with NCAA BEFORE allowing the players to cash in... I give it a few years and hi-schers will cash in as well and then just
skip college/university all together

I mean we have to ask ourselves... what is a college/university education worth?
