2024-25 College Football Thread

there are way too many bowls as it is

Bowls are usual for the practice and development time but not much else.
You do get a head start on seeing your young guys.
And you get an idea of if your Coach can motivate.

all processes are flawed.
Giving so much cred to the SEC this year was a definite flaw

Bama with a new coaching staff did zero to get the free loss respect they got under Saban.
And they went out and demonstrated that 4 times.

Texas Tech drove a mack truck through Ole Miss and Kiffin in a Bowl game 2 years ago. That team is talented but suffers big let downs at an insane clip.

FWIW... Bowls up not down
Playoff meant more meaningful football and people stayed watching the sport.

easy fix. move CFP to 16 teams. Remove byes but have all 8 R1 games on campus.
attendance not an issue for those.

CFB attendance is often down to when students are on break or not. Tech sold out every home P4 game except when the students were away for Thanksgiving.
But travelling across country during a holiday is definitely going to damper totals.

12 is stupid; 16 is moronic

Funny how beating an SEC team is everyone's measuring stick.....but anyone who supports the conference is a homer. lol

Man, if TT ever beat Bama or UGA, you'd be talking about it for decades.

BS. If you cannot motivate in 12 games THAT is the REAL STORY

Having meaningful college football games at this time of the year is a wonderful thing!
I am so tired of the “Noone Cares Bowl” and the “Who Gives A Crap Bowl”.

12 playoff teams out of 134 possibilities isn’t bad at all. What’s wrong with that?

Did you have a problem when the NFL had 12 playoff teams but only 30 total teams?
