Now with that said, FSU can forever STFU about getting snubbed from the playoffs.

I mean, without Travis and their two starting WRs that ain't FSU. Not to mention their starting RB. It's just not. What percentage of their offensive production isn't playing tonight?

Ideally, Michigan beats Bama because fug Bama then gets straight up TCU'd in the championship game.

Watch the games. Listen to the opponents. Bieniemy completely abandons the run for huge swaths of every game despite having a terrible pass protecting OL. Their opponents flat out say the only part of their offense that concerns them is Howell getting outside the pocket and making plays outside the framework of the offense and the primary difference between Howell and Brissett is that Bieniemy actually commits to the run when Brissett is playing.

Their opponents are saying the same thing. Their fans are saying the same thing. The guy has sucked.

@CamWhoaaCam can never be wrong because he can shift bandwagons on the fly like no one I've ever seen.

Just a holdover of legacy media platforms. Without network TV and boomer executives that still thinks that is the advertising avenue of note there's no way the current bowl system is viable.

Sounds like some Michigan poo but I can't imagine the NCAA would let that leak with them about to play as the #1 seed in the playoffs.

Would he be interested in replacing Mack? Because sign me the fug up.

Jesus. I just checked the score. #7 OSU vs. #9 Mizzou is 7-3 deep into the 4th. The bowl golden goose is dead. The advertisers and naming sponsors have to be realizing horrible ROI at this point. You need the playoffs and a handful of bowls for the good non-P5 teams. Hell, honestly you need about 40-50 teams competing for those 12 playoffs spots and the rest of current D1 being demoted to D1-AA. Sorry Dakotas. Y'all have competition again. App State is back.

You're not getting it. FSU missed the playoffs because their QB got hurt. Period. If Travis doesn't get hurt in a schedule filler game they're in the playoffs. That sucks but it is what it is. Guess what? If Penix got hurt Washington probably isn't in the playoffs either. It is what it is. The problem is the 4 team field. That problem gets fixed next year. The NCAA kicking that can down the road might kill the ACC. And honestly, ya know what? I don't even care. Expansion has grossly watered down the old rivalries already. The ACC is pretty much already dead IMO. With Stanford, Cal, and SMU coming aboard it just gets dumb. You can't even honestly call it the ATLANTIC Coast Conference anymore.

Sure they would have. If Carolina is undefeated Drake Maye is a Heisman finalist and they're in the playoffs. FSU missed the playoffs because their QB got hurt late in the season in a meaningless game against a schedule filler before they had time to prove that maybe they could be a playoff contender without him. That sucks, but it is what it is. If Carolina had gone undefeated and Drake Maye got hurt against Campbell and that was our last regular season game then we would've missed the playoffs too. It is what it is. It's the flaw of a 4 team field. A 12 team field largely addresses that. The NCAA never should've kicked that can down the road once they made the decision to expand. Yeah, there's still gonna be snubs. But let's be real, if you're a bubble team in a 12 team field in college football you don't stand a real chance anyway. The top handful of teams really is THAT much better than a everyone else. The 12 team field just ensures that no real contenders get left out.

Honestly, they did. Also honestly, I don't care. As soon as Travis went down so did their legit chances in a 4 team playoff so I don't really care that they got snubbed. They got screwed because the NCAA decided to wait to expand to a 12 team field. Sure you know what I mean. You throw shade at one team and one team only. No clue why a FSU fan would be so concerned with UNC.

You care a whole lot when it's convenient to you talking trash about a certain school.

Mizzou vs. OSU is 3-0 in the 3rd quarter? Real barn burner. #7 vs. #9 in a bowl game would historically be must see TV. I'm a football junkie and I've watched three quarters of college bowl games so far. The real games start on Monday. There's only three that matter.

CJ Beathard probably gonna look like an MVP for one day. Gonna be like that game that Packers backup QB had where he passed for a billion yards and a million TDs leading to the Seahawks paying him big money just to have him lose out to a rookie Russell Wilson and ultimately never be heard from again.

Eventually the system has to die. Advertisers and naming sponsors have to be getting completely abysmal ROI.

I'm paying him and parting ways with Burns. Hell, letting him walk and only getting a 3rd round comp pick is still a better option than paying him cap crippling money.

If it's not a playoff game or a historically awful team getting a bowl for the first time in ages the P5 teams just don't care. I haven't even been watching these games other than the UNC game and bailed out of that one with about 12 minutes to go.

Mack accomplished the goal. He drug us out of the hole Fedora dug us into and rebuilt the recruiting pipelines Fedora destroyed. Mission accomplished. But staying too long will start to undo that. IMO, he's already stayed too long. Going into this season would've been perfect timing to gracefully retire and we would've been a HOT job with a Heisman hopeful QB. Instead, we have completely fumbled two Heisman campaigns in just three years and you can bet that the combo of that and Mack's age is hampering our recruiting abilities. The relationships are rebuilt for someone else to takeover. Beyond this point Mack becomes more of a liability than a help. It just is what it is. It's time for him to bow out or unfortunately be forced out. I'd greatly prefer the former.

He's gotta go. It's just a happy retirement gig for him. What do you mean you're not happy? We won 8 games! We went to a bowl! Nevermind that we show promise in the first half of the season before ultimately face planting and abysmally failing to live up to expectations and potential every year. 8 wins aren't created equal. We end every season playing our worst football at the end of the year and we can't gain any momentum because of it. Mack's gotta go. If he's back next year we probably win 4-5 games and start sliding back to where Fedora had us making the whole "Return of the Mack" era largely meaningless. It was a get right move to build a bridge to the next era. Mission accomplished. Don't burn the damn bridge down.

Where did he stack up against his peers? What was the percentage of his team's receiving yards he accounted for? These are measures that help put things into perspective.

I thought Smitty would eventually get in but not even being a finalist this year does not bode well. WR stats are getting ridiculous these days but that's irrelevant to Smitty's case IMO. You judge a guy against his peers in the league that he played in, not against what the league currently is.

Everything football related is a huge weakness for the football organization that Tepper has built. It's just been a revolving door of guys who Tepper had deemed the one who is going to wave a magic wand and fix everything.

Peppers is a 1st ballot HOFer. Gates might be too.
