I don't really understand the playoff structure very well, how come Ohio State isn't playing another game like Georgia and Michigan?

Because they didn't qualify for their conference championship game. So just like Bama a few years ago, they essentially get an unearned bye week.

It's gonna be crazy when they expand the playoffs. I wonder how often guys declaring for the draft are going to opt out of those extra games. I think it would be a wild card round then an 8 team round, and then down to the 4 team system they have now?

I don't think it'll be an issue. You don't see guys sitting out of playoff games or conference championship games, just the also ran bowls. They just let the bowl system grow so massive that going to a bowl game lost all prestige. You have to flat out suck now to not qualify for a bowl. It doesn't mean anything anymore. Then they changed the names of most of the bowls to corporate sponsors and people kind of lost track of the "real" bowl games. So now you have the playoffs and then to a much lesser extent the New Year's Eve six bowls and nothing else matters. That's just the real truth. Some of these bowls look like they're attended at the level of a local HS game.

Very true. Seems like every time I think I make up a random sponsor to make fun of a bowl game, I google it and it ends up actually existing. I just googled Cheez-It bowl and that's a real thing somewhere

A lot of it comes down to idiotic match making too. The conference tie-ins need to stop. I mean, you end up with matchups like Wake Forest vs. South Carolina in say El Paso, TX. Who in the fug is going to that game? That makes no sense. But put that game in Charlotte and it's a different story.

First:  I WOKE UP FEELING THE CHEESIEST COACH!

Second: Cheez-It is sponsoring two bowls this year! There are far too many bowls.

      Podcast will the Panthers give Young 2027 option plus DC approach with Yoing

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I mentioned this in another thread but i'll restate it here. Keeping a wait and watch approach and passing on the 5th year option kinda makes sense like obliquely, but in practice neither the team or the player wants it. The player doesn't want to risk injury when he could have at least another year locked up, and the team doesn't want to risk the player blowing up in their fourth year and holding the team over the barrel. If you're the QB and you're playing that well you obviously test the free agent market, and you'd probably be bitter about it as well.  modern first round qb contracts are essentially 3 year deals with the option of an additional 2 to put downward pressure on contract extensions. You either pick up the 5th year, extend with a new contract, or move on.  just sitting tight on the fourth year isn't a practical choice for any of the parties.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      The point was Miles Sanders wasn't just a guy in Philly. He was at least as good as Chuba has been in Carolina.

      Offensive Line

      I have not been impressed with our pass blocking since at least 2022. Still remember watching Darnold live against the Seahawks when we were dominating them in the run game and we still allowed far too much pressure on him regardless. It has not gotten much better since. In fairness to this year's unit, they have been hit by injuries. Oftentimes, even a mediocre overall unit is better than a stacked one if the former stays healthy throughout the entire season. Constant shuffling only means a much greater likelihood someone will blow their assignment and that's all it takes for a sack or worse.
