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.

      Evero HC requests!

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      No, both instances of references to the defense were specific to the run defense.  I should have said "run defense" the 2nd time.  You admit there has been ample personal issue but then use those stats to support your argument. I'm not arguing on the effectiveness of his specific scheme overall.  I'm saying he is only now getting the proper personal to run his scheme.  The stats are the stats and while I don't disagree with any of what you're saying, 3 years of those stats are based on the Panthers front office not giving him the tools to run a competitive NFL defense until this year with D. Brown getting healthy and the additional of Tre'von Moehrig. I want to see his defense when we don't have multiple key starter positions manned with players who would IMHO are not starting level players.  With some talent  I say all this while not being a big fan of his scheme.  I would prefer a 4-3 but that's neither here or there. And yes, I would call getting requests and interviews from other teams who want to hire him good evidence that he may be a pretty good DC and has a lot of potential as a HC. In 2022 he had HC requests from the Broncos, Colts, and Texans.  He also had requests for DC from the Vikings, Falcons and the Panthers.  We hired him to be our DC. In 2023 it was the Falcons, Raiders and Seahawks for a HC position. In 2024 the Falcons, Seahawks and the Panthers interviewd him for HC.  We blocked the Jags from a DC interview. In 2025 (which is this years hiring cycle) so far its the Falcons, Raiders and just today the Steelers, all for the HC position.

      The Giants still may be crap but they just improved somewhat by hiring Harbaugh,

      Yeah I was almost going to mention the finger but he did so well last week after whatever they did to it at halftime I let it go. It could get hit and messed up worse, it is a weak point.    Weather and home field crowd in Chicago are huge challenges no doubt. I can’t really be confident in LA but the inexperience of Chicago in a game with this stuff at stake is likely to be a factor, enough to make it hard to be confident in them. So who knows….
