This recruiting class (33 of 34 5 stars have gone to SEC / BIG10 teams) and this CFP Committee ruling has shown you what way the sport is going.

Get in one of those two conferences or just make up the numbers. Sad times. 

That’s pretty insane.  And the one odd ball is to independent Notre Dame. 

Clemson has had a top 10 class the last 7 years straight.  Think their class is logging around 30 something right now.  Probably why Dabo was just talking about finally having access to money now and no one going to have more than Clemson.  Got that nice church money ready to roll after seeing his class I guess.   But I still don’t expect it going to portal kids.

Well lucky indiana that they don't have to go to a championship game lmao.

Saw some SMU fans saying they should just boycott the title game because of the all risk no reward nature of it.  They would 100% be in if the ACC didn’t play a title game.  Now potentially out if they lose.

It's actually a stupidly huge flaw.

It happens to Auburn back in 2017. Beat Bama to get into the SEC CG, lost to UGA in that game and Bama leapfrogged them to go to the playoffs. Super fuged up.

SEC West champion: Auburn
SEC champion: Georgia
National champion: Alabama

2017 was the year I stopped believing the CFP/college football as a whole had any legitimacy. It proved that no matter what Alabama does, they will get to play for a national title.

Honestly with CFP, they should just do away with conference titles games.

I still think they should just remove the auto bid qualifier.  Let them play, but the games count.  The argument they only hurt isn't true.  It just only hurts sometimes, just like it can only help sometimes.  Just like tough out of conference games.  Shane Beamer was talking about how they need to rethink even playing tough out of conference games.....ignoring the Clemson game they just got off of is what got him into the convo of possibly making it to begin with. 

I think there the field should be 8 teams, no byes and no auto entries.

His point is, they played it and won and it didn't make a difference.

Without that game, they weren’t even going to be debated and have an argument though.  So that game still helped their resume .  It was close, easily could have just come down to the randomness of who was on this committee this year and their bias. 

I think think this current window will be short regardless.  Current format is dumb.  And college football as we know is breaking anyway.  This format won't last long anyway because the conferences will keep changing. Money is doing what it does.  Already seeing it in recruiting.   Eventually, there is just going to be a "main conference".  Boise St isn't going to belong in the same realm a Bama is operating in.  They won't have the money, players and then no resume to even justify being in the talk even with a perfect record.

It should be simple: Make your title game and win (in), lose (committee talks, but probably in). Don't make your title game (out). The Power 5 will be back so that could easily give you 10 of the 12 teams. So that leaves 2 spots a year per se. Do you give it to two smaller conference champs? Sounds perfect. Teams out will say, But But We're Ranked! To which you reply, too bad, you couldn't even make your title game. Fans would MUCH rather see a 1-2 loss Louisiana, Tulane, Marshall, UNLV, Bowling Green, etc. than a 3 loss Alabama. BUT ... big Media wants Bama so my entire post is moot.

      Worst Panthers Preseason Yet

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year.

      Kicker

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
