Looking forward to an offseason of them continuing to ruin college football more and more.

ACC now saying they think they should have a regular season champ.  Park that team to the side.  Let the 2nd and 3rd teams play for the ACC “championship”.  Have 2 champions with the regular season champ protected from actually having to prove to be that. 

Stupid.  Hope that gets shot down.  Bad ideas tend to bleed over.  Other sports. 

reality is SMU didn’t play Clemson, Miami and the top of the ACC in season.  Conferences are too big.    So yeah, you 100% have to play a real title game to be the champion.  Because it exposes you to the actual best teams.

We knew this would happen - that you'd end up with conferences focusing on not weakening their best teams records. Any given Sunday (Saturday) is an even bigger thing in college football. Just look at OSUs losses this year...

They need to go back to the way it was 20 years ago.  The conferences are too big and meaningless now.  Bring back the Big East!

The mega conference thing definitely sucks. I miss the days when you played every conference opponent.

yep.  I mean, basically everyone I wanted to see play each other in the ACC this year.....wasn't on the regular season schedule.   And it's not new.   It's just far worse.  I use to give my SEC chest thumping friends poo because Clemson in the last decade of college football....Clemson saw mighty Bama far more often than SC even thought about it.  I mean, if your brag and defense is you play in the Bama conference but never really play them.  If you are playing a team once every 3 or 4 years......you aren't really in their conference IMO

Ohio State/Notre Dame had the 3rd smallest viewership of the championship games in the CFP era.   Ohio State now actually account 2 of the 3 lowest viewed championship games.  This past game surpasses 21s Ohio State/Bama game.   

Just getting big names doesn’t auto mean big views

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.

      That doesn't void his contract
