we all know times have been weird of late.   I'm surprised that's the only info he brought back from the future.  Probably just baby stepping it.  That info alone is tough for so many.

as of right now, the new 12 team format is dumb and bad.....I don't see the games playing out in a way that changes that.  4 team while flawed and bad, seems better.  If we had some legit great teams this year like in prior CFP seasons, it would highlight just how bad the 12 format as it stands is.

Disagree. The 12 team field ensures that all the teams that could potentially legitimately win are included. It seemed like there was always a very deserving team left out on the cold with the four team format. No matter how large the field, there are always going to be bubble teams that get left out and feel snubbed but I really don't think anyone left out of a 12 team field had a legit chance anyway.

more teams can potentially win this year as a product of the top being so much weaker vs prior years though.    CFP struggled most years to find 4 teams that all belonged in the same tier. 

I think if the top was stronger, it would like worse.  Especially with the auto byes and how that ends up skewing the bracket.

If you scared go to church.

 

The blue bloods hate having to beat the smaller schools. If they get beat it's because they aren't the best team in college football.

 

Hell if it was up to me they would cut the regular season to 10 games. Have the top 25 teams battle it out in playoff format with the #1 team getting a bye.

 

Now that would be Chaos!

I think the portal and NIL will level the playing field somewhat over the top 25 or so. Four and five star recruits are going to be a lot less patient sitting and waiting their turn when they can enter the portal and cash a check AND hit the field for sure next year. Part of the dominance of the top teams was being able to gobble up a ton of the elite talent oftentimes keeping a lot of it riding the pine. I think there's a lot less of that now and that'll be the new norm.

Fan of the 12th team thinks the 12 team format sucks lol.  You just want a bigger field, because a bigger field means more upsets and bigger threats to Clemson are likely to be taken out before Clemson plays them.

I think 12 is enough but the seeding is a mess.  It will be a mess unless they mandate fixed conferences, which will never happen.

well, like I keep saying, the fact college football sucks this year at the top makes my point less clear.  Clemson doesn't really factor on my take.  The format does benefit the ACC though IMO.  SEC/BIG10 have directed this thing to where we are, and in the end they are unhappy because it still benefits the other guys. 

The auto byes really make it dumb IMO.  Because in a year with a strong top.....you could end up with strong teams having to pointlessly play there way into the playoff because of byes given to weaker teams and risk needless injury.  So they might end up where they belong, but we don't get the game we wanted because they lost people to get there. 

I mean, I might can tolerate the 12 team but they got to re-format the seeding I guess is my primary point.

      2026 NFL Combine Thread: 2.26.26 - 3.1.26

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
