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

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
