General Dog posted:I don’t really get why people are more squeamish about putting in a CCG loser than a team that doesn’t make the CCG game to begin with. Either winning your conference is mandatory, or it’s not. If not, there’s not really anything special about losing a CCG as opposed to any other regular season game. People put so much stock in CCG despite the fact that they’re recent inventions that are all about money, and don’t even match up the two best teams in the conference. It’s really obnoxious. I’m really excited for the playoff to expand and make this dumb weekend matter less.

downout posted:Well it is a 13th game which only ~10 teams in the power 5 get to play in. It's kind of a big deal when comparing an 11-1 record vs a 12-1 (or even 11-2!) record with a loss in the CCG. But like, when you play some Sun Belt FCS team, why should that matter that you’re playing a 13th game? One of them was essentially a scrimmage.

General Dog posted:Look, Georgia’s 12-1 isn’t as good as Notre Dame’s 11-1, for ~reasons~. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules. My argument would be that Georgia’s 11-1* is slightly better than Notre Dame’s 11-1.

D.N. Nation posted:It's gonna be rad when a system people think is designed to give Central Boise Cincy Cinderella State a mandated shot at the big one will end up giving us "2026 National Champion 9-3 Auburn" That’s pretty much exactly what happened when they expanded from the BCS to the playoff. A previously “undeserving” Ohio State jumped TCU and snuck in at #4 via an absolute curb stomping in the B1G Championship and proceeded to run the table. And ya know what? As a non-Ohio State fan, that team was fun as hell to watch and I’m glad I was able to see them win it. That Bama-OSU semifinal is one of my favorite college football games of the past decade.

What was Ohio State thinking hiring Kerry Coombs as DC anyways? They could basically have their pick of any young up and coming coordinator and they hired him? Is he a good recruiter or something? Then again I don’t think their problems on defense this year were necessarily schematic. They just don’t have the athletes they normally do on defense.

Should’ve hired Jon Heacock. Though I could see Marcus Freeman go after him for Notre Dame. Those two coaches together under Darrel Hazel at both Kent State and Purdue.

mayodreams posted:It blows my mind that anyone associated with the statistically worst period in Purdue football for over 50 years would be considered for high level positions, but here we are. Heacock was only at Purdue in Hazell’s first year. And he wasn’t DC.

Asproigerosis posted:I really don't think it can overstated how hilarious it is that Texas made sark their head coach. Sark is the ultimate fail upwards HC. That title used to be held by his former coworker Lane Kiffin but Kiffin has actually been pretty successful recently.

Cycling through the fight songs in the NCAA games was so much fun and it’s the way I discovered my love for the Michigan State and South Carolina fight songs.
