They do draw the most for now...but how much of the rest of the nation tunes out for lack of one of their teams to pull for? Who knows that figure? Besides, it is tiring seeing the same ole same ole teams get all the opportunities...of course they will have more teams get in and likely advance...how could they not? Which solidifies their recruiting. etc, etc, Teams that are excluded can never win if they don't get in. And then the self fullfiling fantasy never ends and since it is not fully challenged it will never end.

The NFL has reached its zenith because of the playoff inclusion and not exclusion. The more parity and chances of teams to make the playoffs has taken them to their greatest heights of popularity and $$$ for the league and teams...do you agree with that?

If college would follow that model more closely...would not the same $$$ results follow? Am I making any sense with that train of thought? It would also help if ESPN's and Fox's $$$ to the leagues was more equitable too. I know that is a pipe dream right now too. A disruptiion needs to happen for these changes to take place. What should that be?

IMHO...all the P4$ leagues need to go back to divisions...have their ship game....and winner goes (proven best team) and then the next best (either the runner up) and or a higher ranked peer gets the invite...And most important, No and I mean no conference, gets more than two invites, period. Across the board. If that means more than a 12 team CFP, then expand to 16 and no one can get more than 3 invites, period.

Do away with this media bias, ESPN propaganda and decide it on the field of play across the board. The 5 or 6 SEC teams and BIG 4-5-6 teams are never ending self fulfilling prophecies propped up by the media because, because, because they are just better...we say so in our preseason rankings ever year regardless of merit. I call BS with capital letter BS.

Lets level the playing field with more inclusion ot the P4 and G5 and see what happens on the field and not the 'set in stone preseason', ever season ratings' of the so called who's who of CFB. IF you expanded your league to big to soon and did away with divisions then that is your own damn fault. Get back to regions and not vast expansion you greedy bastids.

Make me the Czar and that is what I would do. Would be more upsets for the little guys and the big guys would not like that upset of the ole apple cart. Would be far more national interest nee the regional South and Midwest that currently exists now and for the last 10-20 years.

Agree 100% Mayoman!

If the ACC fails to make some changes quickly, the league will fall further behind the SEC and the BIG.

Ironically, I believe overall, the ACC may be the best it’s ever been. 13 teams eligible for Bowl games and Duke, BC, GT, Syracuse and Pitt were quite formidable most all of this season. SMU is the best, and I expect that UL, Miami and even Clemson are deserving of consideration to a major Bowl matchup before its over.

JJ Weaver's last game was a blowout loss to the Cardinals. Ahhhhh .... yes. Satisfying.

I may be mistaken, but I do not believe we had a single offensive holding call, and while we had a total of only 3 penalties for 20 yards (lowest of the season), UK had 4 for 50 yards. I do believe they missed a UK defensive player grabbing a face mask on one of our players.
The one targeting call against Griffin was initiated from “upstairs” and was not whistled on the field. There may have been some misses, but given what we have experienced this year ……. It was the cleanest officiating that I saw this season.

You don’t think they’ll do anything that might get one of the anointed few beat do you?

This season has proven that a LOT of teams can beat anybody on a given day.

Can you imagine the turmoil if a WKU, Marshall, or App State, etc were to beat Penn St or UGA etc?

And we can’t say it can’t happen.

WE were the WKU when we beat Bama in the Fiesta.

The blue bloods aren’t guaranteed a win anymore.

Ask Saban…😉

UofL wins.....UofL wins......UofL wins

A new legend has been born in this series and his name is....Bear Brohm....I like it simply because I know that this will eat up the BBN with the big green monster of Football Supremacy envy. Whoooah! To be the Best you have to beat the best!

For this year we are the best in the Commonwealth. By a lot too. Will make them stew on that for a year. They deserve it.

Clemson has got to be one of the most unworthy teams to play in a conference championship.

They lose today in a non conference game, their second home loss, but with Miami losing to Syracuse, the dipshit Dabos will face SMU for a spot in the playoff.

Clemson didn't play SMU, Miami, Syracuse, Georgia Tech or Duke. Look at the current ACC standings and you will notice that the bottom seven teams all played and lost to Clemson.

They played one good team and was blown out at home. Louisville. Yet, if they beat SMU, they will be in the playoff. It's a travesty.

So if the Cards had beaten Stanford, they still wouldn't have made the playoff.

But here's Clemson, beaten at home by their rival and they're celebrating a conference title game. Clemson is the antithesis of Louisville and it pisses me off.

2025 Schedule

T
This schedule is built to make a legit run at the playoff. The portal is going to be very interesting. I have no clue how they will stack up in the NIL world. No clue if it is true but Louisville has been mentioned to be in Top 20.

Their strategy has been retaining, portal and high school. Here is the slippery slide of this it sounds like the bigger brands are going to be extremely active this portal season jacking the market up.

8 home games with Clemson being only circle the wagon game. Avoid the other up and comers Syracuse and Georgia Tech. The schedule is absolutely a selling point.

My immediate needs.

1) Retain all the obvious and the younger Oline and DLine.
2) Oline-can’t miss here.
3) Dline line—-edge guys
4) Corners-Safeties
5) QB-not worried here I trust them here.
6) WR-they will have options. They have to add quality depth. It was a really thin group.

It will be fun to watch.

I thought they were pretty darn complimentary of UofL. I didn’t pick up to much bias, plus it’s hard to be to bias when the team is taking an ass kicking

Only bias is if they were telling us things we already didn’t know as a fan base. We are a good football team and we lost three games by one score. Also we didn’t need anyone else to tell us how bad the Stanford loss was.
