Definitely. I very much enjoy watching college football games when I don't really care all that much about who wins. It makes it enjoyable in a completely different way. It'll have to stay competitive though. I'll turn it off pretty quick if it gets lop-sided one way or the other.

That is funny!!! UT grad? Yes. Engineering? No. I try really hard to avoid criticism of the play calling. There's just no way to have any kind of meaningful discussion about it without a lot more insider access than I will ever have.

I was pleased with the calls when they worked. Not so much when they didn't. Funny how that works.

It was pretty clear after about a quarter that Iowa was not going to be able to sustain drives. I think CJH started running the ball and slowing the pace to shorten the game.

No they didn’t, because the spots can’t be earned. They’re awarded based on the opinions of “smart” people, which is why the whole process is flawed.

You just have to follow the money. Programs will field a team for the bowls as long as the money is there. But, I can see a time when opt outs weaken the on-field play to the point that fans lose interest. If the tv money isn’t there, the payouts get smaller, and over time, these games go away...

I don’t care who makes the playoffs. At all. I’m just against any form of a “committee” picking the playoff teams. It ought to be predetermined by a set of criteria, like the nfl. I’d be perfectly fine with saying it’s the top two teams from each of the p5 and two at large bids based on some...

I think it speaks volumes about the cultures of the two programs. It causes me great pain to see UGa be successful, but I do recognize it and respect it.

FSU had an argument that they should have made the playoffs. Georgia, while a weaker one, also had an argument based on the “best teams” qualifier. FSU had more than two dozen players opt out in response. Georgia brought pretty much their whole roster of guys who actually play and prepped like...

FSU is a 10 pt dog to Georgia who lost to Alabama. Alabama is a 1.5 favorite over the "#1" team in the CFP rankings. If the charge of the committee is to select the four most deserving teams, then FSU should have gotten the nod. But, everything I have seen, heard and read is that they are...

My son went to Iowa. We lived there for a while. The wave is cool. I have even been in the hospital up to that floor where they gather. It's a better view of the field from there than it is in some of the seats in Neyland! Kinnick is a very nice stadium. It's just small.

Dabo and Jimbo are pretty much the same guy. I would be shocked if A&M had interest. Dabo's best is in his rearview mirror, just like Jimbo.

I agree with you, but it does beg the question of why so many of those calls are made? I'm not sure they want JM working through the progressions.

Coaches call plays that they feel the players can execute. It should be obvious to those watching that the play callers hands are tied to some degree. It feels like they are absolutely terrified to throw the ball into the middle of the field, which defenses seem to have figured out. Coaches...

College football is not the NFL. Yes, there are countless arguments that have merit that says it pretty much is, but it is not on paper. If the powers that be want to officially recognize that the P5 is really just an NFL development league and that the players have zero obligation to academics...
