Why does a great game need to have elimination stakes? Bama Georgia was great. Texas Ohio state was great. Oregon Ohio state in 2024 was great. None of them had elimination stakes
we donāt need every game all year to be an elimination game or have bigger ramifications. Letās just watch great football games all year because they are great football games. Just like we always have
I never once turned on a game on a Saturday in October because someone was going to be eliminated. Not in 1990, not in the BCS era, not in the CFP4 era, and not now. I turned on that game because it was a game featuring great teams that I couldnāt wait to watch
We are replacing 4 neutral site CVGs and 6 neutral site bowl games with 12 extra on campus playoff games.
Thatās a big win to me
Is this new system perfect? No. There are things I would change. But the current system isnāt perfect either. Nor was the one before or the one before that or the ones before that. There has never been a perfect system in CFB
Iām just excited we are giving more fanbases more reasons to stay engaged and we are getting more quality on campus football games going forward.

Why do SEC teams get immunity, just why
Not a single team stayed put in this weekās AP Top 25.
Miami is No. 1 for the first time since 2002 and BYU climbs to No. 2 after a historic weekend of upsets. See where your team landed: apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-colā¦

Great perspective, Doug. It immediately puts a bias on the replay officials that they need to be convinced what was called didnāt happen. In so many examples yesterday, they ignored blatant evidence to the contrary of the original call to āspeed up the reviewā

We just witnessed the best Saturday in college football history. And some critics want to tell you we are going to lose them if we expand. Hereās why we wonāt. In fact the opposite is true. Weāll get even more.
Yesterday was the perfect day of college football. Epitomized everything we love about the sport. And the size of the playoff did not matter one bit. Great games and epic upsets are incredible theatre in and of themselves.

Sunday Thoughts: In yesterday's madness, we didn't really think about CFP impact.
BYU's biggest home win ever, Tennessee cigars, Auburn rolls Toomer's Corner, Texas crisis.
We love the sport for the games and those feelings, not the postseason. Whatever's next, don't lose that.

Still can't get over that @oregonfootball game-winning drive š¦

Iāve said for years the idea that replay has to defer to the call on the field is the fundamental flaw with replay
Once a play is sent to replay it should be as if no call on the field even exists and replay should make the best available call with the evidence they have
Why are we deferring to the call on the field which is just as likely to be wrong as it is right? Thereās no logic in it
The idea of looking to overturn or not is the wrong goal. The goal of replay should be the same goal we use in real time: make the best possible call

You can hate playoff expansion amd not want 3 and 4 loss teams in the brackets, while knowing it wont really dampen the regular season eyeballs and the feels of big brand games.

Yes. Let's eliminate half the country in week one. Let's eliminate 85% of the country with 7 games to go. Or we can have 35-40 teams still alive in November. I wonder which is better? Eliminating the entire field by mid-October or keeping as many teams alive as long as possible?
Also remember that the CFP will also collect and distribute all the additional ticket revenue on the 12 new on campus games. That will add an additional $100m - $150m per year as well

My actual feelings about the 24-team with no sarcasm or trolling.
I didn't need it.
I don't particularly want it.
I don't think this is some existential crisis for the sport.
I don't think this kills the regular season. The regular season you fear you're losing has been dead for a while now.
This won't save the sport.
It won't kill the sport.
It'll change the sport. You'll adapt to it.
Then it will change again, and you'll adapt to that too.

On The Death of the Regular Season
On Dec. 3, 2023, the College Football Playoff selection committee left an undefeated Power Four conference champion out of a 4-team College Football Playoff. The regular season you're mourning hasn't existed for a while now. We've spent the last two years hearing arguments and debates about why certain 9-3 teams deserve a spot in a 12-team field over some 11-1 and 10-2 teams.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be against a 24-team field, or that it won't impact the sport in many different ways. But the idea that the regular season has been killed is just a Pavlovian response at this point.
