Posting memorable and impactful college football games that would’ve been just another forgettable crazy game that fades out of memory with a 24 team playoff

@SkoldenDomer @DouglasTS @RossDellenger Indiana didn’t even have a top 30 talent roster. To act like they won because of some massive spend vs an incredible job of coaching and development is an entirely disingenuous argument with no evidence other than Mark Cuban being a celebrity. Every P4 program has billionaires

Without Congressional action, Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua says a "super league" is inevitable. "You’re going to only have a small number of universities who can invest to field a nationally competitive football team."

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 People don’t tune in when wins and losses don’t matter. I already proved this with college basketball but you keep moving the goalposts because “theyre different” so I’m not gonna argue with you

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 It seems appropriate you want to end this discussion after what you just said in that first paragraph. So in your mind, people aren’t going to tune into games that have playoff relevance because the amount of losses said team has? It’s clear you have no clue what you are saying

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 Adding 8-4 Iowa to the playoff is going to prevent people from tuning into regular season games of teams they’re not fans of because those games are no longer significant. It’s clear you don’t care about or even want a high quality regular season, have a good day 👋🏻

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 One also plays13-15 games while the other plays around 40. One also has to go against its professional counterpart nightly, the other not nearly as much. You are delusional to think adding 5 more playoff matchups is going to prevent people from tuning into good matchups reg szn

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 The sports are different because one has 13 person rosters and the other has 105 team rosters. Talent is more evenly distributed and basketball games have more randomness than football None of that negates the negative impact an all-inclusive playoff has to their regular season

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 It’s also thee professional sport in a country that doesn’t have near the options we do in sports as a whole. It’s the nfl over there. My problem isn’t you comparing CFB and CBB. It’s stating the leagues are different when it’s convenient to your argument.

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 Okay fine I’ll compare it to the sport with the highest ratings on the planet. The English Premier League plays 44 games with NO POSTSEASON AT ALL, it’s on 2-3 nights/week from August-May and dominates any American League from a viewership AND tradition standpoint.

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 You admit they are completely different. WTF do you mean what can you compare them to? CBB teams play almost 3x the games. It’s that scarcity in football that helps contribute to those ratings. CBB can’t compare because it’s on every night from Nov until March.

@YahooSports Key problem, one that CFP of 24 solves best. Just eliminating CCGs is non-viable due to loss of $$. CFP of 16 doesn't add enough. Like the size or not, CFP of 24 works best.

A college football national champion won't be crowned until January 25 👀 Conference championship weekend wraps up almost two months beforehand 😨

@5thDownCFB Let’s add 8 more games and another round of playoffs… that’ll solve the problem

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 No it’s because the games don’t have any bearing on the season. You can lose almost half your games and still make the sweet 16 like Texas just did. Saying that I can’t compare the two most popular college sports is outrageous lol wtf do you want me to compare it to?

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 You admit it’s two different sports. One of the big reasons CBB ratings aren’t grand is because there are 30+ games. A team can literally play 3 regular season games in 7 days. Comparing the two isn’t similar.

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 In one breath you bring up how it’s hurting the regular season in basketball and in the next breath you say they are different sports. Like come on dude, it’s not hurting the regular season. If anything it gives more team chances which will help ratings.

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 That’s not going to kill ratings, if anything that’s likely going to drive them up. And the committee subjectiveness loses its power the more teams that are in. I mean Miami was the last team in and made the championship game.

@blinkinriley What does more games have to do with the date of the national championship? If anything expansion makes this more likely right? Why not just fix the schedule rather than double the playoff field?

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 March Madness is certainly unmatched as one of the best postseasons. But basketball and football are different sports. And college football is the best regular season in American sports. I don’t want to ruin that for a few more mediocre teams to get into the postseason

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 I think playoff implications whether it be to make it or seeding won’t fade anything.A breakaway would fade interest. College bball has 30+ games. College football is only guaranteed 12.That’s a huge difference.While NCAA tourney is still thought of as one of the best postseasons

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 I think national interest will fade for games outside their region without playoff implications on the line. College basketball still has good matchups in the regular season but it’s pointless. Everybody makes the conference tournament and every contender makes March Madness

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 I honestly get they don’t want to have to pay for more shitty matchups/games. But I don’t see how adding even 10 more teams in the postseason hurts their massively successful ratings boon they had for those 13 weekends. As long as matchups are there, they’ll still get ratings.

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 Fair. ESPN still owns the most valuable properties. Imo they’re simply trying to protect the value of their much greater catalog of content which is 13 already negotiated weekends of regular season football plus multiple conference championship games

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 Yup my apologies, I misunderstood. Only the new games go for bid. I was thinking the whole thing goes up if it expands past 14. My mistake.

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 Wait why would ESPN lose later rounds? That’s not what happens here lol I think you’ve misunderstood how this all works. It’s only the new games that are open for negotiation, and ESPN still gets first bid if they want them.

@SavingCFB @BradPowers7 It takes an ounce of critical thinking to come to conclusion a 24 team CFP takes away valuable later round matchups ESPN currently owns/broadcasts. Them being ok with 16 which adds to those “terrible first round matchups” pretty much proves this.

@ralphieboywvu @BradPowers7 Because ESPN has a vested interest in the value of the REGULAR SEASON. The added playoff games won’t get better ratings than conference championship games… half the current 1st rd playoff games got terrible ratings

@keowee403 @ugacdawg @BradPowers7 Some people have apparently found some clause where if it goes past 16 teams the remaining games get put out to bid… so they’ve convinced themselves ESPN/SEC is just trying to hold everyone down
