Approaching two years and still not one brave MAGA has stepped forward to claim their $1,000,000 reward for evidence of voter fraud.

@TheColbyD Ravens-Steelers week 19 Seahawks-49ers week 19 Freaking amazing College rivals would be like those on steroids

They still don't get it. Rivalry week with playoffs on the line only make rivalry week better. Think West Virginia Pitt Backyard Brawl in 07. Every year your rivals have a chance to end your season. These excuses are all pathetic

@WC38073 @brettachapman @L_Dino21 @flatland_sports Something like this 1 super conference/league Make 16-24 4 team divisions 12 games: Each division plays itself (3) plus two other divisions (8), and 1 rivalry/legacy opponent (1) Win your division you make the playoffs. 8 best records of 2nd place teams make the playoffs

@brettachapman @L_Dino21 @Plubius5 @flatland_sports Go back to regional conferences and have the conference champions play a playoff.

I know it's hard for a casual sports fan to understand, but the regular season determines who actually makes it into March Madness. It matters a lot. Especially to college basketball fans

@rock22_j @LanceVanExel @USFBullsTboned Because now more than 4-12 teams will have a shot at making the playoffs. Especially if conference finish/place is used. Then late season games really matter. More teams in = more teams with a chance and more teams with an opportunity to play spoiler

@LanceVanExel @Plubius5 @USFBullsTboned How can you say regular season will matter when every ranked team will make it in the PO, that’s 5 4 loss teams making it via 2025. And If every teams goal is to win a ring then they need realistic expectations. Only one team can do it. That 2nd statement confuses me.

One hell of a visual. How would this destroy college football? More teams making the playoffs means more meaningful games in the regular season for more teams.

@CFBKings Yeah, they’re good. They don’t miss bowl eligibility either.

People out there are actually arguing for a format where Ohio State, Georgia, and Alabama NEVER miss the College Football Playoff. This line from Bill Connelly is perfectly stated: “These teams might play games with genuine you’re-in-or-out stakes only once a decade or so.” That is not remotely, in any way, close to what College Football should be. In addition to OSU/UGA/Alabama: • Clemson has finished ranked in the 14 of the past 15 years. • Notre Dame has finished ranked in 12 of the past 14 years. • Oklahoma has finished ranked in 22 of the past 26 years. • Oregon has finished ranked in 15 of the past 19 years. All in the College Football playoff almost annually with an extremely rare occurrence of ever playing “do-or-die” game. And an example of that “do-or-die game for CFP hopes” is literally 3-4 Clemson vs. 4-3 Duke last year. Clemson lost, dropped their 5th game of the year, and was eliminated. Anyone arguing for that system to be put in place HATES College Football.

@rock22_j @LanceVanExel @USFBullsTboned If you don’t think making the playoffs is a big deal push for your school to boycott if they’re not ranked top 4. UCLA grad here, I have not cared about a season in a long time because best we could do is some random meaningless exhibition 5 weeks after the season ended

@LanceVanExel @Plubius5 @USFBullsTboned What are you saying? That Cignetti didn’t have an impact by bringing in players from his prev tenure, that players didn’t develop from the year prior, mind u no important piece left that yr.. what big push financial wise did Indiana make different from the year prior?

@flatland_sports Alabama and other SEC teams could go 8-0, 7-1, 7-1, 7-1 because they were too big to play everyone Meanwhile Pac10 had to have multiple loss teams because they played everyone

One problem with the old post season format is it hurt teams in tougher conferences that beat each other up all season. The Pac 12 was incredibly strong going into the 2010s but continued to cannibalise itself until the perception of the conference eventually changed. Meanwhile, Alabama is able to dominate the SEC for a decade and it lifted the conference as a whole.

@flatland_sports SEC/Big 12 teams have LOST their conference title or not even played for a conference championship & leapfrogged Pac10 teams Late 90’s pretty normal for an SEC team to get smacked by a Pac10 team. BCS system lead to the myth of the SEC. Then it became a self-fulfilling prophecy

You and I both know, had that exact scenario unfolded with an SEC team, not only are they in but probably the #1 overall seed being an undefeated SEC champion. Get out of here with that nonsense

@brucekenerson1 @scott_pianowski Some tree lined tee boxes can eliminate angles off the tee as well. Local course has the tips deep in the woods. Only shot out is straight.

@scott_pianowski The R&A and the USGA changed the rule (I think 10-15 years ago) that there can be no “in course” OB. The ball needs to go off the property to be considered OB. I personally don’t agree. If a course wants to toughen up, add some OB stakes.

I wouldn't mind out of bounds making a comeback. Too many courses allow hitting a shot so far offline you actually have an angle to continue without real penalty.

@L_Dino21 @flatland_sports Something like this 1 super conference/league Make 16-24 4 team divisions 12 games: Each division plays itself (3) plus two other divisions (8), and 1 rivalry/legacy opponent (1) Win your division you make the playoffs. 8 best records of 2nd place teams make the playoffs

@Plubius5 @flatland_sports Which is why ultimately the sport has to reorganize itself. In HS and NFL is you win your district/division and you're in the postseason. College now has way too large of conferences. Things need to be realigned.

@paulstonesports @CollegeFBonX They have that. Who won the last 3 National Titles? Who won the Pop Tarts bowl… ever

@CollegeFBonX I say go to 24 teams. Don't keep score. And everybody gets a trophy at the end!!

If you’re in favor of a 16 team or 24 team college football playoff let me hear your argument for it.

@flatland_sports Herbstreit works for ESPN/SEC

Exactly. The Big 10 is supposedly P2 but even Indiana wasn't immune to Kirk Herbstreit ranting about how they didn't deserve to be in the playoff over a more deserving 9-3 SEC team (right after Tennessee was just blown out by Ohio State)

@Buckeye__Mike @greendragonhq Who was the last republican president to leave the country economically better than they found it? Who was the last Democratic president to not do that ?

@greendragonhq Thanks for acknowledging demonrats suck and are responsible for violent crime and poverty. If you live in a demonrat city, have the day you voted for! LOL!

10 of 11 states with the highest poverty rates are Republican lead. Have the day you voted for! 🔴Louisiana — ~18.7–19.6% 🔴Mississippi — ~17.8–19.4% 🔵New Mexico — ~17.8–18.5% 🔴West Virginia — ~16.7–16.8% 🔴Kentucky — ~16.4–16.5% 🔴Arkansas — ~15.7–16.3% 🔴Alabama — ~15.6–16.1%. 🔴Oklahoma — ~15.6–15.9%. 🔴South Carolina — ~14.6% 🔴Texas — ~15% 🔴Tennessee — ~13.6–14.2%

@Macbra2 @USFBullsTboned Then I guess we need to expand the playoffs to like 64 teams so FCS powers like the Citadel have a shot

@Plubius5 @USFBullsTboned You get how ridiculous you are sounding. You know it. You’re trying though, man. Yes, let’s talk about strength of schedule while you don’t actually believe in strength of schedule.

@Macbra2 @USFBullsTboned Never once did I mention SOS Never once did you answer if the SEC traditionally plays week teams in November

@Plubius5 @USFBullsTboned You just said SOS is subjective, then you are trying to supposedly dunk on the SEC for their November SOS. I know you’re trying to play dumb to get out of this, but it isn’t going to work.

@Macbra2 @USFBullsTboned Citation needed

@Plubius5 @USFBullsTboned You cannot be this stupid.

@Macbra2 @USFBullsTboned Where did I say the Citadel has a weak/strong SOS?

@Plubius5 @USFBullsTboned You just said strength of schedule is subjective. Or is that only the case when it doesn’t benefit your argument?

@Macbra2 @USFBullsTboned Citation needed.

@Plubius5 @USFBullsTboned According to you, yes.

@Macbra2 @USFBullsTboned You think The Citadel’s strength vs a 9th conference game is subjective?

@Plubius5 @USFBullsTboned Well then I’ll take that and say a “weak team” in November is subjective. Nice own goal, pal.

@Macbra2 @USFBullsTboned I’m new here: Do SEC teams historically play weak teams in November?

@Plubius5 @USFBullsTboned Congrats, you won. The SEC has moved to the 9 game conference schedule. What does it matter to you now?
