 please tell me you're not serious.
Those games are from the 60's and early 70's I'll be the first one to admit FSU wasn't shit back then. That was before being in the ACC and before Bowden.....basically before we had a football team. FSU didn't "arrive" until the late 80's. But yes, I guess your right......"they've had our number in the past"

A few drinks in.....Just came back to say our bowl selection is BS.  fuck Houston
I'm bitter. Also, my earlier prediction before the selection committee came out....I stand by it. Why? Vegas only opened FSU as a 6.5 point favorite. It's not like you are expected to blow them out. They would be 12-0 if Greg Ward didn't sit out 1 game nursing an injury. I guess well see how far off I am. 6.5 points?.....they'll cover that by mid-first quarter and never look back. FSU will be up by 3 TDs or more and then they'll pull the starters. Only thing that will hurt FSU is they really having nothing to "play for". No statements to be made by winning this game. Houston on the other hand..... Gur-ran-teeeeee they would love to put that feather in their cap of chopping down a Goliath like that from a power-5 Isn't U of H 12-2 all time against "Goliath" FSU? please tell me you're not serious.

It's the 60s and 70s all over again, it seems.

Man we're getting worked. I've tried to see the bright side all year but we have a serious deficit at QB this year, even with Golson. That should get fixed next year but this might be a long 2nd half for the Noles today. Also, first I've seen of Houston this year. Really impressed with Herman. There are a lot of teams like these where the players have chip on their shoulder because Texas, A&M, OU ext didn't even offer them. You get a coach like Herman who uses that as a development tool and you get two of the most important things a team can have. They play really hard every single down and they play for each other. The playoffs should be expanded to allow some of these teams in for no reason other than to knock off a complacent OU or Bama (or any other top ranked team) in an early round because they overlooked them. 
Yeah I know I will be in the minority on that.

I'm glad people are finally coming around to this way of thinking. I have no idea why people want to limit the number of teams in the playoffs to even 8. 32 would be awesome with a 5 game playoff. Holy shit that would be great. Limit the regular season to 10 games and only 2 teams would play the full 15. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Or Wisconsins defense vs Baylors offense. I just don't understand how the powers to be don't see that. It would bring so much interest and attention to the game and generate one helluva lot of $. |

Houston has been a legit contender this year, unfortunately they are not a sec/big 10/big 12 team so they don't get the coverage or the respect in the polls. As someone else said, only game we lost this year was without our star QB. It's been a fun year as a season ticket holder, getting to storm the field after the championship game was one of my highlights this year!  Quote HistoryQuoted:

Watching GA Southern, or the Rockets or whoever beat an Oregon or Clemson in a true playoff format would be glorious. |

Bowl games are a weird animal. Some teams come to play and some come for the festivities. Smaller schools will usually show up to play when they get a chance to prove something vs the "big boys" The only teams not dealing with this dynamic will be the 4 playoff teams. |

Like I said the last time this came up, then post even a single link, which you didnt and still havent. If it's been happening in this very thread, it should be damn easy to link to it. The only "limiting" I've seen is that some folks think 8 would be enough. But guess what? 8 > 4, so that's in fact arguing for MORE games. Hell, the entirety of the media - the very 1st year of the playoffs, thought it should be expanded to 8 or 16. ESPN showed polling data from coaches/AD and sports media, EVERYONE wanted it expanded past 4. Because 4 is retarded and still just a popularity contest. Hell, that was the whole damn narrative from everyone. That 4 isnt enough. Your whole "im the only one that ever wanted expanded" is one of the more insane things I've seen in this thread. Literally EVERYONE wanted more than 4 since its very inception. Hell, google "college football 4 enough 2014" and the hundreds of thousands of hits make it pretty clear you're full of crap. |

8 please. LOL I seriously doubt there would be many if any 5 loss teams in a Top 32 playoff bracket. Especially if there were only 10 regular season games. The Final Top 25 playoff rankings this year only had 2 teams at 8-4. Tennessee and USC. Yet the bowl games are full of 6-6 and even 5-7 teams now.
What were talking about here is 32 QUALITY teams playing in 31 of the 41 bowl games in a bracketed allignment. College Basketball does it with what? 64 teams? And it's one of the most anticipated sporting events every year. |

This houston/fsu game is making an AWESOME case for why more than 8 should happen. I would just be afraid of a 32 preventing conf champ games. If conferences could keep those, I'd be fine with a 32. Once you get that "deep" you get to see the crazy matchups that will NEVER happen outside of a deep play off. Which, btw is the exact same thing I said last year. I want to see UF vs BYU or Arizona vs Michigan or Stanford vs Miami. Stuff that under the current system, just wont ever happen. |

Bowl games are a weird animal. Some teams come to play and some come for the festivities. Smaller schools will usually show up to play when they get a chance to prove something vs the "big boys" The only teams not dealing with this dynamic will be the 4 playoff teams. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I would watch a lot less football if there were a 16+ playoff. I'd still watch Ohio state games and probably a decent number of plaoff games but not other teams regular season games. It would ruin ncaaf. "Only 5 losses, were in!!!!"
8 please. Even in a 32, which I think is too many, I doubt you'd see more than a 3 loss team get in. There are about a trillion college football teams. Especially when you include teams outside the P5. I think you could find plenty of 2-3 loss teams at the end of a slightly shortened season. However with 32, I think you would have to do away with conference championship games. Yeah... FUCK that. I think 16 would be great, you could still easily have conference championship games. But I could settle for an 8. You dont count though, you think 8 is enough. It's only been the texan calling for more. 8 is not more than 4. In all fairness I've called for 16 for a while. Especially last year. I've somewhat given up on that pipe dream and have now voiced my wishes for 8. When we get to 8 I'll jump back on the 16 bandwagon.

I'd be ok foregoing conference Champinship games to expand the playoffs. Many times those games are repeats of regular season games and are not the unique matchups you're referring to. If you look at the top 16 teams in the playoff committee rankings Houston and Baylor would both still not have qualified. We will never see 32 much less 16. 8 is probably the best we can hope for truthfully. |

More than 16 teams would be foolishness. If you look at the differences in talent and production, there is a huge gap between the top tier and the rest. Look at last year's B1!G championship: there is no question that Wisconsin was clearly the best in the West, yet the Badgers had no chance against OSU, and were crushed. That kind of gap exists in all the major conferences. There is no realistic expectation or chance for #30 to beat #3, and I would argue that we don't need to see it played out on the field. #16 and #1 is a significantly different quality matchup. Speaking as a fan of the #26 or something team, I say no thank you. Everybody saw that game back in September, and it went as expected - a blowout. I'd be satisfied with 8 and happy with 16. There's no need for more.

Like I said before, bowl games are just a different animal. I watch them every year and a lot of teams just don't show up. Whether its ring rust from the layoff, too much partying, premier players not wanting to get injured and screw up their draft chance or just a lot of nothing to play for really in most cases. I can tell you that when I was an 18-20 yo college guy that if I had went to the Bahamas Bowl and been wined and dined at celebrity level status that football would have been the farthest thing from my mind. |

Conference champs are way too big of a part of college ball to ever get rid of. It's also an integral shit talking bullet point.
FYI - for those interested starting around page 200 of last years thread... EVERYONE is talking about more than 4 teams for the final... Yet, conspicously the tinfoiled texan isnt prominently in that discussion. Instead it's conspiracy talk of the SEC not letting certain teams play Texas in a bowl game (pg 209).

Couldn't be more disgusted by the playing and play calling.
It's one thing to lose in a dog fight, it's another to just screw up everything and look lost and basically play like you don't care and gave up in the first quarter. |
