College Football’s 12-Team Playoff Finally Arrived—and It Was a Complete Dud
Nothing new here. When I was in high school, the only school that advanced to the playoffs was the district champion. For whatever reason, the UIL allows 4 teams today. Majority of lower seeds almost always get blown out in the first round. Same with the NCAA basketball tournament that expanded from around 12 back in the 70's to 65 or 66. Most result in blowouts. I agreed with a modest expansion but not the current 65. They are now talking about over 70. Everything is 100% about money and the quality of the product left some time ago. -

SMUt getting owned by State
All the first round games were basically blowouts. Who cares what people thought going in EXCEPT Vegas. Texas -11 vs Clemson PSU -8.5 vs SMU Ohio State -7.5 vs Tennessee Notre Dame -6.5 vs Indiana I think Indiana being a long bus ride away from Notre Dame was the only reason the game was more competitive than the others. And I turned off that game early partly because in the trenches, it didn’t look competitive early on. Hell I think Army might have been more competitive than SMU. But they subjectively chose (before the Army vs Navy game) Conference Championship game loser over Conference Championship game winner and everyone debating Alabama. 🙄. Utter BS. -

If everything will go the way you think it will go then why do we play the games or even schedule games with spreads over 14 points? The underdogs in College Football are in a perpetual no win situation. Get the upset there in the regular season are a ton of excuses and devaluation of what your program accomplished. Close loss then the naysayers devalue that also (SMU vs Clemson and the push to shoe in Alabama a team that lost to the Tennessee team that got blown out by Ohio State). I want teams to prove it on the field. And since the big brand teams have always been invested in scheduling the easiest path to the post season. NOT EVEN APPEARING in your conference championship game should be majorly punitive. So I don’t give a crap what people think Alabama (or anyone else would do). They lost to Vandy and a bad OU team. And they could have scheduled a decent FBS team instead of home scrimmages against Western Kentucky and Mercer. Or they could kept a SEC conference membership where they play more than half of the teams in the conference in a season. The worst aspect of boxing that killed it popularity was the ranking organizations a chicken hearted scheduling. I hate subjectivity in sports that have easy scoring rules. And putting in a team that didn’t appear in their conference championship game in a better playoff position than a conference champion or championship game loser is 100% based on subjectivity if the teams did not play head to head and have the same win/loss record. Maybe I will be in the minority of College Football fans over 35. But I will have no interest in the opening round of CFP if they start routinely subjectively punishing Conference Champions over teams that failed to appear in their conference title game. Go look at the SEC standings; even arguing Alabama over Ole Miss getting that spot is subjective garbage. Both are 9-3 overall and 5-3 in SEC play. But almost universally people are lamenting Alabama not being included. The stupidity and greed of the SEC had border state rivals in the same conference not play each other this year. 🙄. To me that is the outrage. Maybe if they had played each other we one of them would be in the playoff and SMU fans couldn’t have had a reasonable protest if that happened.- 2

Chris Jimmerson
I already wonder how long he's going to stay anyway. Is he expected to challenge P-barger for the starting position? If not, do we expect him to take the job in year 2 or would it be more likely that EM brings in another experienced QB. Whatever we do, I don't want ANY consideration regarding lost eligibility to factor into whether he plays or not. Edit: I posted before seeing this which is definitely good news.
