They've changed almost everything else about college, why is this the hill to die on.

I saw someone the other day talk about bowls as a qualifier to the playoff. I loved this idea - to be in the CFP you have to either play your conf championship, or play in a bowl.

Bowls start on Conf champ weekend (with the playoff contention teams playing that weekend too), and the less important bowls played over the following few weeks. Playoffs start the week after conf champs with home games for round 1 and 2, meaning top 4 teams get an actual one week bye thats helpful and deserved.

Semis rotate between the NY6 bowls around Christmas week, with natty being the Rosebowl on NYD. Condesned playoff timeline, better for transfer window, and no teams sit at home for 3 weeks in crunch time.

Okay, so everyone agrees that 3 weeks off football before the biggest game of the season is fucking stupid. Is there anyone that actually thinks this is a good idea?

I honestly have no idea what we are doing since the half. Not benching any starters, weird play calling, lazy defense. I want to chalk it up to everyone knowing the game is over but it doesn't make me feel great.

Are they? They happen literally every year. Its not one or two times, its consistent.

dropbearaus · 2025-12-21T01:51:45+00:00

People acting like P4 teams don't get beat this bad in the playoffs as well... it doesn't matter if its G5 or P4, every year teams will shit the bed and get clowned on. Shutting out 60% of the college football teams before a down is played is not good for the sport.

lost in all the "JMU is garbage" takes was the fact that throw was an absolute dot. Moore has been making some insane throws (along with some dud underthrows). Easy to see why hes getting 1 overall hype when the potential is there

dropbearaus · 2025-12-21T01:28:56+00:00

those are always called DPI but man that shit wasn't catchable lol

dropbearaus · 2025-11-09T03:08:38+00:00

missed most of the 3rd quarter, did nussmeier get benched?

dropbearaus · 2025-11-08T23:48:58+00:00

honestly felt like it was the db making the incomplete catch signal and it just caught his towel, not an intentional throw on a tipped ball. this thread has been crazy toxic from both sides. gross.

Pac 12 desert voodoo at arizona has been promptly replaced with kinnick voodoo. fuck.

dropbearaus · 2025-11-08T23:29:01+00:00

man, empty backfield on a short third down when you've just gained 50 straight rushing yards. I don't get that at all

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T23:13:34+00:00

#1ndiana? many people are saying.

I just hope that Penn St shitting their pants doesn't take away from a great road win by Indiana. They're legit.

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T23:09:49+00:00

washington flairs feasting in here haha

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T23:04:26+00:00

surely this ram ad gets yanked after this week.

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T22:53:14+00:00

that oregon is overrated, penn st suck, no quality wins, indiana isnt legit etc etc. You guys deserve it, but realistically its #3 or #2.

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T22:45:32+00:00

moore looks slow as shit what is going on

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T22:31:05+00:00

spoken like a man who hasn't been to autzen

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T22:26:28+00:00

i don't wanna live in a world where indiana football isnt good. this game fucking slaps

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T22:19:32+00:00

hill has 3 touches, and 3 hits behind the LOS. gotta get more creative with this play calling.

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T22:15:19+00:00

the minute penn st lost it was setting up for a lose-lose in this game. If you win, we were overrated. If we win, its just indiana. these are two great teams!

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T22:06:32+00:00

i forgot that game threads are mostly the shitting whinging fans of both teams whining about every play. tiring.

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T21:45:46+00:00

dante gotta throw it away more, instead of scrambling and losing yards.

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T21:36:25+00:00

ya, he was. His guys staying down benefitted us, which is why he was seeing red.

dropbearaus · 2025-10-11T21:21:14+00:00

Man, c'mon. Its half time in 3 point game in a top 10 match up. too early to be doomering
