With NIL, transfer and Saban retiring, I was hoping for real changes with more teams having a shot at the championship, but here we are again with Ohio State, Alabama and Georgia at the top and State sucks. Rinse and repeat. I almost stopped watching because of it several years back. Very disheartening.
Here We Are Again
- Thread starter Boosh
- Start date
IU, Vandy and OM, traditional doormats, are in good shape to me the CFB playoff. Getting to the playoff will be much easier; only 3-4 will have a realistic chance of winning it though (this year - Bama, TOSU, UGA, IU, TAMU).
That would be Ohio State.
Not laughable, that is a really good football team that has that refuse to lose mentality. Ohio State is still the team to beat.
It’s a lot better than it was. Will be interesting to see rev sharing impact as well before throwing in the towel
Playing a 3 win team close will hurt them in the post season. Regular season mistakes always come back to bite you in the butt in the post season.
Huh? How will a close win hurt them in the postseason? Or is my sarcasm meter broken?
When the standard you’ve set during the season is broken in one game, it will cost you in the end.
You realize you can say that about most teams this year?
Bama has a loss to a bad FSU team.
A&M barely beat Arkansas
Ole Miss has struggled with multiple bad teams
Georgia barely escaped Auburn and Florida
Literally Ohio state is the only team that hasn’t had a scare yet.
The same teams will likely win the title, yes. But many more teams now have hope, there’s no denying that, and it’s made the games more interesting.
Let's be honest about ole Miss. They have had a really easy schedule. Sometimes its luck in scheduling.
No doubt, but in the Portal/NIL era what you think may be a tough schedule may turn out to be easier than expected and vice versa.
We could very easily be a two loss team and it come down to the Egg Bowl for a playoff spot. At the beginning of the year, our schedule was considered to be very hard.
What's great about the portal, next year we might strike gold and the teams we play strike crap out of the portal, and we end up with a favorable schedule. Every school will almost have a different roster going into the new season.
