I logged in to ESPN+ just in time to miss that game. Sounds like it was a great one.

There were several upsets today. Seems like there's a lot more parity at the top of D3 unlike a decade ago where Mount Union and Whitewater dominated every year with a few others like UMHB or North Central popping here and there. I get the feeling more schools are placing more emphasis on...

The CFP doesn't ensure the best 12 teams are in the playoffs, but it does ensure at least the best 8 or more make the playoff (the best teams according to the CFP). Let's say hypothetically that the CFP believes the SEC has the top 8 teams in the country and ranked them that way (I know...

I don't care what anyone says, mock me, but Army should get a bid to the CFP, blowing the doors off Tulane in the conference championship. Just cuz.

I think this is why the CFP stipulated that the top 5 "ranked" conference champions get an auto bid and only the top 4 ranked champions get a bye. If a 3-loss champion won their Power-4 conference (highly unlikely), they probably wouldn't get a bye and might not even make the tournament...

The simple fact is that QB is now a portal position. 10 of the top 13 BG10 QBs in yards are past or present portal players.

Was the guy a late bloomer? It looks like Nebraska and three MAC teams were his only FBS offers.

Even though your comment is fully tongue-in-cheek, it holds a kernel of truth. There's a point where the conference championship games could become a secondary thought for those with national championship aspirations. Kind of like the last games in the NFL season where playoff teams have already...

Case in point... "If our team all got COVID today and didn't play we're in."

The portal/NIL, both for getting new players and retaining quality players that might have been better than their star-ratings (Ersery is the perfect example), is just as important as the HS incoming class.

I agree. I think the conference championships made more sense under the bowl game system but a lot less sense now with the expanded play offs.

Lol. It's tough to argue with this.

Interesting thought.

This makes sense. I mean, the selection process used to pick teams to play in the championship game is already somewhat arbitrary and uses multiple levels of tie breakers. It's just another game. Oregon is undefeated in conference but they still have to play Penn State which gets selected over...

“How can it be a detriment for someone to play in a conference championship game?” ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said. “If you want to kill the conference championship games, have somebody who is within the top 12 play for a championship and have them fall out and be leapfrogged.”...

This is a weird year for college football.

Get back to me after the Game 3 Cal game so I have a feeling for the QB and O Line play. If it was this year's Gophers in the second half of the season, I'd say 3-0 Nonconference, and 6-3 Conference

He needs to be really coached up if that’s the case.

Minnesota is a #3 seed in that tournament. I'd watch.

I totally forgot about Nebraska. They should be in the Rate or Pinstripe, but the hungry fanbase might make them more attractive to a higher bowl.
