    Pros and Cons with the new playoff system

    I like the idea of hosting the first round at some home fields, but if future results continue like it did this year then I have to wonder what the point is. One obvious problem is Boise & ASU being 3 & 4. This pushed the actual 3 & 4 teams down to 5 & 6, and hosting home game in the first...

    CFP Title Game Draws 22 Million Viewers, Down 12% From Last Year

    I don't know if it counts, but I watched on the Skyview channel so I didn't have to listen to Chris Folwer. Best decision I've ever made.

    Baltimore going for 2 in the 3rd quarter comes back to bite them. Never go for 2 in the 3rd quarter, unless you are so far behind that you need multiples of 8s to catch up. Too much game is left. Getting tired of posting this.

    Was he injured? I admit I don't watch a lot of Penn State... but the announcers were talking about how great his arm is, however he rarely went downfield in this game and when he tried he was mostly terrible. 1 INT plus two more on lob balls overturned by penalty. If I'm reading the box...

    When Penn state's quarterback throws deep, he looks like a schoolyard kid playing a game of 500, just lobbing the ball up as high as he can for anyone to get

    It's pretty hard to be critical of KOC at all, but he seemed oblivious to Darnold's struggles tonight. KOC should have dialed things back with more runs and short/quick passes to get Darnold into a better rhythm, but he just kept dialing up more long pass plays. It's like telling a batter who...

    This is the story of the game. If our offensive has a weakenss it's pass protections. Detroit did everything they could to exploit this, and they did by getting all kinds of pressure on Darnold, and we consistently responded with... long-developing passing plays. We just kept sending Darnold...

    The NCAA is considering allowing five years of eligibility for players in all sports moving forward, per an NCAA official.

    I predicted this more than once. Who is the NCAA to say how long someone can play college athletics? College is turning into another pro League. The logical step of the future will be for non-students to be allowed to play.

    Terrible play calling by O'Connell. Darnold is obviously off, and our coach is trying to have him pass his way out of his funk. Which you can't do when you can't protect him. We need more screens or quick hitters to counter Detroit's pressure to help Darnold find himself.

    When was the last time there were this many Gophers in the NFL? Seems like every game I watch I see someone, which is seriously at odds with history.

    I agree with this. To me it looked like the Texas guy was just trying to make a normal play and heads just ended up in the wrong spot. You also have to consider the speed at which that happens, people are in the air... I didn't see anything malicious about it.

    This has been a gripe of mine for years. Football is a game of substitutions and injuries. If you want to occasionally run a quick play to try to catch the other team off guard, then fine. But real teams will be able to beat you man-to-man without resorting to that. If you're going to complain...

    First play of the drive their QB ran backwards a bunch before getting sacked. They mostly recovered from that, but had a 4th and 1. Think of Iowa's offense the past few years, and then take that same level of ineptitude and channel it into a QB sneak. That was their final offensive play.
