Yea, been a huge letdown. But if Miami loses by 14+ I'll still have had a nice satisfying night.

One game got very interesting. I have ND -7.5.

Is Mohamed Toure like the Yaxel of the NCAAF? Dudes a stud but 25yrs old, I’m not sure what to make of that as a “prospect” lol

ACC officials would have given Miami two TDs for that.

Missed an obvious false start.

Texas Tech is getting screwed at the moment and I don't hate it.

Holy hell, WV. That's an amazing way to lose.

I get that things change and evolve, but looking over the past couple of decades I'm not sure a sport has gotten so much significantly worse than college football has.

I can't be upset about losing conference title games, as those were relatively new outside of the SEC. The playoff expansion is a "whatever". The main thing is they need to resolve the transfer porter/money issue. If teams fighting for those bottom playoff spots are constantly worrying about their best players being poached as soon as they have some success, the apathy outside of the top teams will continue.

ReasonablySober · Post #559 » by **ReasonablySober** » Mon Nov 9, 2026 4:42 pm

12 teams was fine. I'd argue eight would be best, but with 12 teams (really 11, with the AQ), you had just enough spots to keep the regular season interesting.

That's long gone with 24. The best regular season in sports has been rendered meaningless.

Post #560 » by **MickeyDavis** » Mon Nov 9, 2026 6:01 pm

We've talked about this before but the regular season is still meaningful imo. Top 8 get a bye followed by a home game. Next 8 get a home game. Bottom 8 trying to get into the middle tier to get the home game. 25+ trying to get into the top 24.

Getting rid of meaningless bowl games where all draft eligible guys opt out and crowds are sparse is a good thing. On campus vs. neutral cities that don't give a crap. What would be more fun the rest of this season, wondering of the Badgers can win out and sneak into the playoffs or wondering if they'll go to the Pinstripe or Pop-Tarts Bowl.

In terms of determining a national champion of course this doesn't make a difference. Neither does 12. Who cares? Give me a playoff game at Camp Randall in December instead of the Idaho Potato Bowl. Or a road playoff game in a hostile campus stadium. Much better.
