2024 College Football Playoffs

[T-Boone]

I don't agree, there were plenty of BCS title games and CFP games when it was four teams that were blowouts. Blowouts were the norm, in fact. I do think traveling north probably affected SMU and UT.

the only improvement is that there are these on campus games but it seems to me that the top 4 don't actually get those (Georgia plays in New Orleans) which is lunacy. A top 8 with no bye would be better.

There were lots of blowouts with the 4-team Playoff too

Then why would we want expanded playoffs?

 

[Irishdawg]

It was the norm

The largest in the title game… UGA 65-TCU 7.

Is Kiffen tweeting about how one sided this game is?

Kiffin is tweeting that UT doesn’t belong in the CFP

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Because the fifth and sixth ranked teams completed like Ole Miss.

I assumed it was Boise who had to pay their players from going into the portal before their game, but maybe it was Tenn?

 

[NDRock]

Wow. I would have punted

 

[DomerInHappyValley]

Tennessee just wants to get back to the locker room.

 

[AKRowdy]

Is it just me or does Tennessee look slow?

With the heat on high!!

 

[NDPhilly]

Where was this offense for OSU all year? Did they just not trust Howard, or just wanted to run the ball since they’re probably paying a fortune for that backfield,

 

[Huntr]

Wow. I would have punted

I was thinking Day should be shot if he punts in + territory while up 21-0.

 

[NDRock]

They’re just very cold.

 

[Dale]

Tennessee and Texas were vaunted defenses throughout SEC play. Exposed today.

Tennessee D has no team speed.

Turns out a conference of awful QBs maybe made some defenses look better than they are

 

[Irishdawg]

Is it just me or does Tennessee look slow?

Just to freakin cold for them

I have a bad feeling that Ohio State is going to win the whole thing.

 

[DillonHall]

Because it makes the entire season way more exciting

This looks like a good P4 team against a middle of the road FCS team. Yes, Tennessee looks slow

 

[NDRock]

I was thinking Day should be shot if he punts in + territory while up 21-0.

Ha. To me, the only way Tennessee is going to do anything is from a turnover or some other gift but I’m glad he got it.

 

[DillonHall]

Ohio State and Georgia are still the two most talented teams in the country

 

[ab2cmiller]

8 team playoff would still do the same. Certainly ZERO reason to expand it to 16.

 

[Huntr]

no way was he in bounds

 

[IrishTusker]

Talent wins games.

 

[NDPhilly]

Tennessee is number 17 In the 247 team talent composite, and there average player rating is also 17 (89.5).

If anything, they’ve outperformed this year considering how Nico hasn’t lived up to expectations yet. Typically with a roster like that you need Really strong quarterback Play to be a top 10 team.

 

[Huntr]

man, i hate fowler and herbstreit so much. Total lunkheads.

 

[NDFAN2008]

God can we recruit a WR like smith

 

[dad4aa]

Ohio State and Georgia are still the two most talented teams in the country

Yet both are very beatable on any given Saturday.

 

[IrishLax]

That is incredibly obvious PI. Tennessee bailed out.

 

[DillonHall]

I agree, I think 8 would've been perfect. Hopefully they won't expand past 12.

My original point was Playoff blowouts were not a new phenomenon due to the expansion to 12
