yeah maybe we should just go back to the 4 team playoff. that is f’ing ridiculous. . . .

Four would be fine with me.

I was fine with two, and did not want the expansion to four because I was sure that it would soon expand to more and more teams. And at each step, noisy advocates for further expansion would dominate the discussion.

if you want a true national regular season champion -  match the two best teams after the season.
if you want a tournament champion - see basketball

Iowa State and Kansas State just accepted $500,000 fines from the Big XII to skip a bowl game

That's sad.

How many times have I heard that the rationale for having eleventy-umpteen bowls is that teams get those priceless pre-bowl practice sessions?

ND decides not to accept any bowl invites. Good for them.

Wow. Notre Dame taking their marbles and going home in a tantrum.    Refusing to go to a Bowl.

Why good?

Seem like that, along with ISU KSU bowing out of bowl games, that would start a process of wrecking the bowl games.

Maybe I'm missing something. It wouldn't be the first time.

Opt outs already killed the bowl games. Too many bowl games killed the bowl games.

Remember, ND traditionally did not accept bowl bids up until the 70’s. I see it as strategic, since they know they would be a big draw TV wise. James Madison and Tulane will not be highly watched. Why should ESPN get their cake and it it too?  


Watch them decline all regular bowl games from here on out. As they should. And I don’t like them, but I respect them.

So they can pay a giant fine for turning down a bowl game?

Yeah I don't really get why ND would go to a bowl game. Seems pointless.
