CFP Thread

Just curious what you believe the difference in KSU/ISU is to make that statement in the circumstances that exist.

One coach retired, another took a different job, and their respective successors are each coaching the team they have been employed by in the playoffs/bowl games.

Maybe I'm giving a different impression of K-State fans--I'm in the minority, at least among the very loud people that have voiced their learned opinions online--in supporting declining this year.

My basic thought was that a coach who is retiring can finish coaching out the season. Unless he isn’t actually retiring and is instead getting fired.

And I should say, if ISU was in position to send enough of a roster and staff, I think it would be good to do it. My guess was that they may not be in that position.

Some of the punctuation has me a little confused. You are fine with declining, but most people aren’t? Or the other way around?

This one always rang hollow to me.  The state champs and runners-up in Texas high school football have played 15 games since before I was born.

Not to mention D3, the players that actually GO to class.

I feel the same.  Kansas State opting out makes zero sense.  Their coach can still coach the game.  But then again, 11 5-7 teams also opted out, so maybe get rid of bowls

Money is the root of much evil.

"Love of money" is how 1 Tim. 6:10 puts it.

Looking at the bracket made it clear that the Badgers had a very tough schedule. They played 4 teams out of those 12.

Corngratulations

If I was the HC of a 5-7 team, I'd decline, just out of principle.

I understand that.  Especially if you're accustomed to playing in bowls

if you've worked your way up to 5-7 from less than that, it's a great opportunity

[Brutus Buckeye]

If Fro got one season as interim HC of the Gators, and he went 5-7, he'd take the bowl game.

You can give me a lot of your money.....you know.....just in case you need less evil in your life.

Yup dicey prospects but a chance I'm willing to take

I don't have enough to be evil with it.

If it makes zero sense to you, you haven't delved very far into the circumstances.

I don't have time today.  Fitz said a lot of things I have been saying.  Independently, of course.
