My sports TV watching is almost only CFB, and some baseball when nothing else is happening.  The rest is "well I may watch this for a while".  Or not.

The way CFB seems to be headed that could lessen quite a bit as well.

Golf is a terrible spectator sport.

Golf is a terrible spectator sport.

You need to go to the Waste Management golf tournament in Phoenix. It is a pretty wild event. Though the spectating is on the spectators. Definitely not your traditional quiet crowd.

I think it's great that we have so many options for entertainment, mostly.  The wife and I were walking in the park Sunday, beautiful day, and a lot of folks were out and about.  And, as you can guess, a large percentage of young folks were walking about with their nose in their phone.

It's great they got out of their apartment, but really?!?!?!

I think that if the "don't walk" sign is on at a crosswalk, and the person who goes anyway is on their phone, the driver who hits them should get reimbursed for the dents on his car.

The driver is probably on his phone also.  I see every day a driver sitting in the left turn lane on his phone, and not going when the light changes.

I use my cell more as a home phone than anything else.  I often don't carry it when I'm out.  Leave a message.

This is me, unless I'm on work time. I only have one phone - no extensions at work as I don't really have a base anymore. So, my cell is my home is my work.

If we didn't have a playoff, we'd have some split NCs on occasion, and no doubt some minor polls would have their own "champion" (the UCF NC).

I'd be OK with any of that personally.  I'm OK with what we have now.  I wonder if we had an 8 team playoff if we'd see some "split NCs".  The AP/UPI would not be under any onus to agree with the outcome and crown the playoff champion as the Number One.

I can see situations where they might well not.

And I'd be okay with that, too.

Most folks seem to want to "NFL college football".  The 8 team playoff is rather popular, as you all know.  It would generate more money, almost certainly, but there is also resistance among important folks.  More money usually means things happen, but not in this case.  i think the various bowls have some influence in all of this.

The bowls "left out" would be NIT'd.

There is no noun that cannot be verbed.

OK, so Mr. "I'm taking this thread off-topic" decides to back on topic.

Well done!

Or something... ;)

It is interesting that in the pre-BCS system, OU would have a chance at the NC, like they do this year.  




Say what you want about the old system, but it HAD to be frustrating to be #2 behind a #1 team who only had to beat #11 or #8 or whatever, due to conference-bowl tie-ins.
