We'll see 9-3 teams of course in a 24 team playoff, maybe even an 8-4 on occasion.

Whatever, I guess, life goes on, for a while.  A question I ponder is what would cause me to treat CFB the way I treat the NFL ... which is nearly no attention.  Probably so long as UGA does well I'll follow along, I am a subshine kind of fan.

I used to watch the Braves nearly every night on TBS when they were awful though.  Losing didn't matter at all, and winning a game now and then was a rush.

I won't stop watching, but the stakes are going to be so much lower I won't keep checking my phone or have as many must see games.  If we are talking almost entire top 25 in, these top games are going to be similar to basketball and I have never felt those were particularly important.  At least 12 made a second loss feel very worrisome.

Or South Florida (AAU school).

I never knew Tampa was South Florida until we moved here.

The further North you go...

Well tOSU/LSU played for all the marbles that season and they were parked at 1 & 4 in that ranking,so not real bad in hindsight

I'm going to consider the regular-season #1 team the national champion.  The rest is just "Winter Madness" and Sally from HR can win the bracket challenge, basing her picks on cutest mascot.

Ruining a thing in the pursuit of an extra dollar.  The American way.

We're headed there again November 24, at least we have plans to go.  Aspects of France are great in my view.    OTOH, my wife does not want to live there, which perhaps tells us something.

France is on fire right now. Everyone who doesn't like it here should move there.
