The OFFICIAL 2018 College football RANDOM THOUGHTS thread

[Sauce Dab]

Hey @smitty22 you think Haskins is a one and done or you think he's coming back?

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

Colorado fires their HC.....smh....a program that doesn't know wtf it wants to be

 

[AVXL]

And I say again....Top 6 makes perfect sense and it seems like they didn't do it on purpose to have people bicker and they milk the drama if it all.

Bama
Clemson
ND
Michigan
UGA
OU

As of right now with the current format

Bama & Clemson = 1st round byes

ND vs Mich winner play Clemson
UGA vs OU winner play Bama


The current format is fine if there are no conferences at all. The best four teams are good...but that's not the case because you do have conferences....5 of them and an independent.


ACC
Pac12
B1G
SEC
B12

Replace a cupcake games with "Conference Challenge" games that rotate each year with a marquee neutral site game from each.

ACC vs Pac12
B1G vs SEC
B12 vs B1G
SEC vs Pac12
B12 vs ACC

Next year

ACC vs B1G
SEC vs ACC
B12 vs PAC12
B1G vs PAC12
B12 vs SEC

And etc.


Now take the "most deserving" next 2 non power teams teams (or a top tier ranked ND) and during conference title week...they play a play in game.

Next take all Conference title winners...sort them by record and the committee will give them a seeding number. [You still have your built in drama here].

Top 2 teams get bye but gone is the luxury of having a month to prep for your opponent.

And like mentioned earlier

3 will play the play in game winner
4 plays 5

1 play 4v5 winner
2 plays 3v p.i.g. winner

The reason for the challenge is so that other conferences can gauge each other's skill set and it will give players a bowl game like experience early in the year which could help spread recruiting footprint for all teams. It can also be used for bowl game match ups to keep the conference pride thing relevant and draw some interest in the bowls again.

@Woodwerkz see breh, that’s all you gotta do, all that 8-12-16 team bullshyt is not needed. 6 is perfect because it does allow two extra teams without completely diluting the regular season.

No. If UGA loses in the SEC Championship game why should we still be a playoff contender? It makes the SEC Championship game irrelevant if we make the playoff win or lose. As it stands now, it's a play in game. If we lose to Bama, we're out and rightfully so. We shouldn't get another chance to make the playoff in that scenario.

BTW, once you start expanding it you're going to have the last 2 teams all begging to get added the following year. It goes to 6, everyone is gonna want 8. You gotta to 8 everyone is gonna want 10-16 teams. Leave it at 4, the conference championships act as unofficial playoff games anyway

I think he’s gone man. Would be shocked if he came back.

Alright I just had to ask because this class of QB's is weak. Haskins would make it a little better if he put his name in the draft. After that game yesterday he solidified himself as a 1st round pick imo

Yeah this will be a very weak class. Haskins has the arm talent, the big knock on him will be he only has 1 year of experience.

Colorado fired their coach.
Why I have 0 idea. They're not going to go out and get anyone who's groundbreaking.
Schools and ADs have to know their place in the grand scheme of things. He took them to a pac 12 ship 2 years ago that earns him some extra years cause colorado aint it chief.

I'm hearing Colorado athletic director Rick George wants a recognizable name with previous head-coaching experience. Possible candidates include Fresno State coach Jeff Tedford, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin, former Oregon coach and Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, and West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen, who may be interested in making a move. Syracuse coach Dino Babers also could be an interesting option.

Like any of those names is making a huge splash in 2018 or leaving their program for their asses
Might as well call up Mangino if he hasn't eaten himself into being bed ridden

 

[invincible1914]

Jayhawk Force One has landed

Get ready for shenanigans in Kansas. No matter what happens it not be boring.

Balls of steel:


Balls of pure insanity:


Some of the sorriest clock and game management you’ll ever see:




What drug is he on quotes:


Les Miles is back!!!

I’m gonna need Spurrier to get that itch again

[CrimsonTider]

Some of y’all do this expansion y’all every year

4 is enough.

There are never 8 teams in CFB that are championship caliber

That had to be an emotional fire. You can tell they didn’t really think it through. None of those coaches are leaving their current situation for Colorado.

No coach with options are going to go to a school that will fire their coach so recklessly.

Beat A&M next week we might get to play Texas in the sugar bowl

LSU playing in the Superdome is always a dope sight

Breh, I fukking love this dude for the fukkery he brought into College Football.

That reversal play against Alabama was straight

Stubborn at the end of the LSU tenure, but his fukkery and one-liners make it worthwhile.


Welcome back Mad Hatter.
