Captain Wiggles Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 6 minutes ago, Redskins Diehard said: That's true. But that money gets sent to the conference and shared with all the teams. And pales in comparison to the TV money anyway. Big 10 TV deal is like $80+ million a year. Sposidly a conference gets around that if they send a team to the CFP. Depending on the contracts some of these conferences are getting $10 million just for sending a school to the likes of the pop tarts bowl. Plus the $6 million payout for winning taboot. Not so meaningless imo. 🤷♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obvious that many of the players aren't concerned about winning even a prominent bowl. We'll see what the expanded playoffs look like next year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was going to be a blow-out with that many players not playing and a 3rd string QB (true freshman) starting. At full strength with their 2nd string QB, they would still have lost, but it wouldn't be anything like this. I agree with that. I just wish they had gone for it and tried to prove the committee wrong and stake their claim, instead of just noping out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’d have a really difficult time keeping Texas when they won head to head against Bama. That sets a terrible precedent. And you can’t keep Bama out because they beat Georgia and won the SEC. You can’t keep Washington or Michigan out because they’re undefeated. There were 5 legitimate teams who could have made it + FSU. The committee did the right thing by keeping FSU out because they lost their QB. At the end of the day, I’m fine with Georgia not in because they had the chance to beat Bama and get in. They didn’t. Too bad, so sad. But I think they’re clearly one of the best 4 in the country. the only precedent that has ever been set for the playoffs is that the committee chooses the teams at the end of the year they think are the best, viewing the season overall. With that in mind, I’m fine leaving Texas out. They lost to like the worst Oklahoma team in 2 decades and beating Bama is their biggest win since 2005 USC. if Bama is a lock as a 1 Loss sec champion then I think evaluating Texas vs GA, I don’t think there is any scenario this season where I’d believe Texas is a better team or more deserving. As a SEC hater, it kills me to say it but that’s what I think. Texas will have their chance next year to show they belong playing their SEC schedule. I’d have left them out this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Cincinnati has ever been one of the 4 best teams in the country? Why do people talk about school legacy so much? Who cares what a particular team did or didn't do in previous years?

On the other hand, I really don't like rooting for Michigan (or Ohio State.) Regardless of how it goes, I'm rooting for the Texas - Washington winner in the championship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I’m not used to seeing Alabama play in the sun in January. Usually they’re always in domes. This is nice.

Forehead Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 This game just feels like it is slowly turning towards Alabama, even though Michigan is winning and clearly has better box score currently. We'll see if they can hang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
