It's Time the NFL Relinquish Saturdays to the College Football Playoffs

deadirishpoet
Saturday has always been home for college football. Thursday also in the not so distant past.
I don't believe professional football is nearly as popular as the college game, and the college game ever so slowly is morphing (sp?) Into the pro game thanks to a not very well thought out legal ruling, but that aside I would wonder if a college football playoff, played along side a regular season professional game which would draw a larger audience?
There's no way the college game should any longer play second fiddle to the pro game.

I'll get off my soapbox

Merry Christmall to all

Looks like the other thread got shut down. I have no issue with the Edge guys, been fantastic. The concern is the interior DT, in 6 years ND has not recruited ONE Top 150 player with an average ranking of 360. WR/DT have been the two worst recruited positions and it’s not close. ND has done “very well” at every other position

If you just go by recruiting rankings, we can put out a full 3 deep on the interior of 4 star players. So our 3rd string would both be made up of composite 4 star players

Also, Gabe Rubio was ranked 119 in the composite and Mills was 159

I take it you didn’t watch the game the two of them played. OSU was in position to kick a game winning field goal at Oregon but the QB let the clock run out. I don’t know what is going to happen in this rematch, but that is justification for an opening line to favor the Bucknuts on a neutral site.

Exactly. tOSU basically blundered that game away at the end. As if Vegas bookies give a shit about tOSU's struggles with Michigan or their 10-2 record. And they're going to favor Oregon because tOSU doesn't 'deserve' to be favored. Throw in the fact that tOSU might be particularly hungry for respect and redemption, I think they're the easy betting favorite in this game.

So then don't even play the games during the season then. Just go to the post season and cancel the entire reg season.

Oregon goes 13 and 0 and beats OSU and OSU goes 10 and 2 but Vegas would rank them ahead of Oregon.

Talk an out stupidity. Sounds like F+ math here

Disagree that Conf Champs automatically deserve to be in. Hell, we’re talking about selecting the top 12 teams to participate in a playoff, and conference champs will almost always be among this group. But if not, they don’t deserve to be there.

The powers the be want another NFL (like one isn't enough)
So don’t be surprise when a college version of the 2011 NY Giants win the National Championship

I don’t know if I’m in the minority but I definitely agree with him to some extent. SMU and Indiana would be lucky to grt to bowl eligibility with their schedule. At the same time, don’t lose to Kentucky at home!

All three of the SEC teams were better than Indiana or SMU, I don’t think most would argue that. SMU is my only gripe. The ACC is not the Big Ten and they really had just one solid win.

Those three SEC teams lost a quarter of their games.
The only thing the Big 10 has going for it is they are marketed well, you pull back the curtin there isn't much that there

Really?

#8 Ohio St. is favored in Las Vegas over #1 Oregon.

ACC champion Clemson was 0-3 versus the SEC, including losing at home in game 12 to non playoff South Carolina.

Indiana…..who played a pathetically weak schedule, SMU, and Clemson IMO weren’t amongst the 12 best teams in CFB.

Ty Washington commits

Underwhelming resume for a ND transfer. Overall, our TE’s seriously underperformed this year, and blocking was beyond poor by ND standards. Washington looks like an efficient willing blocker, so think this was the primary interest in him. Agree that Flanagan is talented and I think he might make an impact as a freshman, but probably late in the season. Washington should help the running game against a demanding first few games.

Denbrock loves Washington. That's good enough for me.
