2024-25 College Football Playoff TV Schedule

[McNabb2Brominski]

With a 25 team field, wouldn’t that maintain the same issue except this time the debate is 9-3 teams who played easy schedules vs. 7-5 teams who played hard schedules? There will always be this debate regardless of the size of the playoff field.

yes, but as the field expands the debate becomes more trivial as the teams getting left out have no realistic shot of winning a championship. Bama, Ole Miss, Gamecocks could be contenders but are getting left out over others (Indiana/Smu) due to way harder schedule

Every time I hear someone say "Go Irish" I want to smack them in the mouth.

 

[Offthedome]

Ok boys, what are we drinking tomorrow for these games? I need to pick some stuff up

Right now, it's Southern Tier 2XMAS.

 

[wiseman3]

We need Clemson as a conference. Wouldn't it be great for the SEC to go 0-2 today. Good start!

 

[HRE Otto IV]

So if Clemson can hold on these next 50 mins, all of a sudden things might end up...

B1G 2-1
ACC 1-1
SEC 0-2

With the lone SEC team left having no QB. Wouldn't it be funny if the SEC went 0-3 in this playoffs?

Clemson is my rooting interest for the playoffs, and that tastes really crappy in my mouth.

 

[PhatOrange]

I’m all for expanding. I’d like to see the teams hot at the end compete. D1AA can do it D1 should.

 

[GreekFreak]

I struggle to see Clemson winning with Klubnik. He has never impressed me. He’s better than DJU but so are many other QBs.

 

[Orangezoo]

I think Texas ends up blowing them out. Clemson gave us an entertaining first quarter at least.

 

[JustPherU]

Watching all these playoff games feels like Groundhog Day

 

[orange_in_VA]

All of the home teams are rolling. They were also favored but being at home is a huge advantage

 

[HRE Otto IV]

This really shouldn't be a surprise. With two weeks prep and a home game why would we expect a close game when it is...

#8 at #5
#10 at #4
#16 at #3

The road teams are in no way legit title contenders. There is a clear gap between them and the teams they play. Any of those games would be a big upset. Even tonight's game given the home game would be an upset. The problem is there isn't more than 4-5 real contenders in a given season. This expansion was all for $, not adding quality games.

 

[UpstateSM]

That's a terrible flag on that pick six. Refs have been home cooking all weekend.

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Such an SU KO

Another issue is giving teams like Boise State and ASU byes. Now you have better teams in round one that should br in the top four. They need to get rid of the automatic byes and seed them like hoops does.

zero penalties on Texas in 1H

Believe it's a Big 10 crew

Officials need to be national not conference based

TD off the board on a nudge

Agree not a surprise but evidence that expanding the field will result in more boring blowouts.

Don’t know about the rest of the penalties but that was definitely a blindside block.If he just screened the guy it would of been ok but you can’t blowup a guy from that position.

 

[Chip]

Doesn’t appear to be the ACC’s year.

 

[Eric15]

I think Miami would have given ND, PSU or Texas a better game than Indiana, SMU and Clemson. Our fault for that.

 

[orange_in_VA]

9 out 16 BCS Championship Games weren't close. 20 out of 30 games in the 4 team format weren't close. These blowouts don't mean anything regarding the format itself being worse

 

[hoopsupstate]

Miami might be the better team offensively than any of the 12 teams in the playoffs.

 

[orange_in_VA]

Not even a debate tbh

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Coach Prime might be able to say he beat the national champ

 

[baggerbob]

Should be 16 teams over 4 weeks no home field advantage use the top 15 bowls for the games each year.
That way you get the best teams and fairer games officials are a mixed crew.
