Bowl Season/Championship Playoff 2024

[Bearcat Chris]

It is a lot of fun watching teams that we beat or would have beaten play in bowl games, while we sit home in poor season oblivion. Miami easily beat Colorado State in a rather well attended "Snoop Dog/Arizona Bowl"..... Give CSS one more year, and reconsider going back to the AAC. So the Big 12 gives UC more money? What good is that if you miss out on the fun of a solid winning season. Remember, I was against the move to the Big 12 at the beginning. I am not trying to "troll here"..... just frustrated that 3 years ago we were in the top 4 in the country, and now we are rated 83rd.

I'm watching GT and Vandy and PxP mentions that GT was once in the Metro conference before joining the ACC. Very young Analyst replies : "What is the Metro Conference?" and now I feel old.

The Metro conference was a really good b-ball conference. I remember telling some guys in my high school (in Michigan) that I was going to UC and they said awesome, going to the Metro Conference. It was fun when FSU hosted the outdoor conference track meet. Deon Sanders would run from the baseball diamond to the track when it was time for him to compete. It just was not sustainable because all of the football programs were independent and the writing was on the wall. The announcer probably does not remember the Great Midwest either (but that kind-of stunk). I was actually a track official during one of the indoor track meets while in the Great Midwest and also for the full conference outdoor meet. Thanks for making me feel old.

I kind of lost track of Pitt and didn’t realize their season had tanked after getting to 7-0. I do know the QB who started for them against UC did not play the bowl game, at least the second half of the game.

That was Eli Holstein and he's been hurt for the last month which might explain a few things.

Lots of Pitt people asking for Narduzzi's head. He started 7-0 and finished 7-6. Sounds a little familiar

Probably the wrong place but here is a spoof on presents for the Big 12 coaches. https://fanrecap.com/big-12-football...uOzkiWLjdHbmrg

The Fighting Butch Jones'es are taking it to BGSU right now in Mobile. And as I type that BGSU scores on a fake punt.

Big comeback by K-State vs Rutgers. Trailing, 34-17, early in the 3rd quarter, the Wildcats ran all over the Scarlet Knights in the second half to score late and win, 44-41. Dylan Edwards rushed for 196 yards and three TDs. As a team, KSU ran 41 times for 348 yards.

That Myrtle Beach turf looked like it was from ‘86.

Coastal Carolina installed the "Teal Turf" at their stadium in Conway in 2015. I don't know if it's been replaced since then.

Take a look at the field at Eastern Michigan, then brace yourself for the one at Eastern Washington.

Do not adjust your set if you're watching games today. Going from Aqua turf to Blue turf this morning and afternoon. Myrtle Beach to Boise

How long will this version of the playoffs be in effect? I think it needs revised. Seed the teams 1-12 and do not give the bye to conference champions. 12 teams is too many also. Drop it down to 8 because really only 2-3 teams have a legitimate shot at a NC anyway. That's my opinion.

I think we're stuck with this for a couple of years, maybe more? I saw a proposal floated today to make it closer to March Madness. 16 Seeds with an S curve. No byes.
