Sounds like your bracket is off to a poor start.
I need to confirm my picks before continuing this conversation
"bracket"
The rule I've learned from doing these over the years is that you never put big points on pre Christmas games, unless you have a small conference powerhouse playing.Goodbye 28 points.
Fuckin Cougs.

According to ESPN stats: "Connor Halliday is the first quarterback in FBS history to throw for 6 touchdowns in a loss in a bowl game."

Aw yeah. Stiffened up and USC wins in dominating fashion.
I wonder how Sark feels watching a team go through three different head coaches in a season and still win more games than he ever did at Udub.
Also: Fresno State sets a bowl record for fewest rushing attempts with six. Previous record was 12.

Just leaving the Vegas bowl. The difference in size of the athletes on the lines was pretty significant to see in person. Carr was horrific. USC didn't really sack or beat him up but eh pressure got to him and took the heralded Fresno offense completely out of rhythm.
Still not a fan of Kessler but maybe Sark can work some magic with him next season.

But it's usually two shitty teams that make a ton of mistakes playing against each other. It's way too unpredictable to put a ton of confidence in any team.

Good man.
So, you picked fresno state, then?
Of course he did, he foolishly thinks Fresno is something other than a middling MWC program.

Tulane showing some fight.
I wonder if more people are at the Superdome tonight than at the Sugar Bowl last year.

Damn. I go 1 out of 4 today

Saw some reports Bill O'Brien's reps approached Penn St about lowering his buyout.
Sounds like BoB may be bailing soon

How would that conversation even go? I mean, I can imagine the conversation about not having a buyout at all when you're negotiating the initial contract, but when you ask for them to lower your buyout and they respond with a "why?" what do you say?

With Lupoi being toxic, apparently Sark is going to try and get Orgeron back. :lol
This is such a sad comedy

So does ESPN still have rights to the National Championship game next year? I think its bad for our sport for the championship game to be aired on cable.
No kidding. They could air it on ABC, but they keep wanting to show it on ESPN. And I think they have it for several more years.
I am still trying to wrap the idea of how the playoff system will work next year for the fans in terms of traveling to the games.
So the idea is that fans will be traveling to a BCS site (Rose, Orange, Sugar, etc) and then if their team wins and moves on they will have to schedule another vacation to the next playoff game site. Is this correct?
Does the playoff committee really expect fans to be planning multiple expensive vacations in such a short time frame?

Yes.
Sucks to hear.
Maybe you pro-playoff guys should have thought of that first.

playoff games should be at home
Three Texas players ruled ineligible for their bowl game against Oregon, two of which (Daje Johnson, Kennedy Estelle) were major contributors.
Did they get in a snowball fight too?
Mack will surely get fired now.

yes, and any team with national championship ambitions should be able to sale 1 extra game. We took no less then 9,000 fans to every game on our way to the men's bball championship this year. Over 20,000 to our first and 2nd round games.
The current issue though is this:
1. a 4 team playoff is a joke, 8 is the perfect number and only adds 2 weeks/games before a championship.
2. the playoff games need to abandon the typical bowl locations and should instead be neutral site games based on each match ups geography. Say if Louisville was playing Ohio State we could play at Paul Brown, Florida vs Texas at the superdome ect. This would minimize travel cost for fans of both teams.
after the 8 team play off your left with 4 bowls.
1. the championship
2. rose, orange, sugar - picking from the 6 teams available that lost during the playoffs....sorry fiesta
And think about how cool that would be. You'd get to see all kinds of dream matchups. Oregon at Bama, FSU at Ohio State, and so on.
Plus, it gives the teams a nice financial and football reward for getting a top 2 seed by getting to host another home game.
If OSU makes the CFB playoff in the next few years, I can't imagine that I'll be able to afford to go to both games unless one is in Dallas.

I like your idea, but the QF round should be played at the higher seed's home. SF's played at a rotating former BCS bowl site, and the National Championship city is selected yearly by committee like the super bowl.
