College football is facing a similar issue European soccer is. Both are stuck in systems that were created a loooooong time ago, and because of tradition are slow to change. Nobody wants to see Alabama play ULL or Troy, or even a USF or UCF to some extent. Just like nobody cares when Manchester City bend over Cardiff or Swansea. Yes there are some stories in both sports of rises and falls, but for the most part the same dozen (or less) institutions have dominated the landscape for decades. The powerhouses are going to create super leagues and play other powerhouses, and keep all the money. I dont know what could have been done differently when USF had its shot (in the Big East), but I think it stings a little more knowing they had a shot to establish in the top 64 (both on the field and off) and never really got it going.

Any speculation on what the 12th game will be next season?

Threw together a last minute fanduel lineup with a Rodgers - MVS stack. Ended up turning $1 into $5.

Yeah its tough. A starting job on the line in the NFL with a guy like Luck as your QB and he can't get his hammy healthy. Going to be a major what if.

I am not sure if this has been shared anywhere but pretty relevant. http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/24863409/nine-teams-best-chance-win-college-football-playoff-national-championship I scrolled and scrolled and never could find a UCF logo

Show me a "10" and I will show you someone who is tired of waking up next to her.

So someone like Flowers or Mckenizie Milton are automatically out?

Guess we will find out. Some think the number will be as small as 24.... https://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/college-football-expanded-playoffs-10-years-alabama-ohio-state-notre-dame-051616

United is a dumpster fire, relatively speaking. Is anyone else furious that TNT has the rights now? Their app is garbage. I get to watch 5 minutes of a game and then the app crashes.

Not sure which board to drop this in but figured wanted to ask anonymous internet users input on a couple of questions. Maybe this can be a catch all for future cries for help? I was offered a trade of Jimmy Graham for Julien Edleman straight up. My current WR are Edleman, Hopkins, Ridley, Corey Davis, Jordy Nelso, Goodwin. My TE are Watson and Brate. The league scoring is standard with ZERO PPR. Should I upgrade the TE with a sure top 10 option or ride out the stream? In a PPR league I would tell the guy to get bent, but I am iffy on Edleman's value in a non-ppr. The other question for this week is: Which 3 get the start at RB this week? Melvin Gordon, Joe Mixon, AP, and Brieda. Typical week I know who I am rolling, but not sure about Mixon and his ankle. If he starts do I roll him?

Yeah good luck with that. When the split happens the G5 is dead. They already have almost zero leverage, and when Div 1 is fractured they will have the same leverage 1AA has.

You are really stretching here Cousin SJW. I am saying worldstar is a black social media site, and commenters will have different reactions in the comment sections based on skin color. The general reaction to white people ******* in the bathroom, and black people ******* in the bathroom, is wildly different on that website. There is a user who only posts videos of himself ******* chicks at bus stops, and the reactions are basically "atta boys".

Not really. WorldStar is a social media that has videos (most are of black people) of people fighting, stealing, twerking, and even doing more random ****. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=WorldStar

Yeah worldstar is an ugly site. You get everything from gang fights to gang ***** on there. The videos typical feature darker skin tones than the ones seen here so thats why the comment section are a little extra aggressive.

I think this is conflating legacy with performance. Schools like Va Tech get the benefit of the doubt because they had a decade plus run, a long time ago, versus other "storied" programs. UCF is on a hot streak versus Tulane, Tulsa, and Temple. Unless there is a chaotic last 6-7 games UCF is actually probably in 6th place in the committees eyes? Maybe lower? I think the bigger nightmare for the committee would be 5 teams from the P5 running the table. Bama/Georgia OU/WVU tOSU Clemson Notre Dame Heck, I feel pretty comfortable saying if those 7 teams finished with 1 loss they would still be above Cent. Florida. I would add if PSU runs the table, any of the Pac 12 North teams run the table, or even a Texas or Oklahoma State run the table they would leap frog the Golden Knights. But I hope I am wrong, and they finish 4-7

Can someone explain to me why a system designed to pick the 4 "best" teams of the CURRENT season would find last year's record relevant? If UCF runs the table, they will have no ranked wins, a strength of schedule in the low 80's, and would have only played 4 road games. Their schedule was somehow tougher last season, and lets be honest their only 3 notable wins (before the bowl game) came at home vs Memphis and South Florida.

Agreed that individual teams are very likely cyclical (except Alabama because they are the devil). But regardless of the team names, the conferences tend to stay the same. IE Georgia would be interchangeable with UF tOSU with Michigan etc...

I'm curious as to why ESPN, CBS, or any other media entity would invest more into the Group of 5 at this point? Or are you speaking college football in general? Either way, these companies invest in games that people watch. Can you guess what games people watch? I will give you a hint, its not the GO5: https://www.statista.com/statistics/748033/college-football-tv-ratings/

Would love to see the next step on how these conferences look.

What does this even mean?

General consumption of soda has been in decline for a decade in the US, but people (everyone not just unhealthy individuals) still drink it by the gallon (45 gallons per year per American), especially during "special events" like a football game, going to a theme park, going to the movies etc... And yes like any intelligent business, both companies have recognized a change in consumer preference and adapted its product offerings to maintain market share. Full disclosure I do not work for either company but have a strong belief that if you drink the horse piss they pass off as "Diet Pepsi" you should lose every privileged granted to us by the constitution.

Anyone who calls themselves the mayor of a section at a college football game needs to really rethink their life priorities. ESPECIALLY if you aren't in the student section.

So what you are saying is...if it ain't broke don't fix it? Message boarders will continue to find something to ***** about and the South Florida Bulls will continue to win games. Deal!

I live in South Carolina and work in North Carolina. On a daily basis I am internally gutted on what shade of blue or red I should be hating on. But in all seriousness, the two states have had a competitive rivalry dating back to when it split into two. The one Carolina marketing gimmick is actually heavily leaned on by the Panthers, but this was an easy lever to pull when both states got hit by a natural disaster.

All of the criticism on BB is warranted. While the line has done him no favors I am not sure he has a completed a pass to a non-primary route yet. He has a strong arm but has made some poor decisions, and doesn't keep his head down field when he gets pressured. That being said the backup QB is always the most popular man on campus, and there is no way a change should be made...right now.
