    During football season if we have company on Saturday or Sunday afternoons they know I'm going to be watching the games. Most of them join me.

    Will the SEC referees let LSU beat them? "Penalty on LSU, making a good play on the Cash Cow. 10 yard penalty, 1st down Cash Cow."

    College football needs to start a new division. Currently there's what... 130 teams in FBS? Only the top 64 are relevant. Make eight 8 team divisions and then you got your 8 team playoff.

    But muh bowl games...
    No one cares, Karen!

    Although it looks good on paper, I think the chances of it happening are somewhere between slim & none. And I just saw Slim riding off into the sunset.

    Its all about the Money, but it might be too late before they self correct. If Alabama and Clemson keep ending up in it most years they are going to start to lose money and things will change. I am betting things will not correct until they expand the playoff again.

    The CFB ratings are as high as they have ever been. They are making a shitload of money. I don't see them tinkering with a system that in their eyes is performing well. You know the old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't try and fix it."

    Yeah, I hate that that is true. I also hate that its Alabama, fuck bama. The other thing that could change things is Saban retiring.

    Other than @TerryP you can probably count the number of people who post on this board who like Bama on one finger. As I said in another post, if you don''t enjoy the success Bama is having then do something about it. Namely beat 'em.

    The Patriots are in the Superbowl more often than not and people still watch and the NFL is making more money than ever. College football is the same.
