Certain times every year it gets so annoying to listen to sports talk radio and even CFB specific talk radio because all they want to talk about is the playoff and the conference title games. And now with the covid cancelations it is worse because they are bitching and moaning about 'how will they pick the teams for the league title games' 'how will they compare and pick the teams for the playoff' 'why can't they move the dates'.
None of that matters to me.
There are 127 FBS schools playing football this fall. Some of these leagues are past halfway. How many teams have a legit shot to win their division or compete for a conference title? How many teams realistically have any shot at a playoff or national title opportunity? 6, 8 maybe?
There are so many positives about college football being back. I just hate how everything gets boiled down to Big Ten and SEC or ACC Title games and who's in the playoff.
Honestly, you know what. Years ago I advocated for a 4 team playoff model utilizing conference champions only. But now, I think that it is ruining college football. It's not ruining the vast majority of games, but it's like nothing else matters, there are no other games other than the ones that play a role in who will play or make it into the playoff.
Sorry on the rant here. But this week with the cancelations so many people belly aching, hey - there is life outside the top 10 teams! This sport is so much bigger and greater than that.
So no, I don't care about any of the cancelations. I mean I would rather they play all the games and I would rather have as many games to watch and read into and bet on as possible - my last count, I think there were still 50 games this week involving FBS teams. You listen to ESPN and it's like nobody is even playing this week!
