What an embarrassment this has become.. I am certainly glad the this system is being canned and teams can play it out to become the Champion. 4 teams is at least a start.

All this build up and the NCAA has this egg laid upon it collective faces again. The clock is ticking you fat cats.

Yeah.. I've always been a huge vocal proponent against the playoff system. But I will admit that 45 days between a team's last regular season game and the National Championship is out of hand. I never liked the BCS, and have always agreed that it HAS to go, but never fully adopted the playoff system as a valid replacement. I may be wrong. But regardless.. The BCS and it's effin' computer needs to die, ASAP.

Oh, and SEC/ESPN need to get out of each other's wallets.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

I hate the whole bowl system. Forcing the colleges to buy a certain amount of tickets and then selling others online is outrageous.

Was there a game?

Who won? Should I care?

Oh, yes, I knew who was playing. One team that makes Nick Saban God. The other that thinks itself God incarnate, the Duke of college football. Bleh. If there ever was a game that deserves a -3 t -2 game, this would be it.

College football has become like MLB and the NBA for me. Plus the ethos of NCAA football is part of everything that is wrong with higher education today.

I rarely watch it any more.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

But when you consider it ends up being tens and thousands of dollars per institution and most of the colleges are state funded it is the tax payer that ends up picking up the tab for all of this. If the states were all in the black it would not be as big of a deal but when many or most states bankrupt (except ND but no one wants to watch their college teams play anyway.) or nearly so it is an issue.

I hate the SEC They are really nothing more than a minor league for the NFL. But how everyone swoons over the irish even more.

Zero2Cool (9-Aug) : Woo-hoo

TheKanataThrilla (9-Aug) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round
