AlaskanFAN 1,665 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 D-1 College football is the only level that does not have a playoff and plays less than 16 games. High school, Juco, D-III, D-II and the Pro's all play at least 16 games in a playoff format. So wee mans aguement that a playoff is to many games and would hurt to many players has never held water with me. Also the argument that the bowls games are the only source of "fun/materiel goods" the players get as a reward for a good season since they do not get paid is a load of crap. What people miss, is the bowl games can still be used in a playoff system. The bowl games would sponsor playoff games. For those teams that do not make the playoffs, the bowl games not used in the playoff format can be used for teams not participating in the playoffs. So in conclusion: we are still using the bowl games to reward the players, sponsors still get their names out there and we get a playoff format Laddie daddie everybody happy happy. Just one arm chair bourbon drinking, ex-high school bench water cooler guarding players opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDE_OxPx_2010 5,297 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Interesting. We seem to be going backwards in some respects in the bowl layout. Advocare bowl vs Kansas State Citrus bowl vs FSU http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/18094457/college-football-bowl-projections-2016-season-week-13 I still think Vandy beats Tennessee and costs UT the Sugar Bowl.

Their defense is better than most give them credit for and Tennessee's defense is atrocious! Going to be rooting for LSU, Vandy, and FL State (ughhh) so we have a good shot at the Sugar Bowl even with a loss to Bama. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Somewhere in Florida" is probably correct. Tampa or Orlando seem likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Those are two pretty good options in my view. Just hoping that our injury situation has been resolved so that we can make a good showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jared52 4,354 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Vandy should have the lead by the official blew the fumble call where Vandy walked in with it. But they have the ball down 3 to start the fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess technically once all the games are in the can they won't select, they will take, as you point out. Pretty sure they will be holding their noses. I wonder when the last time they had a four loss team was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be there watching us get our ninth win with our third or fourth string quarterback and our third or fourth string runningback. 1st String QB - JJ no light 2nd String QB - Queen injury 3rd String QB - SW injury 1st and 2nd RB - Left team and kicked off team 3rd and 4th String RB - Both injured All that and we will probably still get nine wins!
