The 2015-2016 College Football Thread

It takes multiple teams to schedule a game. Ohio State or USC can call LSU and try to schedule a game in 2019, but everything needs to work out on both ends. And I guarantee there won't be a home-and-home in that scenario, so either one team needs to be willing to not get the reciprocal home game or a neutral venue needs to found.

It ain't as easy as "Yo, team X, we're playing next year. BRING IT!"

 

Playing devil's advocate here:
What if, in four of the power conferences, the conference champions all have 3+ losses, but in the remaining power conference, you had four one-loss teams? (E.g. OSU only loses to MSU, who only loses to Minnesota, then Wisconsin only loses to Minnesota, who is undefeated until the championship game where they get beat by MSU).

It was my understanding that the point of the playoffs was to have the four best teams in the country compete to win it all, and just because a team won their conference doesn't necessarily mean they're one of the best four teams in the country (granted, that isn't even what really happens, since there's little doubt in my mind that TCU would have destroyed FSU last year and could have potentially won the whole thing).

 

Then get rid of conference championship games. If they don't determine anything then what's the purpose?

I'd be all for conference realignment and contraction. Go the Big 12 route. 10 teams that all play each other. It'll never happen, but it should.

 

No ****. You don't say. How long have the other conferences been crying about this exact issue? 10 to 15 years I would say. It doesn't take that long to find competitive teams outside of your conference. Wouldn't expect anything less tho.

 

That's right. Let the butt hurt flow.

 

So you are wanting to look at bowl games last year? Are you sure about that? Do you need to be reminded what happened to the big dogs of the SEC last year?
