Meh. It was a blowout that was over at the 1st quarter and it still did alright tv wise. The semifinals did over 21 million plus. If you had that Ohio State/Georgia game last night it would have done really well.

Trying to crown a true national champion was the beginning of the end. The first sign of the medias undue influence on the game. The first of the thousand cuts to the soul of college football.

Why would anyone want a system that creates a split title like Nebraska/Michigan again? That would be awful

Lowest ratings for a title game in college football history.

Clearly best teams don't lose two games as the favorite.

They are powerless now. The public and media whined for years about those poor, exploited student athletes. The NCAA gave people what they wanted and they are still not happy. You reap what you sow.

The teams in the playoffs mostly recruited and developed their own players

Here's the thing: We all know the SEC is dominant, and the Big 10 or ACC grasps the morsel every once in a while. There is nothing that can be done to force teams onto the same level.
The Big 12 and Pac-10 will simply have to do better. Open up the checkbook. Pay more. That's the only way. |

Then, they made billions on it and really never had any accountability. Of course once in a great while, the NCAA would mete out punishment to universities that didn’t really matter. SMU got the death penalty, but the SWC was rife with player payment and they sure didn’t investigate Texas. Through the decades, ND, USC, UNC all had major scandals with minor penalties. Long story short, I’m glad players are being paid. The pendulum swung clear to the player side after decades. Now, it needs a little more refining. In the end, as has been already stated, NCAA FB will be a regional thing. The SEC will continue to dominate, and if there’s a good matchup on for the CFP semifinal, I’ll watch. If it becomes a blowout, I turn it off. It is what it is. |

Great interview with Rhule starts at 44:00 really like his ability to admit he sucked at Carolina. Much different than Frost/Pelini I think he can get the program to what Iowa/Wisconsin have been the last 10-15 years
