What if they structured conferences around time zones?
Lincoln Riley isnāt thrilled about USCās early kickoff this week in Champaign.
āGoing from the absolute latest kick in the country to the absolute earliest kick in the country has its challenges. But the challenges ā like, it is what it is. We donāt make the schedule. Clearly.ā

Thatās interesting cause Arizona State and Boise State are the two that were competitiveā¦
Again, we donāt hate these people enough.
Paul Finebaum believes the automatic bye system is the 'ultimate flaw' in the College Football Playoff:
āI think you have to remember that two of those bye teams really had no business getting byes, and that was the ultimate flaw in the system. Arizona State and Boise State should not have ā should have been playing on the road the very first weekend, and we wouldnāt even have this conversation.ā

Coach Prime lifted @CUBuffsFootball from 1 win last year to 4 in year 1. From no hope to hope for a bright future. Whether you love him or love to hate him, you watched @DeionSanders team at levels never seen before for a team coming off a 1 win season. Next year will be fun.

Remember kids, itās not about your ability, your stats, none of it matters. The only thing that matters in the conference patch on your jersey. š
Also, Boise State is a MUCH better program than Baylor.
Does Boise Stateās Ashton Jeanty have a real shot to win the Heisman? š¤

We donāt hate these people enough
Even for Paul Finebaumās standards, his take today was grotesque.
Heās not just an SEC Network host. ESPN has given him the title of national CFB analyst, supposedly tasking him with covering the whole sport.
Yet he calls SMU and Indiana āfraudsā while giving Tennessee a pass.

Why would Alex Golesh leave USF? They have a top 20 recruiting budget. They are in a city in Florida MUCH better to live in the Gainesville or Tallahassee or anywhere in the SEC. Some would say better than anywhere in the country. Theyāre building a new stadium. They have all the resources.
Whether American Conference or not, if they win it, they have a strong chance to make the CFP.
And your fan base and alumni arenāt going to turn on you the second you lose a game to a really good team.

11 of 16 playoff teams will be SEC and Big 10.

āWe should separate the Group of Five because they donāt play the same level of football as us. But also we donāt wanna play them cause they might beat us.ā
Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson in here advocates ACC teams stop scheduling road games at Group of 5 teams, as high-risk, low-reward.
He's not wrong, but I'd hate for that to happen. We love those games as fans.

Almost three years ago we talked about Boise State RB George Holani and the Boise faithful reminded us that a youngster named Ashton Jeanty was better.
Bad news for the Mountain West and the rest of college football: Might not be Jeanty, but Sire Gaines is about to be a BIG PROBLEM

Literally every other sport puts conference or division champs in the playoffs. Every single one.
Itās the exact opposite. Nobody puts the Raiders (sorry @JMurphyLee) in the playoffs cause the Chiefs are just too good to beat.
"The Group of Five with South Florida ... that division really has no business playing. That's like letting the Triple-A best team into the Major League playoffs."
