Fourth and dumb meets fourth and numb?Dickey and Dan Dullen share so much DNA.
I mean DM installing his offense in Year 1 with franks at QB was more entertaining than dickey's exotic "3 and out" offense.You sure you don't mean Trask and Johnson put a better product on the field? I think we have to wait and see how much better true Mullen Ball is. I'm not expecting it to look much like the last 2 years.
Ohhh... three and out is back. No doubt.more entertaining than dickey's exotic "3 and out" offense.
Scott Carter is an uninformed A**hole
Dude, if you never endured watching Dickey’s offense, you simply can’t relate.Ohhh... three and out is back. No doubt.
Punter will be MVP again.
But the point is, football-wise, they see no need to make a change, like most of us here do. They are fine with the standard Mullen is maintaining. They want us to be known as highly competitive (relatively speaking) but not a perpetual 4-team CFP contender like the schools I mentioned above, because they think that detracts from the overall brand image they want.
Exactly..............i need to pay more attention...........this is WAY better than reality Tv
Slant off tackle, slant off tackle, slant off tackle, punt. Rinse, repeat.Dude, if you never endured watching Dickey’s offense, you simply can’t relate.

No, actually, this is about your proposal which will lead to meaningless games nobody will watch in person or on tv.
As for opted out meaningless bowl games, you're making a straw man argument. I'm not interested in those either.
You want meaningful bowls without opt outs? We already play those in the preseason. They're great (unless you won the Fulmer Cup and have a bunch of arrests/suspensions for game one). This season we have Bama-Miami in Atlanta, Stanford-K-State in JerryWorld, and Klimpson-UGA somewhere (maybe more). Another advantage of having them in week 0 or week 1 is you can play them in northern towns too and not worry about the weather.
An expanded playoff ruins the traditional post-season Bowls. They suck right now with only the top 4 teams out. Sure, you could incorporate them into the playoffs but how many times are Bammers and Suckeyes gonna travel? Say you're a Bama fan. First you're going to the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. Then what? Travel to see Bama face Ball State or UAB in the first round? Travel again to see them play Northwestern or Indiana in the second round? Then finally travel again to play Klimpson or tOSU for the championship? How much money and how much free time do they have? That's 4 post-season games. I understand there is a labor shortage but Wal Mart and Jiffy Lube ain't paying that much.
Expand the pre-season bowls. Those games will matter. Ditch most of the post-season bowls. They are meaningless anyway. They should be true exhibitions and not count in the final rankings because of the opt-outs. That's what they used to be. Some of 'Bama's alleged championships came after getting blown out in their bowl game because bowl games didn't count.
Frankly, I'm not convinced we need more than 4 teams, but if we must expand, then I stand by the number 6. Reward 1 and 2 with a bye, reward 3 and 4 with a home game, and reward 5 and 6 with a chance. If you aren't in the top 6, you don't deserve a shot. I don't ever want to see a 3 loss national champion.

It does not matter who would have been selected last year because we had what we had. Going forward the 4 (or 6) at large teams will be selected by the criteria the powers decide it will be. I already explained why I do not think it makes the CCG meaningless as winning it is the only guaranteed spot in the playoff's. If it's 12 teams it also gives the top four champions a first round bye.
In 2009 UF was undefeated and ranked #1 going into the CCG against Bama. We lost! If we had 8 or 12 teams in a post season playoff in 2009 we would have rightly qualified and maybe won the whole thing. Like I said we disagree on this point.
From what I heard the proposal is 3 groups of 4. The top 4 have to be conference champs (mean ND can never be in the top 4 if they don't join the ehh-she-she which is great). Since the top 4 get a buy it makes winning your conference very relevant. The middle 4 gets a home game in the first round and the bottom 4 have to play on the road.Yeah...we do disagree on the point. Because you are wrong. When you take teams into the playoffs that didnt even qualify to play in their conference championship then winning the conference championship loses a lot of meaning. UGA and/or aTm would most likely had gotten into the playoff this year. Duh. Meaningless.

lagator...Will these games be played on Campus (Great for the Schools)? I thought they were played like bowls?

I've heard both first round will be on campuses (lower seeds the home team) or would take the place of lower bowl games (ie Outback, Citrus, Peach, etc).
I'd like on campus...Most Big Bowls are in NFL Stadiums...Why give them any more Money? But I'm sure it will come down to TV and $$$.
