Then end the season before the NFL playoffs start.
They need to do that, but even going up against NFL regular season games is a problem.

Frankly, I think the solution is to move the regular season up one week, hold the conference championship games Thanksgiving weekend, then start the playoffs with the first three rounds (of a 16 team playoff) on the next three weekends, and the final on New Year's Day. I'd go to the NFL and tell them, we want to get our playoffs over before yours start, but we're going to need you to cooperate by giving us some clear TV slots on those December Saturdays.

Getting the NFL to cooperate won't be easy.

It would kill the bowls.

But, it would allow you to conclude the season on January 1, then have a transfer portal before the spring semester starts at most schools.

re: Is A&M afraid to play Georgia?

Since joining the SEC in 2012, Texas A&M has played Georgia once in 2019.

Meanwhile, their big brother Texas has played Georgia 3 times since joining the league (once in Athens) and OU plays in Athens next season.

Let me guess, the SEC scheduling prevented the Aggies from facing competition. Haha.
It's actually OU and Texas's fault that we haven't played Georgia at Kyle Field, yet. We were supposed to do that in 2024 or 2025 (and make a trip to Lexington, which we also haven't done, yet), but that game got thrown out the window when we added two Big XII refugees. So, if you want to see who's to blame for that, look in the mirror.
If you are only going to play one P4 game per year, there is not much reason to play any of the instate schools over any other P4 team. If you haven’t had the pleasure of making a road trip to Lubbock, then you might not understand why it’s not exactly at the top of the list for our fans.
The sound production on all the CFP games has sucked. I went back and watched a couple of regular season games from ESPN on the DVR and the sound was much better.

Tonight, they’ve got a mic next to the Oregon cheerleaders and you can here the male cheerleaders sounding like a cow mooing, but you can barely hear the bands.

This. You can stop the comparisons right there.

I understand your thinking, but the Sugar Bowl at least falls on a holiday. Getting to Phoenix for a Thursday game would have been tough for a lot of UGA fans.

re: The committee screwed Notre Dame

No, the committee did not where Notre Dame is concerned. Miami deserved to go ahead by virtue of beating ND, who also lost to ATM. Those were the biggest games for ND and they lost both. They only beat a ranked Louisville team afterwards, so no big wins over higher ranked opponents.
Funny thing is that A&M and Miami losing late in the year really did ND in. If. A&M beats Texas, Bama isn’t in the SECCG and doesn’t get protected by the committee. If Miami beats either Louisville or SMU, they go to the ACC championship game, likely beat UVA, and JMU is out.
Why not just wear a “Kick Me” sign? If you are going to wear an LSU jersey, wear one with your IQ as the number. Two digits will suffice.
And after the fat shaming commercial, we get the Bama Band playing Fat Bottomed Girls! :lol:
Assuming they see this one out, the only thing standing between them and the final is an Oregon team they’ve already beaten once, in Eugene. They will feel like the home team in Atlanta, too.

A matchup,with Georgia would be interesting. Think I’d favor the dawgs in that one, slightly. On a neutral,field, I’d like Indiana over Miami, but if that’s the matchup, it will be on Miami’s home field.

And, everyone in college football who is not an LSU fan thinks that is fine, because Kiffin deserves it.
The school didn’t own the Orange Bowl. It wasn’t their choice.
Small private school, which means not that many fans and no power of eminent domain to acquire land. When they sucked, and Miami was smaller, the Orange Bowl provided all they needed.

If Bama and Texas Tech win tomorrow, that will shift all the talk away from the SEC’s poor postseason performance to how overrated the Big Ten was.
Surround sound system for the win. Disconnect your center speaker.

It’s kind of ironic that Mizzou blew up the Big12 when they tried to flirt with the Big Ten and Nebraska got wind of it. Turns out the BIG had zero interest in them, and then they lucked out when the SEC felt like they had to take another team in addition to aggy.
Bill Powers blew up the Big XII when the Nebraska chancellor asked him if Texas was committed to the Big XII and Powers refused to say yes.

I've always wondered why the light posts were in the middle of the stands at Stoll Field. Would have been a real bummer to buy a ticket only to find out that it's behind a light pole.

I was looking at the old pictures, where there is a little pint sized stand appended on to the west side (but not the east) of the old horseshoe.

The cool thing about that picture is that you can see the old Billy goat hill at Clark Field (baseball) in the background. I still can’t believe that the horns got away with having a cliff in play for all those years.
