Title: The continued destruction of tradition
Post by: Kaos on February 02, 2018, 10:17:01 AM
According to what I read, the College Football Playoffs are moving away from the traditional bowl sites for the final game and booking venues such as: Dallas, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis

Remember when "we'll work within the current bowl structure" and then "we'll add one game, but at a traditional bowl site"  and now "let's do just like the NFL."

This is quickly becoming a game I do not love.  It hasn't been the same for me, honestly, since the BCS.  My interest has steadily waned. 

As infuriating as it was, I miss the old bowl/poll system where there were sometimes three or four teams in play for the NC heading into New Year's Day.  It meant something.  I used to care about minor bowls. 

Now?  I didn't care when we played Oklahoma.  We didn't care when we played UCF.  If you're not playing in the playoff games, anything else is just an opportunity to get somebody injured. 

Get off my lawn.

We all hated the BCS. Not because of the rankings. They had finally gotten those pretty close to right. Because it did not include enough teams at the end. If they had just kept the BCS and added the extra game, all would have been much better. I think we still need 6 or 8. But this format is too subjective with a committee.

Adding more teams won't fix it if we stay with the committee. And we will because what else is there to do?
