Not a big fan. I find him snarky second only to Sean McDonough. I don't know how Spencer puts up with him.

With that stated......he's correct here:

I didn’t listen to the video yet since some are sleeping. But the title tells me Brandon’s opinion.

I have considered this issue a couple of days now and here is mu opinion.

CFB is different now. Players are paid. Players transfer . Coaches make millions every year and move around. CFB is now a professional sport. The upstream machine feeding money into the pro sport of CFB is TV revenue. What TV revenue needs and/or wants is what now happens in CFB. TV revenue wants the best games in the playoff. FSU without their starting QB does not provide a good matchup for the playoff. That is it….

There is no corruption. CFB is no longer like church league softball where the record is the final arbiter of playoffs.

I could go on…but that is it….CFB is a pro sport…. :deadhorse:

Mostly agree...

I still think it's been corrupted. If we are going this way, get the committee out of it. Find a way to decide it on the field of play.

They say the 4 best teams. They pick the 4 best, ITO.

We all saw last year what happened when our starting QB was out due to concussion.

I am not upset about the 4 in the playoff. :boohoo: Any of the 4 could win it. :bow:

:deadhorse: FSU without their QB is not winning a playoff game.

And the Talking Heads were correct..... The majority of college football fans wanted to see "the two best teams" play that year.
Welp, they got justice instead.

College football has been corrupted into a pro sport. Saying it’s not corrupt because it’s a pro sport misses the point imo.

If tv revenue didn’t control actions we would still be in the Big 8…

Got to disagree Zgeo, If it was a pro sport there would be an agreed upon criteria before the season and then the results on the field would decide the outcome. That's how professional sports are run.

They didn’t change anything it was always “ the best 4” in the opinion of the committee…..
