@MontanaDawg Just wanted to say that regardless of everyone’s take on this Including mine, Right, Wrong, or In Between it’s coming in 2024. So like the NIL Deals that I’m not all that big a fan of, we all about as well face the reality of it it’s at this point a done deal. Many people like ME have a difficult time with what they (Me) see as radical change. But in most cases their (My) love of the game over comes and they gradually accept it. I’m sure I will to. Been a Dawgs fan for far to long to stop now. I can’t think of many things that would make me completely cut Dawgs football out of my life. There are a few, I Won’t go there !! But I can’t in my worse nightmares see those things happening. SO regardless of what the NCAA and/or the SEC come up with I’ll be right there watching and reading every thing Dawgs that I possibly can Lol !! Along with hundreds of thousands if not millions of other Dawgs fans. The Dawgs is really the only sport I care about for the last, gosh years and years. I gave up on the Falcons a long time ago. Gave up on the Hawks longer than that. And have a luke warm interest in the Braves. Very casual interest in them. But I’m rabid about our Dawgs Lol !! If this move to 12 team playoffs doesn’t Help the Dawgs I sure hope it doesn’t Hurt them in any manner. I’m just leary of most CFB sports media and their influence on the Playoff Committee coupled with their heated love affair with Ohio St., Michigan, and Notre Dame. Year after year in most cases unless it would just be Completely and Utterly ridiculous they try so hard to plug those three teams in. But seem to have a disdain for our Dawgs. That is Until our Dawgs throw pie in their faces by continued winning which would make them look s t u p i d on a National basis if they didn’t include the Dawgs. When they See the Dawgs start winning allot, Then they flip flop and start with the “Oh the Dawgs are great” Blah, Blah !! But it’s fairly easy to see their hating every second of Having to say that Lol !! SO I’ll close by saying our Dawgs just need to keep winning and winning and winning !! Go Dawgs !!
There’s much wisdom in what you’ve said. And I think that the fears you and I have are shared by many, many, people. With the exception of the service academies ( and even with them to some degree) Traditions have been totally disbanded. And your right as rain this IS College Football NOT the NFL, which is one of the primary reasons I watch it. But it never ever fails MONEY will come in and dictate pretty much Every Thing. And that’s the True bottom line on this. The Money. These people in power don’t care a pinch of powder about these young players, they really don’t care about you and me as fans, As Long As we keep forking over the Money to watch. Honestly it’s getting pretty Sickening to me how pretty much Every Thing in this country is being watered down. Dawgs football For Me and probably for you and for countless other fans is a means to escape from the insanity of life for a precious little while. BUT as usual the greedy folks see an opportunity to dig All The Deeper into the average typical College Football fan’s wallet so here they come !! I guess because I Do love the sport so much I’m part of the problem. But College Football is rapidly going the way of the NFL and other pro sports where they will make the players gods instead of mere mortal human beings. And they want you and I and all the other avid fans to Pay Dearly for the opportunity to watch these gods. Sad. Thank You for your dedicated and honorable service to our country. I’m one of three brothers ( I’m the middle brother but I’m smarter and more handsome than the other two Lol ) that were honored and privileged to serve in the Navy. Back when Noah was an Admiral Lol !! God Bless and Protect You and your family. I’m pretty sure that like me and my two brothers you probably get very nauseated with many things you see happening in our country. And it’s been sinking for a Long time. Sad. Well let’s enjoy those things we Do have. And let’s hope Kirby and Co. can bring home a SECCG trophy and yet another National Title and trophy. Go Dawgs !!
Do we really need a 16 team playoff? I’m afraid we’ll see too many first round blowouts, eg UGA-TCU or Bama-Cincy. These were blowouts in a 4 team playoff. We easily could have playoff games with matchups like UGA-Troy and OhioSt-Fresno. At least give the top 2-4 teams a bye so we don’t end up with silly mismatches.
