- Conference championship games probably go away with a 24-team playoff.
“Conference championships will be done.”
Make your take
In context
SalTate, have you done this stuff? I mean, we haven't talked about 24 teams next year. I don't think you have on tailgate, but I try to watch the games this week with that in mind.
SalIt's a big difference. It's a big difference. Like I don't need Ohio state Michigan to be the biggest event of our lifetime every year, but I think it should mean something. You know what I mean? Like this really the regular season is almost down to none. We have to see like an eight and four big 12 team has to be, we have to see them in mid January.
TateI don't like it at all. The worst part of it is them resting players for some of those games. You know, you're in the playoff already and you're going to, you know, rest guys.
TateI just think that's the worst part of it. Yeah. kills, kills rivalry. Conference championships will be done. Now at this point, we were training there anyway. It's just a lot of football games. And I don't think we have the depth across college football to really do 17 football games. So, I mean, you're going to have winners, a championship that basically just survived and found a way to, to put a team out there because there's gonna be a lot of
Tateteams that just get beat up down the stretch. So I think that's the most fascinating and frustrating
Dabbundopart. It's good for the casual and it's bad for the, for the diehard and the true fans. Right. it because the casuals were like i'll watch the big game every week but i'm not going to follow it that closely and then i'll tune in for the playoffs which is how people are treating a lot of non -football sports now non -nfl it's like all right yeah baseball is cool like i might go to a couple of games and watch
Dabbundothe phillies a little but i'm not watching until the playoffs basketball it's glorified preseason until the playoffs and now you're creating that environment for college football for a casual fan with college basketball more playoff games yeah college basketball for loves the Saturday like last week, it kind of kills the magic of it.
