Georgia or Alabama

All depends upon who can buy the best players in the country first. Gotta love the NIL and what it has done to ruin college football.
I mean, the playoffs will still likely include at least 2 or three of these teams: OSU, UGA, 'Bama, LSU, or Michigan. Or, maybe USC sneaks in. NIL really hasn't changed the top tier of college football that much.
What NIL might do is thin those rosters out some. Although Alabama kinda said eff that this past cycle.
But if the Miami and Louisville type teams can use NIL to bring in Top 5 to Top 10 classes, that will come at the expense of powers.
Granted, that isn’t going to do much to help the Tier II programs, as it only means there isn’t as much separation between Bama and LSU or Oklahoma, and so now those teams might win it.
Who cares, I don't watch that crap, when I first turned on the game last night and it was 45-7. The post season to me was pretty much Pitt-UCLA, that was the only game I watched all the way through.
Aren’t the poster or keeps saying this is what you want? And who cares if the teams get destroyed, give the little guys a chance?
college football is increasingly becoming a highly regionalized, niche sport.
next yr could be very interesting for Bama. Saban is getting up their in age and that fanbase will start to feel panicked if they have another 10-2 win season, while GA makes the playoffs again...
I don't watch that crap, when I first turned on the game last night... Well, which is it?
To me the bowl season is all about Pitt’s game and having those wacky bowls in the first few weekends of bowl season on in the background. I missed a few good games in the CFP semis but I’m pretty much done as soon as Pitts game is over.
It always was. Fans just didn’t care. Their local Apple Cup trophy and PAC 10 title pursuit and Rose Bowl appearance banner was enough.
The playoffs nationalized everything. And now the regional stuff doesn’t matter as much. But Washington State is still the same team that has no chance at winning a NC as they were before the playoffs.
And that’s what has so many upset. We’ve nationalized a game where the majority can’t compete nationally, and never could.
It is what I want, doesn't mean I'm watching it 100%. I don't want Bama to get in with 2 losses just because they think it's going to be a better game. I want to keep divisions and have AQ for ALL conference champs, and I don't care at all about BEST TEAMS being left out. Because being the best team has nothing to do with being champion. I don't care that the teams got destroyed, it was totally right who got in, and totally right that Bama was denied the opportunity BASED ON GAME RESULTS. Even the semifinals, I only watched maybe 10-15 minutes of each game.
Meaning, that the CFP are not must see TV where I'm excited and tune in for the entire game- I might catch a few minutes. Someday, if Pitt ever makes it, at that point it will be the very first time I watch an entire CFP game.
True, but you used to have teams like Pitt, PSU, OSU, Michigan, ND, Colorado, USC win national titles. The last one in this group to do so was OSU and that was 8 years ago. I wonder if fatigue will set in and the ratings start to fall if it is the same 3 or 4 teams every year in the semis/final. Who will care outside the deep south and Stewart Mandel to see another rematch between Alabama and LSU for the title?
It's basically stupid now, how New Year's Day had no college football and that was the day that they owned for a century.
I reached that point years ago; I think the last time I was interested and actually watched most of the game was when Ohio State won.
Personally, I think it would be better to have a BIG 24 team tournament and let in every conference winner as an AQ even if they are 100% sure to get demolished, just to give teams and fans something to play for the whole year, and they can celebrate just making the tournament, like in basketball when the ECAC or Metro Atlantic champs tear down the net because they earned the #16 seed. Then watching the same old same old Final 4 won't be as annoying if you earned your conferences tournament bid.
Not holding my breath on those two but I guess a blind sow finds an ear of corn eventually.
PSU had a few top 5 classes in the 90's with tons of NFL talent. They never even won a B10 title besides 94. According to the recruiting rankings they did better post 94 then before.
Sometimes its better to man up and just say you just posted a nonsensical sentence (I don't watch that crap, when I first turned on the game last night. ) instead of trying to explain it away. No shame in that, we all do it from time to time..
6,5,4,3...
If college football wants to level the playing field, then they need to reduce the number of scholarships, limit the number of coaches that you can have, allow players to enter the NFL after being 2 years removed from HS, and then put rules and regulations in place for NIL.
Will they do these things? Highly unlikely because the elite programs want to keep their advantages.

I don’t know. Bama’s 2023 recruiting class seemed like a “we aren’t going anywhere” message to college football.
I don’t think that’s true.
Miami wasn’t bringing in Top 5 classes before NIL.
Now, Miami might not be the team fans of Pitt and VT and Michigan State and TCU and Washington are hoping benefits from NIL.
But there are certainly non-Tier I teams closing the gap.
They could sit down and work it out if they wanted to, but do you think the big-time schools want it to be changed? NIL allows the elite schools to cherry pick guys for 1 year rentals.
Seriously? If the elite schools talked to the NFL about the importance of lowering it to 2 years removed because it would help with NIL problems, then it would get done. The NFL has to be slightly concerned with NIL getting out of hand as well. Don’t you think NFL teams would love to get their hands on guys like Maye, Williams, Bowers, etc. right now?
Georgia's 2023 schedule next year is easy by SEC standards. They'll cruise back to the playoffs.
Bowers and Marvin Harrison are two guys who should be able to go to the NFL after their sophomore seasons instead of having to play another season of college football. They look ready now.
No what I said is accurate, to "watch that crap" to me is sit down at kickoff and watch until the end. Turning it on for a few minutes isn't watching it.
I gotta agree. For the most part, the rich is getting richer. There will be a few other schools that might make a good run (Cincinnati, TCU), but it’s a good gamble to keep betting on the traditional “Blue Bloods” of the NCAA.
I think the NFL does not have the rule it has because it punishes the NFL and benefits Alabama and UGA. I seriously think that.
They can easily accomplish the first two items. 3rd one is mostly up to the NFL. The 4th one they have almost no control over. The Supreme Court has implied (Kavanaugh stopped just short of explicitly saying it) that they will not look kindly on any litigation from the NCAA about player financial benefits. The NCAA would get laughed out of the court room if they tried to limit NIL. They don't have the legal authority to prevent "pay for play" and they know it.
