I personally believe that ESPN, the Supreme Court and the conferences will end up killing college football, but that’s just me. I just don’t think that if it keeps going the way it does with the money and greed that it’s sustainable.

I’ve become disillusioned with college ball. Generally I only follow one team, but I pay attention to other teams in that it affects my team. I’ve long thought there was corruption in officiating, but could never prove it. I always just thought, “it isn’t corruption, it’s just your personal bias for your team.” But as time goes by I’m more convinced it isn’t bias or incompetence, because I’m seeing some teams more affected by it than others. But this year is really what has killed it for me, because on top of the corrupt officiating, the people in charge of seeding the playoffs dropped any pretense of fairness and clearly just put the teams that they think are the money makers in the playoffs. I mean, they’ve always seeded it in a way to try and control who plays in the championship, but this year was just over the top.
On top of all that, college ball causes me too much stress. Your team has to play a perfect season in order to have a hope at a decent post season, and even then you have to be in the favor of the corrupt. I only watched about a quarter of our games this year, and didn’t watch the bowl game. Instead I’ve become more interested in minor league hockey. They play so many games that you can lose a bunch without it ruining the season, and it’s funnier to watch.
Oh, you didn’t hear. Their entire first, second and third strings either opted out or went in the portal in response to them getting hosed
If the first stringers went into transfer portal for being the number FIVE team in the country, they were going to go anyway, and then FSU would still be unworthy to be in the playoff.
College football is a fuckin joke. The fact that they have the balls to form a 4 team "playoffs" and act like that's improving teams' chances of winning the title is incredible.
They should have modeled their playoffs off their own March Madness and they would have been rolling in the dough. They just can't give up the "Bowl" games though.
