Welp. UCONN's not happy

Sounds like someone who is delusional about the worth of UCONN

Is that not a common affliction for fans of all teams?

UConn should focus their energy on becoming competitive in football and putting

UCONN went to a BCS Bowl.

To be fair, they have been to a BCS bowl

Love how one bcs game can overcome decades of horrible football

Especially an automatic berth in a BCS bowl. News flash guys - going to a BCS bowl is not proof of anything

In general it proves that a team had an elite regular season.

Or that everyone they played was not very good

YIsForBrigham

10/26/16 9:12pm

That's why I said in general. But usually a team that wins all their games is

Nice cherry picking

UCONN was my choice

Uh Missouri has won multiple sec and big 12 division titles

You took one aspect of what I stated, "BCS" and that is all

Kansas went to one too

If they would just make the playoff 8 teams and add a spot for the best G5 champ

The problem with relaxing transfer restriction is that while some guys would

That would be the case, Bama would never lose.

Dissenter

10/26/16 3:48pm

They transfer down fairly often, you just never hear about those.

Scratch

10/26/16 3:53pm

because they aren't high-profile names, which is my point.

Dissenter

10/26/16 3:59pm

We should be careful with our language - when speaking of expanding the playoff to 8 teams we should always seek a

HarlemCoug

10/26/16 10:08pm

I think you expand to 12 or 16, at least ideally (not that ideal and CFB have ever met)

CougarVeteran

10/26/16 10:43pm

this is so lame

Dissenter

10/26/16 11:22pm

Should the regular season matter, should teams be eliminated from the championship before the season starts?

CougarVeteran

10/27/16 12:02am

They can play if they schedule up and beat someone. They don't deserve to go over better teams just because they play in

YIsForBrigham

10/27/16 12:06am

Yes, the regular season matters. Thats why the Sun Belt should never be in

Dissenter

10/27/16 7:57am

why? shouldn't it be based on merit? I think teams should play in based on wins

insidebyu

10/27/16 12:54am

yes it should be based on merit - that's why it makes no sense under the current rules that if we're ranked

HarlemCoug

10/27/16 8:03am

That isn't based on merit though. Based purely on merit would be ZERO auto bids

Dissenter

10/27/16 10:42am

you'll never get a purely merit system - why would the people with power yield the power for no reason?

HarlemCoug

10/27/16 10:44am

They won't... And I'm not even saying they should

Dissenter

10/27/16 10:52am

If there was an 8 team playoff I would be happy to join a G5.

shakinbaker

10/27/16 1:39am

Frankly this is what needs to happen. The P5s are monopolistic.

Considering that BYU is worth more than 1/2 (looking at you Utah) we have a case

Orrin Hatch has about as much influence

OliverGranger

ND's playoff payout is like 10X more than BYU's... how is that legal?

Hill4Heisman

10/26/16 7:15pm

Doesn't matter because BYU will never earn a playoff payout.

ManBearPig

10/26/16 8:59pm

That's not true. BYU received a CFP payout this year

YIsForBrigham

10/26/16 9:13pm

The payouts don't go only to schools and their conferences that participate?

ManBearPig

10/26/16 9:23pm

No. Everyone gets some

YIsForBrigham

10/26/16 9:25pm

So how are the shares determined?

ManBearPig

10/26/16 9:47pm

I'm too lazy to look actuals but BYU got something like $200K and ND got $2.5M.
