If you want an image of the future, imagine a 320 pound offensive tackle blocking a free safety on play action post routes forever

I'd expect to see lots of tight end types. In practice, the 320 pound guy would never get into position fast enough to matter.

Why not? It's not like Georgia or Alabama have been dominant this year.

Making up championships is a pillar of college football

To be honest, it's no worse than we're getting with the "playoffs." Two of four winners (will be) kinda mediocre*

Some UCF people seem to think the Big Ten wants to add them.

There are a ton Big Ten alumni in Florida. But unfortunately, not in September or October.

I still can't believe they used to vote on the national champion before the bowl games were even played, no wonder like 5 different teams claim championships every year during that era.

IDK, the whole idea of playing meaningful games after a 5-6 week break is bonkers :colbert:

Then how could Alabama give out championship rings?

I suspect the NCAA made a special exception for official championship rings. UCF's rings wouldn't be official per the NCAA.

Winner should claim the FBS title as well.

Apparently, they can rightfully claim to the the one-and-only "Official" champion.

I'm not sure that's an advantage; more distractions at home.

I think he means there's a straight-up cash flow problem at ESPN. The contract for an expanded playoff might be more than ESPN can handle, even if they are meeting ratings targets.

Easy fix. Move the championship game back to network tv

It probably should be there anyway for the long term health of the sport.
