the most annoying possible end to the college football season

I dunno, I can think of more annoying ones. What if Iowa was in the playoffs?

Anyway, congrats Michigan. I have a lot of friends that went to school there so I was passively rooting for the wolverines.

Uh, you do both: obliterate everything in your path with your favorite team and develop another team into a juggernaut. Then, when both make the national championship, smash the weaker team for the first three quarters before switching sides and seeing if you can come back against your own massive lead.

Yea exactly. I always play 4-5 seasons as ISU so they become multi national champs. Then it’s off to like New Mexico State, Northern Illinois, western Michigan, or something like that. Always fun when the game would offer invites for the little guys to come up to one of the big conferences and some other team had to get kicked down. Forgot what year they had that included.

Yea no kidding. I’m coming to terms that there’s plenty of small to mid business owners with cash to spend, and I’d rather they transfer their wealth to college kids than trying to roll back EPA regulations or something awful like that.

Did I miss that someone was just granted their 9th year of eligibility?

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39337111/miami-te-cam-mccormick-granted-ninth-year-eligibility

quote:

Miami tight end Cam McCormick confirmed Thursday he'd be returning to play for the Hurricanes in 2024 -- his ninth season of college football.

McCormick, who began his career at Oregon in 2016, missed significant parts of four different seasons due to injury, which along with his redshirt year and the COVID year of 2020 allowed him to petition the NCAA for an unprecedented ninth season of eligibility.

I hope this guy is coming out with a fully paid for PhD.

Updated my Big 12 prestige rankings following this past season.

Each season each team gets their conference record ratio (eg, going 5-4 gets you .556 points), runner-up in conference championship game OR being the head-to-head loser in a co-champion season is .5 bonus points, winning the B12CCG or being the head-to-head winner co-champion gets you 1 bonus point.



Kansas State now the Big 12 program with the most cred.

Not usually gonna be a lot of movement from season to season, though Iowa State leapt past Texas A&M and Colorado this year.

Poor Kansas still behind a program that's been in the conference less than half as long as they have :smith:

Also, Tech really suffered from being in the South those first 15 years or whatever. Won a lot of conference games, but no bonus points.

I'm glad Iowa State has finally managed to surpass teams that haven't even played in the conference for 10 years.

Iowa State has 12 and I'm not sure who that would come from.

Ah found it. Keith Krepfle (PHI in 1981) and Dan Johnson (MIA in 1985). Man Cyclones in the Super Bowl are normally on the losing team. Doesn't bode well for Purdy.

I'm just assuming that this is going to be a reskinned Madden.

Considering this commercial has only the barest shots of the game and even those are still works in progress, that yes, they're just reskinning Madden. I don't know how they build a football game from scratch and have it ready to ship in about 6 months without borrowing heavily from Madden.

I guess I’d like to see the comparison of how big ten and SEC teams do. Encouraging as an ISU fan that we are pretty good at drawing eyeballs. I hate that it seems like I have to think about these things all the time now. Gives me a little hope that if the NCAA blows up that ISU might get thrown a life ring.

PSU crowns 4 national champs, breaks the all time points record. They also beat second place by 100 points, obliterating the old record by 30. Starocci and Brooks are both 4 time NCAA champs, making them the 6th and 7th guys to ever do it. Got real choked up after Starocci's win when he basically confirmed he wrestled the whole tournament with a torn ACL. Barely have any words for this. A performance the likes of which may never be seen again.

I'm counting this as an ISU win because you stole our coach 10 years ago (or whenever that was). Not that I'm bitter about it or anything!

There's talk of Kentucky dropping Louisville as an annual game if the SEC goes to 9 conference games. I do think 9 is the right move for the SEC, but I absolutely do not want to lose that rivalry game. It means more to the fans than most of the SEC rivals, maybe with the exception of Tennessee for the eastern part of the state. To me it is a must keep.

I'd also like to see more games against area teams, for example:
Indiana
Cincinnati
West Virginia
Purdue
Virginia or VT
UNC or Duke

I'm sure it won't happen in the current setup. For teams like Kentucky those MAC games are necessary for bowl eligibility. But it's not like those teams above are unbeatable in any given year, and no offense to Akron or Eastern Michigan but would be a lot more exciting from a fan's perspective.

For the SEC, if they go 9 with 3 permanent rivals, I really liked the setup with Kentucky getting Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and Missouri. Not nearly as fond of the other proposal that showed South Carolina, Georgia, and Mississippi State.

Iowa State plays 9 conference games and we still play Iowa every year. I'd have to lose the Iowa game, even if it means we essentially never play any other P5 teams, but I don't really care, I'd rather keep the Iowa game. It's our last rivalry game still around since Mizzou left for the SEC. Frankly, I don't see why Kentucky couldn't keep it up. They really want to replace it with like a MAC or Sun Belt team?

Ah, so we've re-invented 7 reasonably sized conferences.

Lol, no kidding.

So 70 teams covers all the current P5 schools including the PAC-12. I wonder if all of them would get included in the never relegate divisions, or if they'd still put like Vandy, or Indiana or some teams like that in the bottom division. Also, I'm sure this will in no way gently caress up all of the other NCAA sports.
