I don’t need to elaborate.
Y’all have seen WHO’S been loudly and publicly pushing the issue, heard the passionate counter-arguments from our favorite Gator spokespeople and podcasters.
For myself, this borders on something like “the final straw”: a move that, on top of the whole ongoing “pay-for-play”/WAY over-compensating effort to finally somehow balance a long corrupt and unfair back door system, now threatens to (at least for me) goes way too far.
The best “regular season” in sports, where every game means SO much, de-emphasized, concern for quality AND safety thrown out the window right along with it.
Aly Peak is right:
We were good at a 4-team playoff…There is no way ANYONE (or any argument) will convince me that there are more than 4 teams in any given season that need inclusion in any such additional end-of-year decision process.
This isn’t gonna stop. It will only worsen.
Under the current 100-plus NCAA, the huge “money vacuum” we saw would seemingly inevitably suck in more teams, more games: Though we knew that might demand 8 teams—ie. added another round of 4 games, but it has already quickly grown beyond that and now threatens to “blow UP” entirely!
Personally, I’d like to see us and the Big Ten (plus a handful of others, inevitably—you know who these are likely to be) pull away entirely, abolish reliance on any damn “ill-qualified COMMITTEE”, and come up with some kind of media and/or fan-based polling to choose a limited post season “Championship Group” (I say FOUR TEAMS, but would accept “six or eight, tops”).
Sort of a cross between “old and new”.
What do y’all say?
I am convinced that if we do not put a stop to this thing NOW, insist on “something else entirely”, begin lobbying for it loud, long and HARD, we will inevitably inherit an unrecoverable MESS.
