The biggest game of the SEC east last year was “#1” Tennessee at Georgia. The atmosphere was insane. The loss was HUGE for Tennessee. With a 12 team playoff, the game was meaningless in the grand scheme. Hell, even Tennessee’s total and complete (and completely deserved) ass whoopin by SC was meaningless in a 12 team playoff. The regular season will be MUCH less exciting. You know the big name teams are going to get in. Anyone that thinks 12 teams is going to make for more parity it sorely mistaken. It’s gonna be the same teams getting in now…plus the same teams from the last few years. Bama, Georgia, Clemson, Oklahoma, ND, Ohio state, Michigan…they’re just all gonna be in at the same time now instead of taking turns.

 

Sounds like more football, which I’m in for. Regular season will also dictate seeding, so there’s that.

 

Yeah, I've heard this argument from you before and just plain disagree. Michigan-Ohio State, for example, will always mean something. The 12-team playoff games will mean far more than generic meaningless bowl games that don't have the potential to lead to the ultimate reward all because some guys in a room said you weren't worthy. Upsets will happen, maybe rarely, but they will happen. This is long overdue.

I agree with this take. The rich will just get richer

 

You say that like any of the previous systems benefitted the poor…

 

At least they were in control of their own destiny, sort of. USF, TCU, Washington...
I think regional conferences are cool and they're definitely going away. Everything is cyclical and I hate to see the college football landscape change dramatically because SEC is dominating past 10 years, that won't happen forever

 

Hey also I bought a Tundra like yours. Any feedback before I pick it up?

Make sure you rinse all of the Pitt nonsense off of it.

 

It looks they addressed the major issues these trucks have, but I’d still really take a look at that frame being a northern truck.

timing belt, lbjs, and frame rust are your big culprits on these. Otherwise they don’t die.

 

Yep, honestly all the realignment is killing it more than the playoff changes. That and NIL, transfer portal, etc.

The playoff changes are the most minor of all of those as far as impacting the sport as a whole in my opinion

 

Pittsburgh area is rust belt ground zero. Frame replacement means they got a new frame to rust out.
